Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)

Synopsis: Watts, a high school girl with boyish manners, is secretly in love with her best friend and classmate Keith, who works as a mechanic and likes to paint. He only has eyes for fellow student Amanda, who's been having some quarrels with her unfaithful boyfriend, an arrogant upper class student named Hardy.
Appraisal: I enjoyed the first hour of this film, but from then on it got silly, offering poor resolution for the conflicts it had set up in the first part. The performances are convincing, and the dialogue is well written.
Rating: 54
