Some Kind Of WonderfulSome Kind of Wonderful (Special Collector's Edition)
I thought the movie was good. I think the best part was the party and the Prep got what was coming to him. I have watched it a couple of times since I got it. May 12, 2008
I've always loved this movie!
This is one of thr best teen movies to come out in the 1980's. The characters were well developed and had more than one dimesion. There was good and bad in ALL of the charcters, just like there is in real people. I love how confident Eric is, getting along with Amanda, his best friends, and the toughs he meets. My fave scene in this movie has to be when the tough guys show up to help and the party, and how some of the rich girls liked them. It ended the way I wish it would, although I wonder if the money on those diamonds could have been put to better use, his girl would have loved him anyways. If you haven't seen it, check it out cause it's not a cheesy bubble gum movie. I still love it as an adult. May 4, 2008
Diamonds are a tomboy's best friend
This wasn't my favorite 80s movie at first but after seeing it for the 50th time, it kind of grew on me. You start to relate to Amanda Jones and feel sorry for her. Gosh, all the popular girls in this movie remind me of chicks I went to school with. Gag me with a spoon! May 2, 2008
The adult film that isn't really an adult film!
SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL is an adult film because it is now 21 years old. It was theatrically released 21 years ago today,as a matter of fact. And is not an adult film because it is not pornographic(this may make you chuckle). Anyway,director John Hughes(PLANES TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES,SHE'S HAVING A BABY,CURLY SUE,HOME ALONE 1 & 2),worked with a talented cast featuring Eric Stoltz(MASK),Lea Thompson(HOWARD THE DUCK),Mary Stuart Masterson(FUNNY ABOUT LOVE,FRIED GREEN TOMATOES) and John Ashton(BEVERLY HILLS COP 1 & 2,MIDNIGHT RUN,LITTLE BIG LEAGUE). Thompson and MSM are respectively,Stoltz's love interests. Interestingly,MSM plays drums in the film. Ashton is Keith's(Stoltz) father Cliff,a service station attendant. This film,like many others,features a great pop music soundtrack. Subsequently,Ashton had cameos in SHAB and CS. February 27, 2008
"Wonderful" Movie
I believe this is the real 80s classic, with all the turmoil and angst of teeny-boppers, but with a touch of reality and a high dose of sweetness. This flick is a most-see for teenagers of all ages, because it really goes beyond the 80s brat-pack attitude to include the feelings of an era with its own style and beliefs about love.
