Andie, Blane and Duckie are making their way back to the big screen to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of John Hughes hit Pretty in Pink. The 1986 rom-com about love and high school cliques in the 80’s brought to us one of the elusive “Brat Pack” members, Molly Ringwald.
High school senior Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) is a working-class girl who has a crush on one of the rich, preppy boys in her school, Blane McDonough (Andrew McCarthy). When Andie and Blane try to get together, they encounter resistance from their respective social circles.
Andie lives on “the wrong side of the tracks” with her underemployed father, Jack (Harry Dean Stanton). Andie’s best friend, Phil “Duckie” Dale (Jon Cryer), is in love with her, but plays it off as a joke in front of her. In school, he and Andie are harassed and bullied by Blane’s friends, the arrogant so-called “richie” kids, Benny (Kate Vernon) and Steff (James Spader). Steff is especially interested in Andie, but she finds him repellent and continuously brushes him off. Andie works at TRAX, a new wave music store, managed by her older friend and mentor Iona (Annie Potts). Iona advises Andie to go to her senior prom despite not having a date. (Wikipedia)
Not only will we be brought back to the age of big hair and shoulder pads, but rumor has it that we will get some behind the scenes footage and alternative endings. So do you think it will be as good the second time around? What are you excited to see or experience again?
