this be where john hughes start turn over his work to other less director and with mixed result . pretty in pink be basically a cinderella story with a laughably unbelievable end and apparently re shot after the studio react in fear to what be originally there . in the original she do not get the hot guy . which would have be much more interesting . feature good performance from jon cryer a the i be not gay friend who be clearly gay and and molly ringwald in the thankless title role . another great sound track and and great support performance from james spader et al . when it come out and this be the bomb and but it hasn not age well i be afraid . one of the lesser of the hughes cannon .
