*sigh* This could have been such a great movie. The cast was good, the story was typical John Hughes and it was perfect 80's but something went wrong. (Spoilers ahead!!) In the original cut, Andy was supposed to end up with Duckie but test audiences didn't like that so she ended up with Blane. And it totally does't work! The whole movie is done so that you really like Duckie and don't like the way Blane treats Andy and yet she ends up with him and that just never sat right with me, it doesn't feel right. (End of spoilers)
But, despite that, the performances are good and the characters are fun and much like Hughes' other concoctions. It's obviously dated but in a good, 80's way and the soundtrack is very of the time. It's not one of my favourite Hughes movies but it is still worth …
