Today is Samantha Baker's (Ringwald) sixteenth birthday, so everything should be special and different. But her sister is about to get married, and in all the excitement, Samantha's family forgets about her birthday! The day goes from bad to worse, as Samantha obsesses about Jake Ryan (Schoeffling), the most popular senior in the school, and has trouble avoiding the freshman geek (Hall) who is after her. Fortunately for Samantha, Mike is getting tired of his homecoming queen bombshell, Caroline (Morris); unfortunately, she has to babysit Chinese foreign exchange student Long Duk Dong (Gedde Watanabe), who has been living with her grandparents. This 1984 film is one of writer-director John Hughes's better teen stories -- sweet and hilarious, though some of the foreign student humor is a bit tasteless.
