The 1986 film “Sixteen Candles” tells a timeless tale of growing up in suburban America. The film’s star, Sam, played by Molly Ringwald, wakes up with big expectations on her sweet sixteenth birthday only to be completely disappointed. Not only does she find that she looks exactly the same as when she was fifteen, but her family is so preoccupied with her older sister’s wedding that they forget her birthday altogether. The film opens …

…mind to have sex with Jake since she is “in love” with him. In conclusion, the film “Sixteen Candles” is a classic example of some of the issues most everyone faces when coming of age. However stereotypical, the portrayal of the adolescent experience is truly captured in this film. I think most everyone that watches it can relate and be reminded of how fficult, confusing, exciting, and wonderful that time of their life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
