TITLE: SIXTEEN CANDLES
RATING/DESC: (PG); FAIR; TEENAGE COMEDY
Oh the agony of being 16 years old: Her sister's marriage upstages her
birthday, the school dreamboat won't pay any attention and a freshman
"geek" tries to seduce her. The frantic, low-brow, teenage comedy,
starring Molly Ringwald in the pivotal role, is a mixture of hip, corny
dialogue and bad taste humor. Characters are mostly familiar, but
interesting at times. Also with Anthony Michael Hall and Michael
Shoeffling.
