Leave your thoughts about Sixteen Candles.
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelThe best teenage comedy since last year's "Risky Business." |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is a fresh and cheerful movie with a goofy sense of humor and a good ear for how teenagers talk. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThere's also a darkly handsome high school heartbreak kid (Michael Schoeffling), a merciful brisk pace, some quick humor (visual and verbal), and a solid music track. |
| Common Sense MediaRandy WhiteRacy, drunken, hilarious '80s high school comedy. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestThe plot is kinda corny, yet really enjoyable. The predictable happy end actually make you grin with pleasure. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenMolly Ringwald is radiant here as the eternal teen looking for love. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe movie is cheerful and light, showcasing Mr. Hughes's knack for remembering all those aspects of middle-class American adolescent behavior that anyone else might want to forget. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonA high school film just smart enough to be special and bad enough that it could be improved upon. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrAlong with the lapses of taste that have become standard in pictures aimed at teen audiences, filmmaker John Hughes offers moments of wit and warmth. |
| Mania.comRob VauxHigh school is high school no matter what the date, and Hughes ensures that the constancies of that age remain unchanged. |
