i love the movie of the 80 . i really like a lot of brat pack flick . john hughs other film make around this time and breakfast club . it great and four star . but 16 candle be not very good . initially and i like the humor while it be more shocking and contemporary than i expect and with an ironic twist . but the film premise degenerate quickly into a huge nonsensical mess . not good old 80 fun mess and but stupid and racist and sexist drivel . at time and the attempt at humor make my jaw drop and they be so inappropriate and extremely unfunny . breakfast club similarly toy with audience expectation and break rule concern the handling of subject matter like sex and drug and society in high school while it end up be a very honest and poignant film that make you laugh your as off . it no citizen kane and but breakfast club equal good flick . if you be in the mood for a night with the brat pack and my suggestion be to skip 16 candle and a film i find offensive and devoid of anything entertaining and in favor of the far superior breakfast club . positive .
