ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

djfrost-46786 I never watched this movie in the 80's. Lol or ever tell now 2018 cause Amazon had it on sell. As an Amazon Prime customer, Roseanne better come back on Amazon. This movie is average, kinda like Empire Records in the 90's. I don't need to watch this movie again.

Will K Molly Ringwald was without a doubt an icon, queen and legend of 80s films. She was in so many notable and culturally significant films, and this one is without a doubt her best work.You might expect this film to be of the comedic likes of Sixteen Candles, but it is anything but. With tinges of comedic aspects scattered throughout, the film takes a more dramatic and serious tone. Molly lives a poor life with her father who is unable to keep a job, and her mother left three years ago. We take a dive into her home life and her sweet relationship with her father, and the toll her mother's absence has taken on the family.This story is truly about "for richer or for poorer" as Molly becomes entangled with Andrew McCarthy, a rich kid at school. The plot follows her being ashamed of her financial status, and Andrew's friends taunting him for stooping down to date a poor girl.The story is truly one that will make your heart melt. However, we come to an ending that is as predictable as one could be. A cinematic kiss as the credits roll. Obviously this is to be expected for the ending of a film like THIS, but it's the exact same ending as Sixteen Candles. Save the ending, the film is truly a work of art.

randy filkirk This movie has some very memorable acting. It reminds me very much of a time when people had to act and struggled for their jobs unlike most of the actors/actresses of today. It also has extremely tacky moments but leaves you satisfied that you did not waste your time watching it. I did not like the ending, there should have been two alternatives. The film for me was worth it, if only for the 80's gadgets and hairstyles etc, the music was OK too, but not to everybody's taste. It felt very much a film that kept me connected, engaged with each persons struggles and brought out memories i had long forgotten about my own youth. HD Stanton who's acting i cannot get enough of, was spot on, not forgetting Paris Texas (1984). I would recommend this film if only for nostalgic reasons

gavin6942 A poor girl (Molly Ringwald) must choose between the affections of her doting childhood sweetheart (Jon Cryer) and a rich but sensitive playboy (Andrew McCarthy).Of all the films John Hughes wrote or directed, this is probably the least best. At no point in time does the boyfriend give us a reason to think he has changed, or that he is even someone we can see the lead actress falling for. Years later, Molly Ringwald said they probably broke up shortly after the film ends. This is probably true, as nothing suggests otherwise.Jon Cryer was impressive here, and it is a bit of a shame he is playing a geek (or a closeted homosexual, as some have suggested). Clearly he has a great deal of talent and physical ability, so it would have been nice to be able to show that off without having to be the fool.The film's redeeming quality -- and there is only one -- is the casting of Annie Potts. Although best known for "Ghostbusters", she is allowed to show off her acting and range here, and she comes across as the most lovable character. (Interestingly, she is supposed to be fifteen years older than Ringwald -- which she is in real life -- but has aged so well that they could be in the same grade.)
