Pretty in Pink | Rotten Tomatoes

Neil C Third best of Hughes' '80s classics. Same old story, amazing cast... Ringwald plays off both McCarthy and Cryer perfectly. She manages to round out "Andie" beyond what the script gives her. Oh, and the soundtrack never fails to amaze. (Somehow Hughes would go on to top this one with Some Kind of Wonderful. Breakfast Club was his best movie, but aside from Simple Minds, that soundtrack is forgettable.) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Chris G Rich guy takes a girl on a terrible date. All this friends make fun of her, she gets home. "I think I love him" Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Kensi B What makes this movie are the excellent leads: Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy, Jon Cryer, Harry Dean Stanton, Annie Potts, and James Spader. And the amazingly-cool soundtrack. But the plot and dialogue... dear god it's stale. Hughes would routinely dash off screenplays over a weekend and this one really shows. The characters are all cliches. The dialogue is often so bad I wonder how the actors got through it. Luckily, they are all incredible pros and had great chemistry. Not one of Hughes' finest but still works thanks to them. And the soundtrack. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 A great coming of age romantic comedy with a stellar cast. Jon cryer opposite molly ringwald is the perfect duo. Tim Treakle Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Terry M All the performances are wonderful from the young actors Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy especially is spectacular eating up the scenery, Jon Cryer whose energy is magnetic, and James Spader who really makes you despise him. Harry Dean Stanton is great as well and the story of a single father raising a teenage daughter is a good subplot to the romance. Annie Potts is a great friend to Molly Ringwald's character, would she really needs in the story. The music is really great. The camera work and lighting make each scene have a certain cinematic quality that stands out over time. Out of any of the teenage movies to come out of any era, this is definitely a work of art not just entertainment. Molly ringwald and Andrew McCarthy have a great chemistry and really look like they belong with each other. It doesn't feel forced in any way. Jon Cryer's character, Ducky, is Molly Ringwald's best friend even though his crush is severe you can tell that he's not really in love because they're such friends. It really is just an innocent crush and eventually the movie really handles the situation great and it's very believable the way it ends. I truly believe that this is the ultimate stand out movie of all teenage romantic comedies and they should all live up to it's standards. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review George H My first date was seeing this movie. I could relate to the plot, being from a poor family dating a girl from a rich family. Definitely a top ten 80's film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
