Leave your thoughts about Some Kind of Wonderful.
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeBetter than average teen romantic comedy from the Hughes years. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSome Kind of Wonderful is yet another film in which Hughes and his team show a special ability to make an entertaining movie about teenagers. |
| Chicago ReaderPat GrahamAssembly-line feature from the John Hughes teen factory. |
| Common Sense MediaEllen TwadellTypical '80s teen movie is still relevant today. |
| VarietyVariety StaffA simple, lovely and thoughtful teenage story that occasionally shines due to fine characterizations and lucid dialog. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonThe cynical view of humanity demonstrated within makes it a fascinating outlier in the writer/producer's canon and the '80s teen film generally. |
| Time OutDerek AdamsThis 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. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Emily SearsThat was what John Hughes did best. He used his characters to shatter every preconception teenagers have about those faces they see in the hall. He made icons out of outcasts. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonIt's Masterson who dominates Some Kind of Wonderful. 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. |
| City Pages, Minneapolis/St. PaulEric HendersonPlays attractively like Intro to Anticapitalism 101. |
