BJ / Lobo Movie: "King Richard And The Crusaders" Vengeance Of Rosalie" DobieGillis Father Knows Best Hollywood Insider Millionaire Maker By Matt Diedrich Reporter “Pretty in Pink” is just about what one might expect from John Hughes, the creator of “Sixteen Candles” and “The Breakfast Club”: a funny, sweet, well-acted, relatively realistic teen comedy-drama. Unfortunately, its not much more than that. Hughes, who serves as the film's screenwriter and exec utive producer, has fashioned a likable little movie that sur passes “Weird Science,” his pre- vious effort, by miles, but doesn't quite capture the sense of “real life” which permeated “The Breakfast Club.” “Pretty in Pink” revolves around Andie Walsh (Mollv Ringwald), a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who attends a mostly “richie” high school. She passes the time calmlv bearing the taunts of her classmates and occasionally moping about her lack of a date to the prom. The trouble starts for Andie when she falls in love with nice but wealthy guy who even- forts, tuallv asks her to the prom. His The film contains a number friends don't like his crossing of funny scenes, and Hughes “Pretty in Pink" revolves around Andie Walsh, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who attends a mostly “richie" high school She passes the time calmly bearing the taunts of her classmates and occasion ally moping about her lack of a date to the prom. social boundaries, and neither do hers. Most of the movie’s insights into the problems of class dif ferences and peer pressure have been covered before, most nota bly in 1983’s “Valley Girl.” Yet the dialogue and performances are so fresh and enjoyable that they save “Pretty in Pink” from becomingjust another rehash. Hughes has received high praise for his ability to capture the way real teenagers talk. His success in this area continues in “Pretty in Pink,” although to a makes the most of them. There is hardly a dud in the entire bunch. In the dramatic scenes, how ever, he scores less frequently. Too often the script makes the characters sound like “charac ters” instead of real people. One scene in particular, in which Andie and her father (Harry Dean Stanton) come to grips with her mother’s three-year absence, seriously strains the morie’s credibility by leaning too heavily in the direction of Fortunately, “Pretty in Pink"’s cast overpowers most of the weaknesses in the script. Molly Ringwald delivers an other remarkably natural per formance and continues to dis play the potential to become a major star in the near future. Ditto Andrew McCarthy, who successfully straddles the line between nice guy and jerk. Yet the scene-stealer in this movie is Jon Cryer as Duckie, Andie's nerdy friend who likes her a lot more than she knows. The character is essentially a better-developed version of the geek from "Sixteen Candles”: he’s funnier, but also less irri tating and more svmpathetic. You almost hope that he, not Blane, will end up with Andie on prom night. Despite its familiarity, “Pre tty in Pink” still manages to get the viewer on its side and keep him there. It may not be any thing special, but it does enter tain." That’s more than can be said for a lot of movies. NEED A TUNE UP? BAD BRAKES? CAR WONT START?
