Editorial Review:

Young Andie (Molly Ringwald) is one of the not-so-popular girls in high school. She usually hangs out with her friends Iona (Annie Potts) or Duckie (Jon Cryer). Duckie has always had a crush on her, but now she has met a new guy from school, Blane (Andrew McCarthy). He's one of the rich and popular guys but can the two worlds meet?

The era of Molly Ringwald's profitable collaboration with writer-producer-director John Hughes (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club) was at its peak with this 1986 film (directed by Howard Deutch but in every sense part of the developing Hughes empire). Ringwald plays a high school girl on the budget side of the tracks, living with her warm and loving father (Harry Dean Stanton) and usually accompanied by her insecure best friend (Jon Cryer). When a wealthy but well-meaning boy (Andrew McCarthy) asks her out, her perspective is overturned and Cryer's character is threatened. As was the case in the mid-'80s, Hughes (who wrote the script and produced the film) brought his special feel for the cross-currents of adolescent life to this story. In its very commercial way, it is an honest, entertaining piece about growing pains. The attractive supporting cast (many of whom are much better known now) does a terrific job, and Ringwald and Cryer have excellent chemistry. --Tom Keogh

Thank you:

Blast to the past and now my teenage daughter is hooked. Bought the set of Molly Ringwald 80ies movies including this one for a Christmas Gift. The price was just right and DVD arrived in great time and in good condition.

PRETTY IN PINK extras...:

I only read a couple of the other reviews so someone may have already pointed this out. Just in case, tho, the PRETTY IN PINK, EVERYTHING'S DUCKIE EDITION has a bunch of "extras" listed, including THE ORIGINAL ENDING: The Lost Dance.

One of the 80's classic bests ...:

Just a perfect film all around for those of us who were of age on the 80's.

5 stars for item; 2 for more corporate scuminess:

We saw this on the shelf at a Target a few weeks back. Save your money if you already have the collector's edition; this is just the old edition w/a CD of '80s music.
