| This movie is about an boy whos kinda an outcast and his best friend who is A tomboy.She really likes him but he likes this popular girl.Its kind of bad because they curse A lot but it's more of A teen movie so keep that in mind.Other than that it's A really good movie. |

| Back in 1987,my daughter had seen this movie..& advise me to see it.Well..I wasn't really in "teen" movies..so I went to see it.I loved it.The music in the opening just put you right for the coming story.Producer,John Hughes(from Michigan)was great.
But when the beauitful Mary Stuart Masterson came on the scene..it was nothing short of PURE Lovlyness.From that moment on...she had my heart locked up..& still does.Eric Stoltz was great taking out Lea Thompson..only to really fall for Ms.Masterson.I wish movies could come back again this way. |

| I have made several people completely disgusted with me on the account of watching this movie over and over again. I can never get enough of the style and the perfect cast it just couldnt get any better. I am still stuck in the 80's and movies like this an For Keeps is a big part why. I love this film because it is a tale of what can occur when love takes Over. P.S. Molly ringwald i love you forever and Andrew MCcarthy your a king!!!!! |

| 1987's Some Kind Of Wonderful is a gender-revised version of 1986's Pretty In Pink. Eric Stoltz takes the place of Molly Ringwald and Lea Thompson & Mary Stuart Masterson do the same for Andrew McCarthy & Jon Cryer. Mr. Stoltz plays Keith a loner, artistic type who works at a garage and whose best friend is a tom girl, drummer Watts played by Ms. Masterson. Keith pines after Amanda Jones (Ms. Thompson), one of the most popular girls in school. Amanda dates the spoiled rich boy Hardy Jenns (Craig Sheffer) and after they fight, Keith swoops in and asks Amanda for a date, to which she agrees. Keith finds out that the whole date is just a setup to get him to Jenns' house so he can beat him up, he still continues with the date. He sets an elaborate evening, dinner at a fancy restaurant, art museum after hours and a set of diamond earrings. It turns out that Amanda isn't some spoiled rich girl, but a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who sold herself out for popularity. All the while, Watts is secretly in love with Keith and in the end after a showdown at Jenns' house where he is exposed as a chicken and fraud, Keith realizes his true feelings for Watts and they kiss. The movie is filled with nice performances by the three leads, but it is the supporting players that give the best performances. John Ashton is perfectly gruff and pushing as Keith's dad, Maddie Corman is the classic, annoying younger sister, but Elias Koteas steals the show as Duncan, the school thug who befriends Keith. Mr. Koteas throws out some classic lines. This was the last film John Hughes would write or director in the classic 80's teen angst vein. The soundtrack to the film is excellent, featuring no name bands like Flesh For Lulu, The Licking Tins and Furniture and it captures the essence of the films. |
