Metacritic
Screenwriter John Hughes, making his directing debut, is at his best when he empathizes with the sensitivity in the ugly-duckling Ringwald and Hall characters. [04 May 1984]
Jay Carr
Boston Globe
There are individual sequences alternately amusing and touching. [08 May 1984]
Jay Scott
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The best teenage comedy since last year's Risky Business.
