Overview
With the occasion all but overshadowed by her sister’s upcoming wedding, angst-ridden Samantha faces her 16th birthday with typical adolescent dread. Samantha pines for studly older boy Jake, but worries that her chastity will be a turnoff for the popular senior. Meanwhile, she must constantly rebuff the affections of nerdy Ted, who is unfortunately the only boy in school who seems to take an interest in her.

Viewing Notes
Classic. Captures so many authentic and specific high school experiences. Some fairly non PC concepts that have not aged well. Some great tunes - The Specials! As always - So great to see John and Joan Cusack!
