★★ Pretty In Pink

[Gino: 2.0 sp]

Gino says: 'I must say, I was disappointed in this. If you recall, I reviewed "Sixteen Candles" earlier this year and liked it. Perhaps unfairly, I was expecting this film to be funny too. Instead it was a high school drama about the rich/poor side of the tracks relationship thing, yadda yadda. But it never really caught-up my attention. If you think about it, while this was a bigger movie, "Some Kind of Wonderful" made only one year later by the same director had pretty much the same story and was much more effective, I think. If you can't wait to see what I review next in my "really? you never saw that in its entirety? what were you doing? playing Dungeons and Dragons or something? series", I will give you a hint: it rhymes with "Battyshack".'
