Hi, I'm Abigail, I'm nineteen years old, and I've NEVER seen Sixteen Candles. It's not like my family doesn't watch older films, I mean, from the time I was a teenager, 80s and 90s films were classics in my household. We were seemingly always watching films like Armageddon (1998), 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) Top Gun (1986), and more.
The first five seconds screamed eighties. The jean jackets, the big hair, and the bangles. It was kinda awesome.
I could easily and quickly understand why my parents didn't think it was appropriate. The sheer amount of "naughty" language, naked bodies, and sex talk present within the first fifteen minutes was kinda insane. I couldn't help but literally say out loud "This is seriously PG?"
