Review title: Brat Pack classic.... but not much more.
Product review: Pretty in Pink is your basic ugly duckling story without much else.... other than a screaming view of early 80's fashion. James Spader's performance as the detestable ringleader of the "cool kids" gives a sneak peak of his future repeat performances as detestable characters (see: Boston Legal, Secretary, etc.). Andrew Shue is as irritating as ever with his wide-eyed "innocence" and pursed lips which are, apparently, meant to indicate internal self-flagellation during his less-than-sensitive moments. Annie Potts and John Cryer give the only two performances without reproach (and Duckie's famous dance to "Try a Little Tenderness" is not to be missed)but are, sadly, relegated to second-tier characters. This film isn't even up to par with the other Brat Pack films as far as storyline and character development (which isn't saying much!), but, in the end, at least you'll get a chuckle out of Andie's pink polka-dot atrocity.
