80s teen film darling Molly Ringwald stars in yet another film from the John Hughes stable, although John Hughes only wrote and produced this one. It was actually directed by Howard Deutch. Ringwald plays Andie Walsh, a girl from a broken home who lives with her poor, unemployed father Jack (Harry Dean Stanton) after her mother walked out on them. Andie attends the local rich-kid high school on a scholarship. She doesn't have a lot of money and never feels like she fits into the school crowd, and so has few friends at school. She does have one mate there in Phil 'Ducky' Dale (Jon Cryer), who is also on a scholarship and is virtually a kindred spirit. Ducky is the classic John Hughes 'clumsy loser in love' type character and he makes no secret of his affections for Andie, basically falling over himself to win her heart. Unfortunately for him, she doesn't return the sentiment. Andie's love life seems to be heading nowhere until a young hunk at school, Blane (fellow 80s darling Andrew McCarthy) catches her eye. Blane is smitten by Andie's charm much to the chagrin of his best friend Steff who makes all sorts of snide and rude comments about Andie, insinuating that she is nothing more than trailer trash and Blane could do a whole lot better. But Blane soldiers on despite the urging of all his friends and the apparent displeasure of his family. The whole story basically revolves around the improbable relationship of the rich kid and the poor kid and whether or not they will make it to Prom night.
This classic 1980s teen film from the master of the genre, writer- producer John Hughes features plenty of great '80s pop tunes from the Psychedelic Furs, The Smiths, Echo and The Bunnymen, New Order, and more.
