Sixteen Candles

A teenager’s 16th birthday is overshadowed by her sister’s upcoming wedding and forgotten by her family. While she quietly longs for a popular older student, an eager younger classmate pursues her attention, adding awkward complications to an already emotionally turbulent day.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like nostalgic teen romances with awkward humor and heartfelt moments; Not for you if dated racism, sexism, or uncomfortable sexual themes overshadow the comedy, as in Pretty in Pink or Clueless.
