 | | And unfortunately, since we’re big fans of Sixteen Candles and the other Brat Pack-era films like The Outsiders, St. Elmo’s Fire, The Breakfast Club, et al, it was hard to wipe away that image of Molly Ringwald’s Samantha and her beau, Jake, sitting cross-legged oogling each other across a lit birthday cake. |
 | | So this Pride and Prejudice is a bit of a chamber music for kids’ orchestra, with chooks in the background and plenty of dirt and rain and tousled hair and some adult guest players deepening the sense of reality. |
 | | Such a change in a man of so much pride excited not only astonishment but gratitude — for to love, ardent love, it must be attributed; and as such, its impression on her was of a sort to be encouraged, as by no means unpleasing, though it could not be exactly defined. |
