Histoire
Sixteen Candles follows Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald), who feels overlooked and unappreciated as her entire family focuses on her older sister's upcoming wedding. On her 16th birthday, she worries that her crush, popular senior Jake Ryan (Michael Schoeffling), will find her too inexperienced for him. Meanwhile, she continually rebuffs the affections of nerdy Ted (Anthony Michael Hall), who seems to be the only boy interested in her. Throughout the day, Samantha navigates these romantic challenges and tries to enjoy her special day amidst the chaos.
