“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.
