Now I'm not a HUGE fan of John Hughes movies, but since I am celebrating my 16th birthday this week, I figured "Sixteen Candles" would be good to recommend! Molly Ringwald, who most of my generation might know from "The Secret Life of the American Teenager, stars as a sophomore named Samantha (Sam) Baker. If you couldn't infer from the film's title, Sam turns 16 on the day the movie takes place. Unfortunately her older sister is getting married soon, and the entire family forgets all about her birthday. Of course Sam has a love interest at school who just happens to be a very popular boy named Jake. Even though it seems Sam's chances with Jake are slim to none, there is another boy who is interested in Sam. Ted (Anthony Michael Hall) may be a geek, but he still has his eyes on Samantha... Do I need to continue? There are many subplots rather than one main storyline, but it's probably worth your time if you want a good laugh!
