Pretty in Pink

Comparisons between Netflix's recent teen rom-coms and the ultimate teen movie king, John Hughes, are inevitable. The whole popular-guy-and-unpopular-girl storyline is a staple of his films, but none more so than Pretty in Pink. Jamey, Noah Centineo's slightly dorky jock in Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, often resembles Blane, the soft-spoken rich guy who falls for Molly Ringwald's proud, working-class Andie. Happily-ever-afters abound, but only after some honesty on both sides.
