Trivia
Anthony Michael Hall and Molly Ringwald initially disliked each other, so John Hughes took them to a record store and they bonded after they found out they like the same music. One of the groups they liked was The Rave-Ups which Molly scribbled on Samantha's notebook.

Goofs
When the family is leaving for the wedding, the grandparents all pile into the car, but it was not large enough to accommodate the group. Grandma Baker squats near the passenger door to create the impression that she is sitting in the car. However, when the car is backing out of the driveway, you briefly see her curved back remain stationary while the car moves away from her.

Quotes
The Geek: [to Samantha] Can I borrow your underpants for 10 minutes?

Alternate versions
VHS releases, cable TV broadcasts, and the initial DVD release change the majority of the soundtrack. The 2003 DVD and Blu-ray release restore the original theatrical soundtrack.

Connections
Edited into Une créature de rêve (1985)

a very good movie

I watched this movie for my film studies class, for a assignment. It is one of my moms favorites I have always heard about it but never had watched it. This movie was surprisingly really good. Not just because of the fact my mom liked it! I really enjoyed, watching it for the first time just not expecting it to be that great but a classic movie about high-school in the 80s like any other I have seen I definitely recommend if you enjoy comedy and a little bit of romance! I definitely will be watching this as a go to when I dont know what else to watch this movie seems to be one that just can't get old!
