It's one of the few John Hughes movies to stand the test of time. You cant judge a book by its cover,' he said. All three of the leads are good fits in their roles, and this was one of the few teen films of the '80s to add genuine depth to its mainstream appeal. Movie Review - Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson) and Keith (Eric Stoltz) have been best friends for ever. All I know is, there are some drums that sound good together and some that dont.

The movie's drama comes from Keith's gradual realization that there's more to love than surface attraction, and Hughes gets extra mileage out of the romantic confusion by allowing Thompson's character to be more than a shallow campus cutie. Watts will even go so far as to chauffeur a date for Keith and Amanda, if only to prove-after a lot of patient, emotional anguish-that she's better for Keith than Amanda could ever be. Mary Stuart Masterson gives a great performance as a tomboy drummer named Watts who's secretly in love with her best friend, Keith (Eric Stoltz), an aspiring artist who is oblivious to her affection because he's got a crush on Amanda (Lea Thompson), the popular high school beauty. This unforgettable romantic comedy has laughs, romance and is truly Some Kind of Wonderful. However, it would come shy to doing half as good at the box office having only grossed a little over 18.5 million.

Directed by Howard Deutch who had previously directed the 80s hit, 'Pretty in Pink,' 'Some Kind of Wonderful' made its premiere on February 27, 1987.

Like The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful treated its teenaged characters like real people with real feelings, hopes, fears, and desire. Keith (Eric Stoltz), Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson) and Amanda (Lea Thompson) prove once and for all that you’ve got to risk a broken heart in order to find your one true love. Revenge is on Hardy's mind and Watts must decide what to do. After dominating the teen-movie genre for the bulk of the 1980s, writer-producer (and sometimes director) John Hughes proved that he had at least one good movie left in him before squandering his talent on lame comedies throughout the 1990s.
