In her first feature 
     
     since she appeared in di- 
     
     rector. John Hughes’ teen 
     
     trilogy, “Sixteen Candles”, 
     
     “The Breakfast Club”, and 
     
     “Pretty in Pink”, Molly 
     
     Ringwald is back, looking 
     
     more grown up than ever in 
     
     writer/director James To- 
     
     back’s newly released film, 
     
     entitled ‘The Pick Up 
     
    
   
   
    
     Artist”. 
     
    

    
     Although the title char- 
     
     acter does not apply to 
     
     Ringwald, but rather her 
     
     co-star Rob Downey, Molly 
     
     still receives top billing in 
     
     the credits. Actually, con- 
     
     trary to what the title im- 
     
     plies, the film has very lit- 
     
     tle to do with the art of 
     
     the pick-up, nor promiscu- 
     
     ity in contemporary Amer-

     problems encoun- 
     
    
   
   
    
     tered when Downey’s char- 
     
     acter Jack, a 21-year-old 
     
     elementary school teacher 
     
     OBSESSED with meeting 
     
     women on the street, links 
     
     up with an aesthetic vision 
     
     of a redhead named Randi, 
     
     whose father just so hap- 
     
     pens to owe some gangsters 
     
     $25,418 in accrued gam- 
     
     bling debts. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The plot takes off (or 
     
     does it glide?) from there, 
     
     as our. protagonist-hero- 
     
     romantic Jack becomes en- 
     
     tangled with Randi’s crisis 
     
     to pay off Dad’s debt so she 
     
     doesn’t have to sleep with 
     
     “the second richest man in 
     
     the nation of Cobimbia”. 
     
     Are you with me up to this. 
     
     point? 
     
    
   
   
    
     In general though, the 
     
     film works well, and does 
     
     provide some fine cine- 
     
     matography, in addition to 
     
     some well chosen location 
     
     shoots in and around New 
     
     York City. There are also 
     
     some very witty moments 
     
     along the way, including an 
     
     encounter in a dark alley 
     
     with a mugger, NO! it’s an 
     
     ELVIS impersonator, a la 
     
     “Blue Suede Shoes”. 
     
    
   
   
    
     And if 
     
     the initial. grosses from its 
     
     first week in release are any 
     
     indication, “The Pick Up 
     
     Artist” should put it well 
     
     into the black and continue 
     
     to propell Ringwald, mak-
