On the eve of her sister's wedding, suburban teenager Samantha (Molly Ringwald) suffers silently as her family forgets her birthday. Even worse, some total dork (Anthony Michael Hall) keeps propositioning her with sophomoric innuendo when she really craves romantic attention from high-school hunk Jake (Michael Schoeffling). Moving from Samantha's family home as it's invaded by outre relatives to a high-school dance where nothing seems to go her way, this bittersweet teen comedy traces the hopes and disappointments of not only Samantha, but also a host of incidental but memorable characters, from a hapless Japanese exchange student to a prom queen and a posse of barely pubescent nerds. A climactic party scene at which these various strata of young America overcome their rigid hierarchies sets the stage for resolutions both tender and torrid. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

In his directorial debut, successful comedy screenwriter John Hughes maps out the insecurities of middle-class adolescence with wit, empathy, and a large cast of enjoyably loopy teen characters. The film made pouty, chic Molly Ringwald a star, and more than 15 years later it isn't hard to see why. Sarcastic one minute, heart on her sleeve the next, she embodies the anxieties of bright but stifled youth the world over. Anthony Michael Hall, John Cusack, Joan Cusack, and host of lesser-known players make the most of their sometimes limited screen time with broad, dead-on comic personae. "Heathers" would scrawl ironic graffiti across this tender portrait of naïve suburbia a mere five years later, but few films, if any, have since captured its good-hearted charm. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi
