...start old and get younger?" keens Iona (Annie Potts), a perky eccentric in her 30s who has never discarded the totems of a happily trashy youth: prom dress, beehive hairdo and the Association crooning Cherish. But there is enough sweet irony in her voice to suggest that she has looked into the face of her teenage pal Andie (Molly Ringwald) and seen just why the Fountain of Youth is laced with citric acid. Teenhood is the pits. Faces are constantly aflush with anger, ardor, embarrassment. Anguish over dates and grades streaks the first application of mascara. Clique rivalries make...
TRAPPED IN NEW YORK'S Soho district, Paul Hackett is Desperately Seeking Sanity, encountering manic-depressive prom queens, time-warped cocktail waitresses, avenging ice-cream truck drivers and shaver-brandishing slam dancers around every corner. For Paul, the evening had begun innocently enough, running into Beautiful Stranger Marcie (Rosanna Arquette) at a mid-town diner as each pretended to enjoy a solitary meal. In no time at all, the two exchange phone numbers, and after checking the cable T.V. schedule for the evening, Paul decides to try his luck with the lady from uptown. Tempting him with the prospect...

In Houston, a cab company is offering free rides to inebriated promgoers, and tuxedos rented from Al's Formal Wear will come with a printed warning about drinking and driving.

...FIRST GLANCE at that wonderfully extended first glance over Nicollette Sheridan (the very titular Sure Thing). Rob Reiner's new movie looks like some hybrid of a late night blue movie on cable, an updated It Happened One Night with a junior prom live! soundtrack. But the putative story line--incompatible boy meets non-patible girl, girl rejects boy, girl and boy get thrown together on long trip, fall in love, break up, stumble back in love, kiss in moonlight, roll credits, sell cable rights, ad clicheum--stays mercifully irrelevant in what soon becomes a veritable impros comedy feast coated...
Thank you for inviting me to speak tonight, ladies. My name, as you all know, is Barbie. Remember when all I cared about was making sure that Ken took me to the prom? Well, those baby-doll days are part of the unliberated past. Today's Day-to-Night Barbie is 26 and equally at ease in the executive suite or at the disco. We're not talking about knee-jerk feminism here, ladies, and I do think it would be unfair to say, "Barbie goes yuppie." But I now have my own workout center, computer-equipped work station...
