I took a dip with the Fail Whale and together we came up with a long, completely non-definitive answer.
Pretty in Pink
Pro's:
- Molly Ringwald has possibly one of the cutest red-headed bobs in the world and the most appeasing round-pouty lips. And her vintage chic sense of fashion made every little girl dream of playing dress up. Rule No. 1 in fashion, if you believe in the look, haters will be jealous and the right people will dig it.
- Jon Cryer and his character Duckie. Enough said.
- This scene.
- Annie Pot's Wardrobe. Pow. Bam. Boom.
- The names Blane and Steff . . . wtf. Oh, Steff as a man's name.
- And the biggest con, so it really counts as 5, it's an 11 on the heartbreak volume, Duckie doesn't end up with Andie. It still hurts.
Pro's
- Good golly Miss Molly's in it, but besides her it's just a perfect ensemble cast.
- Eat my shorts.
- It takes place in a library. Fucking-A.
- Anthony Michael Hall's character "Brian Johnson" flies solo. No love for the geeks.
- I know I said it was an ensemble cast, but alone, Ally Sheedy's character, "Allison Reynolds" always irked me. No clue why.
- We watched this film in my high school Health class and everyone took it upon themselves to act out each scene for weeks. For an example of how annoying that can be watch this.
Pro's
- Molly Ringwald pretty much MADE this movie for me. She captures introverted, awkward teen angst so well.
- Long. Duck. Dong.
- I can't believe I gave my panties to a Geek.
- Michael Schoeffling never did much for me.
- They fucking forgot her 16th birthday. That's just upsetting (my family forgot my 12th . . . it wasn't a milestone).
- Spandau Ballet's "True" is a favorite but . . . compared to the other two movies, its soundtrack is the weakest.
