Just revised the movie and the movie is just as beautiful as it was in the 80's, also nice to see the very young cast commenting that Mary Stuart Masterson is 1000 times more attractive than Lea Thompson.
The recently deceased writer
John Hughes had a lot of such films that were really wonderful to watch.

Good romcom, although the chemistry between Stoltz and Masterson couldn't convince me all along the line. Of course "Miss Amanda Jones" by the Rolling Stones could not be missed. Undoubtedly an inspiration for Hughes script. Furthermore, a reasonable standard film of which a lot already exist, but with better-than-expected actors who pull it all up to a level. There are also some delightful dialogues. No one looked at the experience of childhood with such affection and fondness as Hughes did. No beers with this movie, a super sweet lollipop...

Surprisingly good film with a, in my eyes, delightful Lea Thompson who carries the film and Eric Stoltz who also does a great job. Even wiped away a tear towards the end because I do like films in which the underdog gets the upper hand. Actually, I enjoyed this movie more than Footloose which I found much more superficial. 4 stars
