I finally and eventually got round to watching Some Kind of Wonderful: normally, this is not the type of movie I'd get excited for and it is also one that wouldn't have appealed to me back in the 1980s. The characters, as a whole, are less cliched and stereotypical, due to the performances which range from respectable to impressive (but for probably say Stoltz) across the board. The movie, thankfully, avoids the mistake of making Amanda a shallow, b****y type of girl and Thompson makes her out to be redeemable when she could have so easily been undesirable. Her character, Amanda is not a villain per se, rather she tries to be a good friend to Keith, whilst being unaware her current squeeze is, in fact, cheating on her. Lea Thompson has been an actress, who especially through Back to the Future, has been a major player in the early to mid-1980s Hollywood movie scene, but who has seen major movie roles dry up over the decades. I mean, he was okay, but he was also bland in a way too and I expected a greater performance from him in a drama that is heralded by many of one of the best that deals with teen romances and Keith is far from a compelling character, nor one that made a major impact.

Eric Stoltz (originally the first choice for Back to the Future's Marty McFly, before Michael J.Fox became the series mainstay) is effective, without really exploding on screen. Mary Stuart Masterson plays Watts so well and who is cool and the tomboy type who is into the same or similar things as guys and Masterson delivers her best onscreen performance and one that really should have led to bigger and better roles. Watts comes across as confident, defiant who wears a leather jacket and rocking that rock chick-look - yet underneath it, all is an insecure girl who can't muster up the courage to express how she truly feels to Keith. Complications arise further when Keith dreams of being with the attractive Amanda Jones, and that Amanda's ex & rich boy, Hardy wants her back and sees Keith as nothing more than his nemesis. Artist and student Keith is oblivious to the fact that so-called tomboy Watts not only has a crush on him but that she has fallen in love with him too.

Before they could stand together, they had to stand alone.Back in 1987, John Hughes, who had previously helmed the likes of The Breakfast Club and Pretty In Pink, took another crack at the so-called popular teen falling in love with the misfit/underdog in Some Kind of Wonderful: a film in which over 30 years on, has become part of the teenage canon, despite being derided as a gender swap version of Pretty In Pink and with the same director at the helm, Howard Deutch.Ī love triangle develops between a boy who is attracted to a pretty girl, but the boy's female best friend suddenly develops feelings for him.Amanda Jones: Are you just gonna leave? Keith: There isn't anything I could do to him that he hasn't already done to himself. Okay? Keith Nelson: You want the truth? You want the plain truth? You're over. Okay? I see no reason in carrying this on any longer. Hardy Jenns: Look, I'm perfectly willing to forget this. The only things I care about in this goddamn life are me and my drums, and you. 'Cause I can't afford to have you hate me, Keith. And I'd rather not see you and have you think good things about me.than have you see me and hate me. Keith: Why? Watts: Because I'm driving you crazy and you're driving me crazy. We'd get along much better if we didn't spend so much time together anymore. But now that we've talked I can't hide it anymore. and I came to a conclusion that I didn't want to deal with. I've been thinking a lot lately about you and me. Keith: How do you know? Watts: I'd bet my hands on it. Watts: Do you miss me, Keith? Do you miss not being around me? Keith: This isn't the third grade anymore.
Keith: Who doesn't have ID? Watts: Maybe she doesn't like you as much as you think. Watts: In any words? Maybe she didn't have ID. ĭialogue Watts: She said she'd meet you here? Keith Nelson: Not in those words. In your heart you wanted to give these to somebody else.
