Some Kind of Wonderful
Things seem to be going at a very different juncture for that girl called Nelson, a high school student. Nelson Nelson to take Amanda Jones's date that is inaccessible. Perhaps it will be very difficult, as Amanda, a former rich city section, is unable at that moment to abandon her and perhaps there will be a new plan to return to Keith.

...another authentic look at teenaged life from Hughes.
January 01, 2000
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.

The film creates a perfect embodiment of every adolescent's nightmare.

An amazingly mature young actress, Masterson skillfully brings subtlety, depth, and nuance to her character.

A movie that could have been something wonderful, winds up only kind of.

Typical '80s teen movie is still relevant today.
July 24, 2007
A simple, lovely and thoughtful teenage story that occasionally shines due to fine characterizations and lucid dialog.
July 30, 2008
The best of all 80s teen movies.

This time it ends with the underdogs together. Oddly enough, it's this conclusion that feels phony, seeing as Stoltz has spent the last 80 minutes arranging his dream date with Lea.

Lighter and less filling than usual.

Assembly-line feature from the John Hughes teen factory.

The cynical view of humanity demonstrated within makes it a fascinating outlier in the writer/producer's canon and the '80s teen film generally.
