Summary: One of the best teen movie sleepers out there!
Review: Sometimes a movie you saw in the past creeps up out of your psyche, and all of a sudden you can't get it out of your head. This was one of those movies for me. I saw this movie on VHS on it's original (tape) release over 10 years ago, and again when the Laserdisc was released years later. Now, on DVD, you get an excellent transfer and pristine movie theater sound quality.John Hughes was made famous for capturing teen angst in a way that identified with most teenagers of the period. I think "Some Kind of Wonderful" Hughes is at his best with a realistic story about dealing with love, friendship, and peer popularity. There are famous faces that sneek into this character roles that are great fun to watch. But it's the romantic triangle that keeps the story moving until the end. I'd definitely recommend this movie for those looking for a romantic comedy that makes you think and reminisce about your youth in the 80s. For those already in their teens, you may find this period of fashion and attitude interesting to watch and compare against the current high school scene.

Summary: NOT JUST ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE
Review: OK, so it IS just a remake of PRETTY IN PINK with a gender change. Big deal, who cares? If it had been as teeny-bopperish as the Molly Ringwald version then maybe I would, but it ain't. That's not to imply that PIP is a bad movie. It's just that every time I stumble upon it on cable tv I can't see it as anything else other than a teen flick. Not so with SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL. Hey man, I'm a big fan of '80s stuff (I was 20 when this movie came out), but what I really love about this flick is that I can still watch it and not feel dumb for liking something that was originally intended for high schoolers. For starters let's begin with the characters. What I particularly liked about "Keith" (Eric Stoltz) is that, unlike other characters in previous John Hughs movies, he's depicted as an individual who knows where he stands and won't give in to peer pressure even if it means being a loner with not too many buddies to hang out with. And being a loner in high school doesn't necessarily make someone a wimp, either. Early on in the film he stands up to to the bully skinhead (Elias Koteas) who insults his best friend, "Watts", marvelously played by an adorable Mary Stuart Masterson (we'll get back to her in a bit). And in the end he even goes so far as to go to the house of the popular creep who wants to beat him up for dating the latter's ex. (TO BE CONTINUED....)

Summary: Cute Movie
Review: This is a cute movie made in 1987. This movie was made when teen movies were fresh and original not like now which they are vulgar unfunny and mean-spirited. As usual John Hughes makes a great teen movie. I won't give the movie away but it doesn't end how you will think it ends. I suggest this movie there isn't much on the DVD but the movie is just great by itself anyways.

Summary: Some Kind Of Disappointment !
Review: I love this movie.It is my absolute favorite from 1987-88. It made me a lifelong fan of the wonderful Mary Stuart Masterson and fans of Lea Thompson and Eric Stoltz too. Read the other reviews to see how good this movie is. However, the DVD was not what I hoped. It is wide screen but does not appear to be anamorphic. The color is good but not great, same for the picture and sound quality. However, for a DVD with a list price of $$$$ you expect SOME extras but you get absolutely nothing! No trailer, no deleted scenes, no making of feature, no director commentary no Easter Eggs No NOTHING! ZIP. NADA.This DVD is an improvement over the tape and LD versions I had before but could have been so much more. ... I give the movie five stars but the DVD only two with three stars overall. LW

Summary: THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!! FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!
Review: This movie is the best! This is my favorite movie of all time!!!!
I have watched this movie so many times I have it memorized (sad but true) However, I never get tired of it no matter how many times I watch it! WATZ played by Marie Stuart Masterson is what makes this movie! This is the perfect 80's love triangle movie even better than The Breakfast Club which is another great movie! IF YOU HAVEN'T seen this movie you are missing out!!
FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!

Summary: Greatest '80s movie ever!!
Review: This is one of the best movies of all time and by far the best movie of the '80s. We all went to high school with these people, we all loved or hated them depending on where we stood. It's like going back again without the bad hair cuts and tacky clothes. This is a great little movie about falling in love. And I must add that "the kiss" in this movie is perfection. Eric Stoltz and Mary Stuart Masterson made you feel it... all the way to your toes.

Summary: Pretty in Black Leather
Review: One of my favourite movies ever. A feel good movie with a thumping soundtrack, SKOW has an ending that although a little cheesy has one of the classic ending lines. (watch it to find out!). Mary Stuart Masterson is outstanding (and outstandingly cute in leather and denim!) as the Drum playing Tomboy Watts who has fallen for the artistic non-conforming Keith (Eric Stolz). The storyline is a little predictable (or maybe thats just cos I've seen it too many times) but you just don't care as the film
takes you through all the emotions you remember in your own teenage angst ridden years. A must see for any 'teen' of the late 80's or early 90's.

Summary: good movie!
Review: Some Kind Of Wonderful remains one of my favorite 80s movies. Not quite up there with Pretty In Pink, but nonetheless very entertaining. Eric Stolz is great as the loner Keith and I totally sympathize with Mary Stuart Masterson's Watts. The girl has it bad and she's only seen as a friend. She suffers from the "Ducky" syndrome a la Pretty In Pink. Lea Thompson is also very appealing in this role. Awesome music!! I especially love the song playing during the scene where Keith and Watts "Kiss" in the garage. Can't wait for the dvd! :)

Summary: I just wish it had a better title
Review: "Some Kind Of Wonderful"? The title makes it sound like a light Maeve Binchy novel. The first time I saw this movie on TV I couldn't get over the incredible acting mostly because of the name, because a title means alot in a film. I definetely wasn't expecting this.
