sixteencandlessixteencandles2

Teen romance starring Molly Ringwald
-Year: 1984
-Year in film: 1980s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Sara ~9, boy ~19
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes
-Bib occurence: very low
-Rating:  2/10 *
-Rating: **
-Comment: I think Cinnamin Idles (see "Kidco") in blue bibs (brief scenes sitting behind a table at 21 minutes, no better scenes) and an older teen boy / young man in blue bibs at 46 minutes (pictured) and 1h02. The girl also wears a blue jeans dress at the beginning.

As announced I bought this DVD because of Justin Henry (pic 1 on left), see also Kramer vs. Kramer, 1979 (rating 3).

The movie is not bad but a typical 80s teen film. I have better ones. Also starring Anthony Michael Hall (some good dental braces scenes with him and others, also Anthony removing his headgear at the end). Unfortunately few good scenes and very few bibs scenes. The plot is about a 16 yo girl (Molly Ringwald), their older sister. However some good scenes of Justin Henry (tight blue jeans and light grey jogging pants). Also some few other younger boys like in jeans or yellow shorts.

Honestly I expected a bit more, although I knew that there are few bibs scenes and scenes of Justin. But I still like it.

Very good image quality of the DVD. (No need for a BD, no extras either).  The 80s music differs on German and English audio tracks and is not like the theater version. (Completetly different on the German track). I wonder why they can't release "The Wonder Years" that way.

Funny also the different dubbing of Justin's voice, some French or Spanish version very high pitched. There is an US collection DVD also containing an interview featuring Justin but I think  as an adult.

For the sake of completion, for bibs scenes rating 2 only. Movie rating about 6, boy actor rating 7-8. I like the 80s.

 

Thanks again db1 for your help. Update of Schloss Einstein (boy) coming next.
