Sixteen Candles

Of all the movies out there my favorite movie of all time, is Sixteen Candles with Molly Ringewald. My mom introduced me to the movie when I was in middle school. The basic story line is that Sam's sister is getting married and it's her birthday and everybody forgets about Sam. In the movie Sam has a crush on a senior named Jake Ryan. However a nerdy freshman has a crush on her. He does a lot of embarrassing thing to try and get with her. Sam doesn't think Jake Ryan knows she exists because he has a beautiful girlfriend. It plays out at the end the everyone apologizes to Sam for forgetting her birthday and she gets the guy in the end. Long Duc Dong is one of the funniest characters in this movie. He is a foreign exchange student that lives with Sam's grandparents. He speaks very poor English and ends up getting an American girlfriend who is almost twice his size. My favorite part of the movie is when Long Duc Dong goes to a party at Jake Ryan's and has too much to drink and ends up in a tree in front of the house. Later on that night Jake walks out by the tree and Long Duc Dong jumps on him. It's a very funny movie if you like older movies. I highly recommend the movie to anyone who hasn't seen.

    I agree that sixteen candles is an amazing movie. I think it's one of those that will never get old. It's so sad that they forget Sam's birthday just because of her stuck up sister. I remember the bedroom scene when Sam's sister is trying to do her hair for the wedding? and she accuses Sam of being selfish. I would hate to have my birthday forgotten, especially if it was my 16th.

    This movie is the best! It is so cute and I love Molly Ringwald. I dont know if you watched it, but she is in the show The Secret Life of the American Teenager and I find it interesting to see her all grown up now. The movie is so funny especially if you like older movies. I love the parts when Sam sees Jake and is always really shy around him, but little does she know ge is sort of interested in her.
