2/4
"I wouldn't want to be there when Duckie finally detonates."  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

3/5
"It is perhaps too much to ask that a John Hughes film bear the standard for class warfare in the 1980s, especially when the film was so tone-deaf in depicting its subculture's milieu."  ToxicUniverse.com  Chris Barsanti

4/5
"It may not be the greatest love story ever told, but it might be the one with the most heart."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

3.5/4
"...even the notoriously reshot conclusion comes off as genuinely sweet and touching..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

"Delves into youthful romance and the character required by youth who hurdle high school caste systems."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

6/10
"Pretty in Pink is clichéd, stereotyped, remarkably sentimental, and sweet as all get-out."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

3/4
"John Hughes was born in 1950 but connected deeply with the next generation's cultural brooding."  Slant Magazine  Paul Schrodt

79/100
"It’s not deep, and it’s far from original, but Hughes’ word processor apparently still had a little magic left in it."  Apollo Guide  Scott Weinberg
