This is absolutely a John Hughes classic. Gorgeous Eric Stoltz & adorable Mary Stuart Masterson. :) Watch it!!!! :) You wont regret it (: (: (:
A cheesy 80's teen romance, but exactly the type of film that epitomises that era for me.
Never knew this was Eric Stoltz though!
Lea Thompson is sooooo pretty it's no wonder the protagonist was obsessed with her. The love triangle situation was handled with panache, and the kissing scene, where Mary Stuart Masterson literally shakes from toe to tingle with desire - is the one of the best of its kind.
Another 80s classic written by John Hughes, if you liked his other movies, you'll like this one too. It stars a fantastic cast, I especially liked Thompson. This teen romance drama is sweet, funny, and beautiful. I highly recommend it.
Can a guy as good-looking as Eric Stoltz, a guy badass enough to tempt Death by walking in front of a train, actually be the outcast of his school? Yeah yeah, life is hard for beautiful people too.
The movie's nice with some dark moments - Amanda's monologue about turning into ... read more
It might be cliched and follow the stereotypes of high school, but I don't really care. That's what all the John Hughes movies have in them, so it's to be expected. This definitely has the least amount of cheese and sappiness in the bunch, having very real characters at the cente... read more
Another Hughes 80's teen flick I missed but really enjoyed having just watched it :) a really nice cast line up too, the beautiful Lea Thompson, Eric Stoltz, Craig Sheffer, John Ashton, Mary Stuart Masterson and a surprise role for Elias Koteas who I still think is a young De Nir... read more
This is the best of the eighties 'US High School/Teen Angst' movies. There were loads, but none to match this one. There's a character in here for each of you to associate with, be it the nerdy Keith, with the bossy younger sister and the unattainable crush, or Duncan, the kind-h... read more
A simple, lovely and thoughtful teenage story that occasionally shines due to fine characterizations and lucid dialog. Full Review
The film creates a perfect embodiment of every adolescent's nightmare. Full Review
Some Kind of Wonderful is yet another film in which Hughes and his team show a special ability to make an entertaining movie about teenagers. Full Review
Like her energy, Masterson's beauty is kinetic, internalized, and she's a winner even if the film itself runs third in the Hughes opus on teenhood. Full Review
The cynical view of humanity demonstrated within makes it a fascinating outlier in the writer/producer's canon and the '80s teen film generally. Full Review
Typical '80s teen movie is still relevant today. Full Review
A movie that could have been something wonderful, winds up only kind of. Full Review
