What critics say influenced Sierra Burgess Is a Loser
But where Ringwald’s outcast characters in John Hughes’ “Pretty in Pink” and “Sixteen Candles” were lip-bitingly awkward, Sierra looks at her reflection and smiles.
"Sierra Burgess Is a Loser" is its own deep movie with a new tone and purpose, but it's still reminiscent of John Hughes movies, especially "Sixteen Candles."
Though when Sierra heads into the kitchen for breakfast, her upbeat, ego-boosting parents (Hughes alums Alan Ruck of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and Lea Thompson of “Some Kind of Wonderful”) ask if she remembered to “leave her insecurities in the bathroom mirror.”
So it makes sense that Alan Ruck — Cameron from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" — plays Sierra's dad.
