I recently wrote about my favorite rewatches of 2023, movies I hadn’t seen in at last five years. While it doesn’t break my 2023 record of most years between watches (at 44 years, Alligator wins that distinction), I watched Some Kind of Wonderful recently for the first time in 36 years. While I wouldn’t call it a great film, there’s something about it that speaks to me. I found the movie on DVD at a thrift store some time back and about a month ago added it to my “Watch it, then get rid of it” s

Howard Deutch’s return to teen drama after Pretty in Pink shows him again in top form in his sophomore effort. John Hughes also brings his top writing game, providing probably even more memorable dialogue. They were also able to bring their full creative vision of the narrative, unlike in the previous effort, where test audiences’ opinion and studio input changed the script’s ending. However unfair it may be, one can’t help but compare Some Kind of Wonderful and Deutch’s first effort. Fortunately, Some Kind of Wonderful stands on its own with its revised charm.
