A youthful love triangle in a delightful comedy.

If I didn't know better, I would have thought that this was one of John Hugh's early works. I get that it is an 80's teen movie and that the "teens" look like they are 30 (because they are) and talk like they are 40. That is expected. The movie was just so disjointed. It was like he took the script for Sixteen Candles and just shuffled around some of the characters. Unfortunately Mary Stuart Masterson is no Molly Ringwald, but then again she had so very little to work with (all she did was pout and cry during the second half of the movie). And the ending... we were supposed to believe that the dramatic finish was earned? follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

A good watch with a sound cast. I definitely need to watch more 80's movies, i'm missing out on some good ones.

Last of the John Hughes teen movies, and it's pretty clear that he'd already said everything he had to say. Thematically similar to Pretty in Pink, Hughes's preceding collaboration with director Howard Deutch, Wonderful isn't half as charming in either script or performance. It's More

It must be a drag to be a slave to the male sex drive.

Keith Nelson, much to everyone else's surprise, lands a date with Amanda Jones, the most popular girl in school. But with Amanda comes trouble in the form of the ex-boyfriend, Hardy Jenns. A rich spoilt egotistical bully, Jenns plans to get b More

**An adorable, cute and melodramatic teen romance.**

The film begins with a teenager who stands out for his artistic ability – he draws well and also paints – and his love of automobile mechanics. He is not rich and is jealous of his wealthier schoolmates. Is it a problem of lack of self-este More
