Similarly, Biff Tannen (Thomas Wilson) is a turd in every timeline, whether he’s an obsequious next-door valet or a rich tyrant.
Fox) goes back in time and galvanizes George to step in and knock out the high school bully drunkenly attempting to force himself on (his future wife) Lorraine (Lea Thompson), the decision changes George’s entire life. George McFly (Crispin Glover) is a good guy in any time period. If you think about it, the Back to the Future trilogy shares the same moral as Batman Begins: that it’s our actions, not who we are underneath, that define us. The ninth grader later ends up playing matchmaker for older Sam and Jake, who, in class end-of-a-John-Hughes-movie fashion, connect and share a kiss at the intimate birthday party that Sam never knew she wanted. Sam finds a confidante, not in her sophomore friends, but in juvenile Ted, who possesses enough surprising wisdom to offer meaningful support. But unlike other high school flicks of the era, like Porky’s or Fast Times at Ridgemont High, most of the characters in this comedy-of-age comedy don’t revel in being caricatures of high school stereotypes they break out of them. John Hughes’ Sixteen Candles isn’t without controversy, with geeky, Engrish-speaking Chinese-exchange-student stereotype Long Duk Dong (Gedde Watanabe) and later, a disturbingly casual conversation about date rape between Jake and Ted.
High school sophomore Sam Baker (Molly Ringwald) feels trapped-at home, as her recent 16th birthday has been completely forgotten because of her older sister’s wedding the next day at school, with an upcoming senior dance that’s sure to be awkward for her and in her love life, where Sam has attracted the eye of nerdy freshman Ted (Anthony Michael Hall) while being not-so-secretly infatuated with popular senior Jake Ryan (Michael Schoeffling). This tiny cupcake is the first sign that Annie might be able to regain control of her life and start mending the outlandish amount of damage caused by her competitive spat with Helen. She starts small and bakes a single, perfect cupcake with mint green frosting and little pink petals. Eventually, after an unpleasant incident involving a bunch of puppies and a chocolate fountain, Annie gets kicked out of the ceremony entirely.įinally hitting an emotional rock bottom, Annie goes back to the one thing she knows and loves: baking, which she had previously given up entirely. The guy she’s hooking up with (Jon Hamm) has no interest in a relationship, she lost her entire savings due to the recession, and all her best ideas for helping plan the wedding get stolen and instead offered to the bride (Maya Rudolph) by the drippingly phony Helen (Rose Byrne).
After losing her bakery, her boyfriend, and her role as maid of honor and organizer for her best friend’s upcoming wedding (sorry for the diarrhea, guys!), Annie Walker (Kristen Wiig) becomes a recluse.
