Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

just watch it!

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Very 80s. Very high school. Pretty in Pink is a classic Brat Pack film that does a good job expressing some of the emotional drama that teenagers go through. I still don't see the appeal of Molly Ringwald, though.

This movie has some very memorable acting. It reminds me very much of a time when people had to act and struggled for their jobs unlike most of the actors/actresses of today. It also has extremely tacky moments but leaves you satisfied that you did not waste your time watching it. I did not like the ending, there should have been two alternatives. The film for me was worth it, if only for the 80's gadgets and hairstyles etc, the music was OK too, but not to everybody's taste. It felt very much a film that kept me connected, engaged with each persons struggles and brought out memories i had long forgotten about my own youth. HD Stanton who's acting i cannot get enough of, was spot on, not forgetting Paris Texas (1984). I would recommend this film if only for nostalgic reasons

I usually take to John Hughes movies pretty well, but "Pretty in Pink" was strangely flat for me. Part of the reason is that I saw "Some Kind of Wonderful" first (which, despite its faults, is much more effective in its pursuits), this is also a fairly lackluster cast, with Annie Potts being the only real standout (although, the ladies' room scene was some genuinely funny Jon Cryer). But that ending . . . everything points to Andie ending up with Duckie. The way the story moves, everything, it's a foregone conclusion. We know how this will shake out. Yet it goes the other way, and for no good reason. In a movie like this, that's a nonsensical rug-pull. It kinda helps when you know the behind-the-scenes reason for this, but it's still a fumble.5/10

This movie would be forgettable, without Molly Ringwald, and John Cryer. They made the movie come alive.The plot is fairly well re-tread story, told many times since the dawn of mankind. The story relates to a class struggle between the rich and the poor and much like Romeo and Juliet, or Pride and Prejudice, we have two people trying to bridge the gap. We see the difficulties with trying to do that.Finally we get the ending, that audiences picked, but the writer, John Hughes did not intend. They way it was filmed, it looks very contrived and needed a lot more thought in the way it was written. It would be the ending I would pick, but not the way they wrote and filmed it.John Cryer cuts loose with some pretty good performances throughout the movie, and Molly, is very pretty and appears as the perfect role model for her time. We know that her character will not make a choice that is not popular with audiences.The music is very 80s, with three New Order songs, all very synthesized techno-pop and from the portion of these songs that is in the movie, they sound like instrumentals. As it stands, they are not bad songs, but, New Order has much better sounding music. There is a decent Title Theme, played twice in the movie. However, there is an overplayed song at the ending (If You Leave) which just goes on and on and on, endlessly until finally the movie ends.
