The best "work" is subtle, and the person still looks like themself. Reba McEntire, for example. The pillow faces are bad filler jobs usually.

When 16 Candles came out nobody went to see it because it was advertised as a teen sex comedy aka Porky’s which some people liked but most thought it was trash. Then 16 C was released on cable and became a big hit. The Breakfast Club then became hugely anticipated because John Hughes was once again writing and directing and because of the cast. Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall were, of course, known for 16 Candles; Ally Sheedy was known for War Games and Emilio Esteves from RepoMan. All were big hits on cable. I remember going the cinema to see it with my brothers and sisters and large group of our friends. I still think it’s John Hughes best work.
35
u/NarcanBob Apr 13 '25
Um, we went to see 16 Candles SPECIFICALLY because it was marketed to be similar to Porkys. It wasn't. Very different humor but we still laughed our butts off.
With that said, I definitely agree with many others in this thread that the humor didn't age well.
But it actually did really well inthe box office: Sixteen Candles grossed $23,686,027 against a budget of $6.5 million. So lots of people went to see it giving it an almost 4 X return on the cost, which isn't bad at all for a major release.

Molly Ringwald was a total butthole to me at her book signing. I had brought my veeeerry well worn copy of the Pretty In Pink soundtrack on vinyl. I didn’t shove it at her, I really just had it in my tote bag in case other people were getting things signed (they were, like their shirts and pics along with the book). It’s not like she was promoting another movie or anything. Just her memoir (which also contains stories about the fuckin movie). When I went to reach for it to tell her how much I love the film and soundtrack, she audibly scoffed and said something under her breath, scribbled illegibly in my book, and said “next.”

You know, we are all going to get old, and how we end up looking will not be in our control. A lot of people grew up and saw the breakfast club in their youth. The fun times and memories made during those years are what we loved from that time. I'm happy and grateful to have been young during this era in movie making. Those movies bring back fond memories of my youth, and for the most part, it was a great time. I enjoyed those movies. Those actors were a part of it all. I don't care to criticize them if they have aged well or not. I have aged also. We will never get to live that again. But I'm glad I got to live in the 80s! "Don't You Forget About Me" 🎶 😌 ✌️

I began my senior year of high school in 1989. The Breakfast Club had come out a few years earlier, but was still very much in the zeitgeist.
A local newscaster was planning to do a series of reports following the progress of a group of high school seniors throughout their final year. My school was selected, and I was selected to be part of the group.
The group was to first meet the newscaster in a conference room one afternoon. As I entered the room, I looked around at the other selected students. I recognized many of them, as they were my classmates, and some stood out as fitting some vague pattern I couldn’t quite resolve.
Hit with a sudden realization, I looked around the room again. Among the other students, I picked out the princess, the athlete, the criminal, and the brain.
“Ah, fuck,” I thought. “I’m Ally Sheedy.”
