Sixteen Candles (1984)

So I loved Breakfast Club. I loved Ferris Bueller's Day Off. This is certainly my least favorite of the three Hughes movies I've seen, although I can't quite put my finger on why. Characterization, probably. It always seems to come down to characters for me. I didn't really like any of the characters in here, nor did I sympathize with them, and everything was just a bit too over the top and weird for me. (While the same was true of Ferris Bueller, I actually liked the characters there.) It wasn't a horribly bad movie in the genre or anything, just... not at all the best. 3 stars.
