Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A 1987 romantic teen dramedy written by John Hughes and directed by Howard Deutch, Some Kind of Wonderful is the last in Hughes's acclaimed cycle of teen films in The '80s.The protagonist, Keith (Eric Stoltz), is a working-class student, who's in love with popular girl Amanda Jones (Lea Thompson). Meanwhile, his tomboyish best friend, Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson), is in love with him, but Keith doesn't notice that. Keith eventually asks Amanda out, right after she broke up with her jerk of a boyfriend, so, mainly out of spite, she says yes. Watts's jealousy causes conflict between her and Keith, but they reconcile, and Watts chauffeurs Keith to his date. At first, Keith and Amanda hit it off, but Keith realizes that he loves Watts. Amanda tells him to go to her, and they get together.The film is similar to Hughes and Deutch's previous collaboration Pretty in Pink, with genders switched and the ending changed. Some Kind of Wonderful had a surprisingly good (but hard-to-find) young-adult novelization that really fleshed out the characters.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

All There in the Manual: According to the first draft of the script and the young-adult novelization, Watts's first name is Susan. Also, her parents are both dead and she lives with two neglectful older brothers. One annoying plot hole is also filled in by the novelization: In the movie, we have no idea why Keith is waiting at a club in the hopes that Amanda will show up. In the book, it's explained that she told him she was a big fan of the band who was playing. | |

Alpha Bitch: Subverted with Amanda; she runs with the rich and popular crowd, and Watts tries to stop Keith from dating her because she thinks Amanda is the Alpha Bitch, but she's actually a very nice girl (and working-class, like Watts and Keith).: | |
