Another reason being a teenager in the 90's is so dull for me. If I were a teenager in the 80's, I'd have gotten to see movies like this when they were first released. I have to now rely on seeing them in video stores.
Although this doesn't work up to what The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles did for me, it comes very close.
It's a movie about a poor girl on the wrong side of town who meets a wealthy boy that takes her breath away, and the two are effected by the prejudice from their peers ("My best friend is conversing with a mutant.")
When I tell people about Pretty in Pink, they think that this is probably another chick flick and hunk junk which features some hot name actors and no other tasteful ingredients. That is, until they see it.
I'd recommend this film to any high school couples who are being torn apart by peers and outside influence, and they will learn that the key is to always believe in each other.
My rating: ***1/2 (out of 5 *'s)
