Sixteen Candles

A teenager’s 16th birthday is overlooked as her family focuses on an upcoming wedding. While she quietly longs for a popular older student, an awkward classmate pursues her attention, leaving her to navigate crushes, embarrassment, family chaos, and the pressures of growing up.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like nostalgic coming-of-age comedies such as Pretty in Pink or Clueless, but Not for you if dated stereotypes and uncomfortable sexual material overshadow lighthearted teenage romance.
