Directed by Howard Deutch
1986
★ 3.2 editorial score
Molly Ringwald's prom dress is stitched together from two others, an image the whole film runs on: Howard Deutch directs a John Hughes script about who gets to sit where.
“It concerns Andie Walsh, a smart girl from the wrong side of the tracks, who is pursued by both a BMW-driving rich kid and a clownish, good-hearted, impoverished boy who really loves her...The story's ending has a trite but irresistible nobility, as Andie does just about the bravest thing a high school girl can do.”
