funny and i saw this a a young kid and the only thing that make an impression on me be the beginning when molly ringwald parent forget her birthday and and the final scene where she get her happy end . i must have block out everything inbetween because i do not understand it at that age . watch sixteen candle again a an adult and i be stun by how racist and sexist and crass most of the movie be . how can it be so revered and i wonder . crude sex joke and over the top humour and cringe worthy asian stereotype . yikes . most offensive be the scene where molly old man crush hand his unconscious girlfriend over to the geek and encourage him to have his way with her while she pass out . what the hell . be this movie actually condone rape . unbelievable . and be suppose to root for an innocent young girl to hook up with this creep . i know many teen comedy from the early 80 still have that 70 sensibility and and nudity or vulgarity be common . but i just do not expect porky style hijinks from john hughes movie and which be often acclaim for their realistic portrayal of teen life . this particular film seem to get many positive review for be groundbreaking in it realism . but this ain not my version of reality . i dunno and maybe sixteen candle be and at the time and a step up from previous teen movie . still and it definitely my least favorite hughes film and and i wouldn not recommend it to any impressionable youngster out there who might pick up some very bad message . if they have a good memory than i do .
