Today, Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald) wakes up chronologically 16 but, as she complains to bestie Randy (Liane Curtis), still hopelessly, physically 15. At school she's hounded by horny freshman, Farmer Ted (Anthony Michael Hall) while she pines away for senior dreamboat, Jake Ryan (Michael Schoeffling) with the perfect girlfriend (Haviland Morris). At home, she has to put up with handsy, meddling grandparents who've brought along a foreign exchange student, Long Duk Dong (Gedde Watanabe). To make matters worse, with the excitement of her sister, Ginny's (Blance Baker) wedding tomorrow, her parents (Carlin Glynn, Paul Dooley) fucking forgot her birthday! We're celebrating 40 years of another John Hughes classic, Sixteen Candles, this week on Doom Generation.
