He's the wealthy heart-throb who asks her to the prom. But as fast as their romance builds it's threatened by the painful reality of peer pressure. A bittersweet story with an upbeat ending and a phenomenal rock score Pretty in Pink also stars Harry Dean Stanton Jon Cryer James Spader and Annie Potts.System Requirements:Running Time: 96 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 097360421644 Manufacturer No: 042164 Amazon.com: The era of Molly Ringwald's profitable collaboration with writer-producer-director John Hughes (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club) was at its peak with this 1986 film (directed by Howard Deutch but in every sense part of the developing Hughes empire). Ringwald plays a high school girl on the budget side of the tracks, living with her warm and loving father (Harry Dean Stanton) and usually accompanied by her insecure best friend (Jon Cryer). When a wealthy but well-meaning boy (Andrew McCarthy) asks her out, her perspective is overturned and Cryer's character is threatened. As was the case in the mid-'80s, Hughes (who wrote the script and produced the film) brought his special feel for the cross-currents of adolescent life to this story. In its very commercial way, it is an honest, entertaining piece about growing pains. The attractive supporting cast (many of whom are much better known now) does a terrific job, and Ringwald and Cryer have excellent chemistry. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 5 stars for item; 2 for more corporate scuminessWe saw this on the shelf at a Target a few weeks back. Save your money if you already have the collector's edition; this is just the old edition w/a CD of '80s music. Rating:  - Molly's best John Hughes film."Pretty in Pink" is one of my very favorite movies. John Hughes did a brilliant job with this film! He put Molly Ringwald with a brilliant cast that was amazing and he touched on the touchy subject of social class in High School very well.

Rating: - Goofy Plot, but Strong Cast & Characters Make This Teen Flick Memorable. I didn't see "Pretty and Pink" in the 1980s, but the film's enduring popularity motivated me to take a look 22 years hence. "Pretty in Pink" is part of John Hughes' oeuvre of '80s teen flicks, even though Hughes did not direct the film. Hughes wrote and produced; Howard Deutch makes his feature film debut directing. As was common with John Hughes films, the plot is simple and silly. The substance is supposed to be in the behavior. Unlike his other films, I think that Hughes achieved more with casting ...
