Media Author Review
United States
Chicago Tribune
"The best teenage comedy since last year's 'Risky Business'"
United States
Chicago Sun-Times
"A fresh and cheerful movie with a goofy sense of humor and a good ear for how teenagers talk"
United States
TV Guide
"The premise is ordinary, but the film is distinguished by funny gags and excellent performances by Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall." 
United States
Chicago Tribune
"Hughes invokes the classical unities of time, place, and plot symmetry, yet he trashes his careful structure every time he needs a gag - destroying the integrity of his characters"
United States
The New York Times
"The movie is cheerful and light, showcasing Mr. Hughes's knack for remembering all those aspects of middle-class American adolescent behavior that anyone else might want to forget"
