pretty and pink what what the record oh the record yeah I thought it was a little too uh too hip maybe yeah little too hip among John Hugh's finest films is pretty and pink starring Molly Ringwald after her success in The Breakfast Club and 16 Candles Andrew McCarthy appears as the rich kid who falls for her and John crier is her hopelessly devoted friend crier is among the standouts of the cast as The Lovable ducky along with Ringwald delivering one of her best performances so so when you get your heart splatt it all over hell and and you're feeling really low and dirty don't don't look to me to help pump you back up cuz cuz cuz cuz maybe for the first time in your life I won't be there both the Future 2 and a Half Men star and McCarthy play off Ringwald well in career making turns
