Remember Molly Ringwald — the girl who never quite made it? This is one of her increasingly desperate attempts to reverse the inexorable slide, but Ringwald can act and here she makes a game fist of playing a rebellious teenager who meets an upmarket designer boy. Ringwald, all flaming red hair and grungy attire, gives a touch of charisma to this well-worn theme, and she receives sterling support from Harry Dean Stanton as her feckless, deadbeat dad. This frenetic, hard-edged film belts along pleasingly enough, but, sadly for Ringwald, it's too hackneyed to effectively hit the mark.
A pretty superior teen angst movie, with John Hughes (executive-producing and scripting but not directing this time)... read more on Time Out
I have seen this movie a few times before renting it out again this time around. You can tell I really love it as I have taken some time to return it!. Basically the film is about rich guy and not so well off girl falling in love.Their eyes meet in a record store where she works. They date, she is embarressedabout where she comes from, which leads to his rich friends giving them a hard time. I fell for the guy - Blaine, instantly. Rent this you will not be disappointed. Great story of love, best friendship and father daughter relationship. Good Winter afternoon viewing!.
this one of my all time favourite films, brings back all the great memories of being a teenager in the 80's. Sweet romantic storyline. If you were a teenage girl in the 80's you will love this chick flick.
