"The best teenage comedy since last year's 'Risky Business'" | ||||
"A fresh and cheerful movie with a goofy sense of humor and a good ear for how teenagers talk" | ||||
"The premise is ordinary, but the film is distinguished by funny gags and excellent performances by Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall." | ||||
"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" | ||||
"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" |
