A movie that could have been something wonderful, winds up only kind of.

A simple, lovely and thoughtful teenage story that occasionally shines due to fine characterizations and lucid dialog.

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.

The best of all 80s teen movies.

The cynical view of humanity demonstrated within makes it a fascinating outlier in the writer/producer's canon and the '80s teen film generally.

Assembly-line feature from the John Hughes teen factory.

This 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.

Typical '80s teen movie is still relevant today.

...another authentic look at teenaged life from Hughes.

Lighter and less filling than usual.

An amazingly mature young actress, Masterson skillfully brings subtlety, depth, and nuance to her character.
