Pretty in Pink

Pretty in Pink - DVD (1986)
I was 18, they were 18 - the music was great, and I don't think I have watched it in 20 years. Of course it looks a bit dated now, but the message is still relevant, the trouble fitting in, the waiting for the guy to call and the hard part about fitting in, being part of a group.

I LOVE that Molly Ringwald is a normal girl, they couldn't do that now. She would have to be a plain girl, who at the prom metamorphosed into a porn star clone by taking off her glasses and shaking out her hair.

The boys were geeks, but what 18 year old boys aren't? Not many that I knew anyway. So a 3/5 from me.
