Sixteen Candles
1984movie
JOHN HUGHES'S ''16 Candles'' is a cuter and better-natured teen comedy than most, with the kinds of occasional lapses in taste that probably can't hurt it in the circles for which it is intended. The middle of the film wastes time on a bit more house-wrecking and car-crashing than is absolutely necessary, and there are some notably unfunny ethnic jokes.Adolescent Insanity SIXTEEN CANDLES, directed and written by John Hughes; director of photography, Bobby Byrne; edited by Edward Warschilka; music by Ira Newborn; produced by Hilton A. Green; released by Universal Pictures.
More than just nostalgia, Sixteen Candles offers a window into the hopes, dreams, and frustrations that define youth. Its humor may be dated in places, but its emotional core remains powerful. For anyone who has ever felt invisible, wished to be understood, or longed for a perfect moment to call their own, Sixteen Candles still holds meaning.
