A coming of age flick about a girl who uncharacteristically lets her hair down when her 16th birthday gets overlooked by seemingly everybody. Occasionally funny and packed with what would've been a great soundtrack – deep in the 80's – Sixteen Candles is, unfortunately, a little out-dated with its script and direction-less plot. Still, it’s worth watching once just to have a grasp on the many reference bombs that still get dropped today by former 80’s teenagers stuck in golden age mode (yes, I'm referring to the Community writers). Plus, it's a boon that the film was made in the year of my birth - but that's purely personal.6/10
