Introduction to the Movie
The name “16 Candles” pops up in the minds of any fairly movie-addicted person whenever they try to think of any teen romance film. It is one of the of the cult classics in the genre of coming of age comedy film directed by John Hughes (Labrador, 2018).
Sexual Misconduct in the Movie

There are a few things with direct reference to the story, which would not have been received, in a positive sense through the eyes of 21st century public.

That is indeed a very dull representation of a proper attitude being displayed towards the juniors of the house by the elders.

As viewed by Bartlett, Clarke and Cover (2019), the concept of body shaming does not only stick around to that of boys made upon girls. It gets carried on to a scene, which takes place in the locker room, where Sam and her best friend Randy makes explicit and definite remarks about the body of another girl Caroline and makes judgmental comments about her.
Next thing that comes in is the faint racism that happens in the movie and it is highly undernoticed in the film. However comic it might have sounded and however fun it might have been to...
