Moviegoers are saying
This '80s coming-of-age classic divides audiences over its iconic love triangle, with viewers passionately debating whether Andie should choose the devoted but 'intolerable' Duckie or the chemistry-lacking Blane. While critics slam the leads' wooden performances and question the actors' humanity, they unanimously praise Duckie's legendary record store dance sequence and James Spader's scene-stealing sleazeball performance.

some of y’all actually believe that duckie was straight ?? i have to laugh
sindhuAug 3, 2018that scene where the lovable duckie dale slides into the record store and dances/lip syncs to try a little tenderness by otis redding will forever be one of the most iconic moments in cinematic history and that’s just a fact!
nicoleMar 2, 2019Young, stupid brain: Andie should end up with Duckie because he's the only halfway decent guy in the whole movie. And he does the Kenny Ortega lip-sync dance really well. Grown-up, normal brain : Andie should end up with Blane, because even though he kinda sucks, he's…

I still don't get how we're supposed to feel bad for Duckie when he's really intolerable???
KimJan 14, 2019Duckie? Nah. Blane? Eh. '80s era James Spader as a total sleazeball? HELLS YEAH.

i miss when guys in straight romances were gay
sOct 12, 2019molly ringwald and andrew mccarthy have as much chemistry as a wet sock but you know who doesn't? james spader and his collection of suits that he, a high schooler, owns for no explicable reason

- Mina lovedPretty in Pink
Oh my GOD have I got a new favorite movie?!?!???🤭😍😍 I LOVEDDDD THIS LIKE OMG THIS WAS EVERYTHING AND MORE😭 I loved everybody in this film, except for Steff obviously but who cares abt him anyway lol, I LOVED Blane and Ducky and I’m so happy she ended up with Blane he’s everything
Lilah Roldan likedPretty in PinkI have tried to watch this movie 3 times and I couldn’t even get passed 20 min. Finally on my 3rd try I watched it and I LOVED IT. Definitely can see why it is such an iconic 80s movie. Love how it was kinda Romeo Juliet. + MOLLY RINGWALD IS THAT GIRL. 8/10 would 100% watch again
Iso is "meh" onPretty in Pink5.5/10 I am always watching this for the fashion not the plot. The plot is boring and falls very flat. The characterization is… okay I guess. I just love Duckie’s silly little outfits as well as the secondary characters. Makes me wish I lived in the 80s more than I already do.

Metacritic
Slack and unconvincing throughout with the exception of Ringwald, who remains natural and appealing as the thin world of the film collapses around her.
