- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021Excellent film, in every way. You will fall in love with The characters. Ignore reviews that say this movie is tasteless or harmful. It’s an exaggeration and it’s just another effort to censor speech and art. The Arrow video blu ray has a booklet containing a long article about these 80s John Hughes movies being insensitive, but noting that they’re just good enough to still exist. Because they “start conversations” about important topics. So does this mean that if they weren’t good, they would be scrubbed from hIstory? I was in high school in the 2000s - way after these movies were made, and we spoke and behaved in much the same way that the kids in these movies speak and behave. The problem may not be that these kids in the movie were ignorant or mean spirited or evil. The problem may be that people in the age of twitter are censored, repressed, shamed and instructed to think in terms of identity rather than individuality. I thought a persons background or identity is not their defining characteristic. It’s a side note. Something that can be made fun of. It’s not a point of pride, to be born a certain way. Pride is reserved for accomplishments. That being said, the Asian American kid in sixteen candles was lovable, fun and well-liked by his peers, but the fact that the movie played a gong during his scenes removes all that makes him great or somehow lessens his worth? Absolutely not, it’s poking fun! There is a greater understanding that this movie covers. We are all worthy of being lovingly made fun of for a multitude of reasons. It’s important to laugh at ourselves and each other. Whether that be because of aspects of our character or inalienable traits. Its the intent behind the joke that matters. Did the joke intend to hurt people? Or was it all in fun? Getting teased is part of growing up and becoming an adult in a harsh world. And the movie does NOT glorify sexual deviancy, it acknowledges that some young people don’t understand the gravity and seriousness of this behavior. To show that something exists does not glorify it. In 2021 an acceptable movie is something like “midsommar” a grotesque, disgusting, inhumane film that features torture and gore beyond belief. But making a joke about someone is what should be censored and shamed? It’s kind of strange honestly. There aren’t countless damaging and inflammatory opinions in the review section of all the filth that is currently available to watch on streaming services like there is for this movie. Why is human suffering enjoyable, while lighthearted teen antics are unwatchable? I hope this isn’t the permanent direction we are headed. Because graphic images of violence over long periods of time wear down a persons ability to experience empathy, and are much more damaging to the soul than inappropriate jokes. I hope that most people still realize this.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2023I was too old to see this film when it came out: I’m younger than that now. Samantha has the usual teen girl angst: guys, competition with other girls, concerns about her attractiveness and physical development, being noticed. The movie gently makes fun of them and of a few other targets as well (old people, wedding, immigrants, etc). Sam is expecting special attention on her sixteenth birthday, but her entire family, caught up in her sister’s wedding the next day, completely forgets about it. Her grandparents arrive and are interested in her development. How are you, she asks? They respond with a bevy of physical ailments. Her grandmother gives her a hug and declares that her breast are developing. Great, Sam says, “I’ve just been felt up by grandmother.” Sam and her friend are awed when they see a more developed teen in the shower. She turns out to be the girlfriend of the guy that Sam is interested in—a senior who, she thinks, doesn’t know she exists. No way she can compete with her, Sam supposes. Meanwhile, she has attracted the attention of a geeky freshman whom she tries to shove off. There is a touching scene when Sam’s father comes to her at night to apologize to her for forgetting her birthday. It seems out of place in the film until we see the parallel scene, the geek mixing martinis and giving Sam’s heartthrob senior advice about girls. The satire is so gentle that most viewers seem to think the film is a straight story. In the years since the film, many people have lost the ability to laugh at these topics—all the more reason to see this film.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024Growing up as a teenager is difficult, deciding where you fit in or not, and who you like and want to date. The acting is terrific. I won't give anything away, but you don't want to miss this movie.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2025Always enjoyed this
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2024I was 16 when this came out, lots of memories and what a great time, this movie is funny and a great trip down memory lane, if you’re an 80s kid, you have to watch it!
