![]() ![]() The movie's told mostly from her point of view, and it's like " Valley Girl" - it's about young kids who think a lot about sex, but who are shy and inexperienced and unsure and touchingly committed to concepts like True Love. The movie stars Molly Ringwald as Samantha, a bright-eyed teenager who pulls off the difficult trick of playing a character who takes everything too seriously - without ever taking herself too seriously. It doesn't hate its characters or condescend to them, the way a lot of teenage movies do instead, it goes for human comedy and finds it in the everyday lives of the kids in its story. This is a fresh and cheerful movie with a goofy sense of humor and a good ear for how teenagers talk. If "Sixteen Candles" begins to sound a little like an adolescent raunch movie, maybe it's because I haven't suggested the style in which it's acted and directed.
