16 candles written and directed by John Hughes, is a great love story about a young girl named Samantha Baker, played by Molly Ringwood, whop feels she is not beautiful and imperfect, who admires the most popular guy in school from a distance. The movie takes place on the day of Samantha’s birthday but she soon finds out that her family forgot about her birthday and completely neglected her. Eventually everything turns her way when the man of her dreams leaves his current girlfriend for the lonely Samantha. This movie had a great group of child actors. This big hit in fact helped to jump start Molly Ringwood’s in Hollywood carrier, where she would later star in the famous “Pretty In Pink” and “The Breakfast Club”. This was a very difficult role because of the character molly had to play. She had to be a very serous teenager who also acts like a valley girl at the same time. Her performance in this movie helped to make it a big hit as well as an all time classic Romance Movie. Also, the director did a great job in I showing how teenagers act in high school. He portrays high school using a lot of goofy humor, showing the funny side of a teenager’s life. There was a surprising to me in the casting when I saw John Cusack playing a minor role as one of the geeks, Bryce. This was in fact his second movie he had ever been in, and of course his carrier improved to became a more popular and successful actor than Molly Ringwood.
