Samantha wakes up on her 16th birthday to find that her whole entire family has forgetten it! This is all due to the fact that her older sister is getting married the next day. Sam decides to continue her day without mentioning it to anyone. She attends a dance at school that night where a nerdy freshman tries to kiss her. She then agrees to let him borrow her underwear so he can impress all of the other freshman. Samantha has a crush on Jake a handsome, popular senior; who happens to be dating the most popular girl in school. Jake has a party after the dance and the whole school goes including Samantha's asian houseguest Long-Duck Dong. Sam decides to go home and call it a night.
Question: Has Samantha's birthday ever been officially said? She says she looks the same as she did that summer and all that shows is that she doesn't have a tan left. People are still wearing tank tops, dresses, skirts, shorts, etc. throughout the movie. It appears to be early to mid September but nobody says anything in the movie. Does anybody know?
Answer:Her birthdate is not mentioned. Regarding the weather and how the locals dress, it depends on where they live. California, for instance, has a fairly warm climate much of the year, so it would not be unusual to see the people there wearing summer-type clothing in early Autumn.
Answer:The brother is constantly wearing Chicago gear. I'd bet Chicago. You can lose your tan in one month. That's a long time to a kid back in school. Plus the dance they go to is called the New Faces dance which may be a beginning of the school year.
I did a little checking on the movie production. According to the Wikipedia entry for this film, "Sixteen Candles was filmed primarily in and around the Chicago North Shore suburban communities of Evanston, Skokie, and Highland Park, Illinois during the summer of 1983." The summers in this region are usually quite hot and humid which may account for why the cast was wearing lighter clothing throughout the film, even though it was supposedly taking place in Autumn.
