About this movie

A young tomboy, Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson), finds her feelings for her best friend, Keith (Eric Stoltz), run deeper than just friendship when he gets a date with the most popular girl in school, Amanda, (Lea Thompson). Unfortunately, the girl's old boyfriend, Hardy (Craig Scheffer), who is from the rich section of town, is unable to let go of her, and plans to get back at Keith.

Ratings and reviews

This is ultimately my favourite John Hughes film, ironically my 2nd favourite film is Pretty In Pink. I love the character Watts who is played by Mary Stuart Masterson, she inspired me to want to learn to the play the drums, which I read she did learn to play the drums for the role and you can clearly see she plays them pretty well. It is such an incredible feel good movie and John Hughes never fails to disappoint.

Tremendous Movie
