Storyline
Samantha's life is going downhill fast. The fifteen-year-old has a crush on the most popular boy in school, and the geekiest boy in school has a crush on her. Her sister's getting married, and with all the excitement the rest of her family forgets her birthday! Add all this to a pair of horrendously embarrassing grandparents, a foreign exchange student named Long Duc Dong, and we have the makings of a hilarious journey into young womanhood. Written by Rick Munoz <rick.munoz@his.com>

Trivia
When Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall first met, they did not get along at all. Director John Hughes took them shopping at a music store and they discovered they had similar musical tastes and eventually got along. See more »Goofs
Continuity: Jake won't let Ted drive his car, a Porsche, because Ted doesn't know how to drive a stick (manual transmission). Near the movie's end, Jake sees Ted and Caroline in the church parking lot and stops his Porsche to look. When he continues forward and turns into a parking space he can be seen bringing the shifter backwards. This would indicate an automatic transmission. A manual transmission would require him to shift forward, into first gear. See more »Quotes
