Tali: Pretty in Pink, one of John Hughes's films, tells the story of Andie, a girl from a lower-class background who falls for and starts a relationship with a wealthy classmate named Blaine (blech). This film has John Waters written all over it - and it's delightful. Every word in the script and every rhinestone and knick knack on Molly Ringwald's outfit is carefully calculated and exhibits the feeling of youth culture at the time to a T. Plus, this film gave me
a glimpse of John Cryer that I was totally not expecting (and was totally great). The one thing that I did not like was the ending, which I was not expecting, and not how I wanted the movie to end. 83/100.
Leo: This movie was nice break from the more serious movies we've been watching. It was funny and the script was incredibly well-done. The only problem I have was with the storyline which was simply anti-climactic. You could only feel bad for John Cryer's character because Andie (Molly Ringwald) ends up going back to the uninteresting classmate named Blaine and there's little-to-no closure for John Cryer. The highlight of the movie was seeing a very young James Spader who has grown up to be quite a terrifying but likeable villain in The Blacklist.
