* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Steff is probably one of Hughes's biggest ones, if not his biggest asshole character put to film. He's crass, rude, treats his girlfriend like shit, and smokes pot.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Andie's rebellious friend Jena shows up in a few scenes early in the film (including a memorable bit of snark and attitude in a gym class scene) but vanishes without a trace half way through leaving Andie with just Iona as a female confidante.

** The well-meaning gym teacher just makes things worse when she tries to punish the rich bitches bullying Andie. She also doesn't seem to notice Andie's friend smoking in the gym; likewise, Steff openly smokes in the school hallway and no one seems to notice or care.

** Steff's parents seem to be entirely absent, and he seems to be rebelling by trashing the house without consequence. And Steff mentions Blaine's parents, alluding to the possibility they might be abusive.

Added DiffLines:
* ImprobableAge : Ilona keeps saying she's old enough to be the younger cast's mother, but there's about a 15 year age difference. Of course, given it's Creator/AnniePotts, she doesn't look much older than her co-stars, and was 34 when the film was released.

Creator/MollyRingwald stars as Andie Walsh, a teenager with a crush on an upper-class boy, Blaine [=McDonough=] (Andrew [=McCarthy=]). When he turns out to reciprocate her feelings and they pursue a relationship, their respective social circles show some resistance.
Andie lives on the WrongSideOfTheTracks with her unemployed, divorced father (played by Creator/HarryDeanStanton), for whom she cares almost as a mother would. Her best friend Duckie (Creator/JonCryer) is in love with her, but plays it off as a joke to maintain their friendship. The two of them are harrassed by the "richie" kids, Steff (Creator/JamesSpader), and Benny (Kate Vernon). Andie works for her older friend Iona (Creator/AnniePotts) at TRAX, a New Wave music store in Chinatown. Iona urges her to go to the prom.
