Andie (Molly Ringwald) is is poor white trash in a school full of the rich and popular. Her two friends are Iona (Annie Potts), who owns the record store Andie works in and Duckie (Jon Cryer). Duckie makes no secret that he likes Andie, but she only has eyes for Blane (Andrew McCarthy), one of the cool rich kids. Blane in turn likes Andie, but they are from two seperate worlds, can they manage to work things out, whilst all around them disaprove?Personally I prefer Sixteen Candles if I need a jolt of 80's teen comedy, less angst, but for many this is the one. The culmination of John Hughes' teen fixation. A sort of high school Romeo and Juliet with cliques rather than families.
