Some Kind of Wonderful

Another one of those films that I’ve waited way too long to watch! At its core, it’s nothing you haven’t seen before the main character loves someone and the best friend loves the main character. It’s essentially Pretty in Pink with the genders reversed.

It definitely has a good lesson, & it’s definitely not one you can find in other movies. It goes to show that it’s better to be alone for the right reasons than with someone for the wrong ones. I know it sounds very strange but you’ll understand it better when you see the movie.

finding out that this movie was made because people weren't happy with the ending of pretty in pink makes a lot of sense, i think the friends to lovers trope works a bit better here but im still not crazy about the movie as a whole

It’s a solid coming-of-age romance film. The film focuses less on popularity and more on connection, insecurity, and realizing who truly understands you. In the end it’s about recognizing the value of someone who’s already emotionally present in your life.
