Feel good 80s vibe with mopy characters

An enjoyable John Hughes film. Perfect friends to lovers story. Very sweet ending.

My mothers favorit romance movie- for a reason.

I can’t remember this at all. Nevertheless, it appears I liked it.

Excellent story. Basically Pretty In Pink with a better ending. I love this movie.

A superior gender flipped Pretty in Pink with a classic '80's soundtrack and tons of heart.

A movie for the people who didn’t like the ending of pretty in pink. Showing that the ending to pretty in pink is the right one

Top 5 80s teen movies. Strong writing, nice performances (especially Stoltz & Masterson) and that kiss...well, it's iconic for a reason.

Very good teen rom-com. Great development of characters.

80s teen romance. Masterson is great in this. Strong performances in this John Hughes written movie.
