I never understood why John Hughes thought it was a good idea to remake Pretty in Pink (1986). Maybe he was just running out of ideas for high school comedies and was afraid to movie on to writing comedies about adults. Given his track record there, I can understand that fear.
Whatever the reason, about a year after Pretty in Pink, out came SomeKind of Wonderful. Both Eric Stoltz and Lea Thompson are far too stiff in this movie. Mary Stuart Masterson is the only saving grace. She out Duckied Ducky. But then again, Jon Cryer is exactly the world's greatest actor.
As for the plot see Pretty in Pink and just switch the genders. This movie is just OK . I wouldn't work too hard to see it.
