| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottThe movie made me so happy, and here I am back on the subway with Nerdo, and there's this jerk across the aisle who's like ancient, 30 at least, and he's got the nerve to look right into my see-through Madonna lace outfit. And he winks. Oh, barf- ola. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...even the notoriously reshot conclusion comes off as genuinely sweet and touching... |
| New York Daily NewsKathleen CarrollAs irresistibly sweet as cotton candy. Even though the poor-girl-meets-rich-kid plot is older than the Hollywood hills, and this romantic comedy lacks the cheeky humour of Hughes' first outing, "Sixteen Candles," the film definitely warms the heart. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackWhen Cryer eases up and lets Duckie’s vulnerability show, there’s an undeniable sweetness to the character. Ringwald, though, is the true wonder: Andie’s head is always held high—and she frequently backs that up with a self-empowering speech—but her facial expressions are constantly in flux, revealing the many other things she’s feeling: uncertainty, insecurity, her own vulnerability. |

| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullIt may not be the greatest love story ever told, but it might be the one with the most heart. |

| Los Angeles TimesPatrick GoldsteinAlthough it is not a great movie, it contains some moments when the audience is likely to think, yes, being 16 was exactly like that. |
| Bullz-Eye.comDavid MedskerNo actor wants to be most remembered for work they did 20 years ago, but Ringwald was truly on another level here. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellFortunately, the actors are mostly likable, and the story is told gently enough to downplay both its trendiness and its conventionality. |
