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.
