    I love it when Mary Stuart Masterson kisses with Eric Stoltz, then his feelings for Lea Thompson change for her. It's a great movie.

    another well written john hughes script which resembles pretty in pink with the roles reversed as eric stoltz as molly ringwald and mary stuart masterson as the female "ducky"

    One of my favourite teenage movies, I love it. It has a great soundtrack and a great story, plus Eric Stolz is kind of lovely and I can't get over Craig Sheffer (aka Keith Scott for the One Tree Hill fans out there) with that hair.

    I totally fell for Eric Stolz in this movie around when I was 16 (I think). If you liked Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, you'll like this movie.

    This is probably one of the best teen movies ever made, besides the Breakfast Club. I loved Mary Stuart Masterson in this movie her character was very real. Eric Stoltz was very good in this too. This movie has a great soundtrack, classic 80's.

    Before I saw this movie, I didn't know who "Mary Stuart Masterson" was, after seeing it, I could never forget her! she was utterly amazing in this role as "Watts" the tomboy who had such a crush on "Eric Stoltz" she was willing to stop being "BFF" with him because of it! "Wattz" had some classic unforgettable lines in this movie, she made me love her and it at the same time!!!

    filmin güzel anlari diayloglari olmasina ragmen hatta ortasinda nolcak yav hangisi seccek diye dusunduren, ama filmin sonuna dogru sanki birinin "hey filmin süresi doluyo toparlayin" demesiyle sacmaladigini dusundugum film. pretty in pink e benziyor evet ama ters sonlara sahipler. iki sonu da salakca buldum o ayri.

    Eric Stoltz stars as an affable lad who can't seem to make any headway with women. Unaware of the deep affection hurled in his direction by constant companion Mary Stuart Masterson (who all but steals the show), Stoltz sets his sights high on Lea Thompson. Perceptive, thoughtful viewing.

    I finally saw this movie and enjoyed it. Especially since it ended the way Pretty in Pink should have.

    A sort of Tom Boy who is really in love with her best friend, but he doesn't know it! His true love is right in front of his face--GREAT STUFF!! DVD.

    As opposed to "Pretty in Pink" where the wrong two people end up together, this movie ends perfectly. Always being the best friend and never the love interest, I really sympathize with Watts. Mary Stuart Masterson's desperate longing hidden by her rebel without a care attitude was brilliant.

    Awesome film, great soundtracks, very well played characters and most especially a romantic love story.

    Male version of Pretty In Pink with a bit of a twist, awesome movie, I don't think it got the recognition it deserved.

    Keith (Eric Stoltz) is hot on Amanda. Watts (M.S.M.) (his best friend) even helps Keith out with his conquest of Amanda. But who does Keith fall for in the end?

    This was the first movie in which I saw Mary Stuart Masterson - she is one of my favourite actors.

    OMG! This was one of my favorite movies as a teenager I could soo relate to Mary Stuart Masterson's character...it was a largely forgotten movie, because it came out at the same time as classics like, sixteen candles and breafast club...but it truly is a treasure!

    I watched this with a few of my friends we made fun of it during alot of parts but it was still a pretty good 80's movie. (Alittle bit of Breakfast Club thrown in there)The ending was kind of rushed and stupid but true to what happens in life. Sort of.

    My favourite movie ever, when I watch it I am right back in the greatest era ever, the eighties. Great love story, Eric Stolz plays great. I work at a school and when I play this movie for students who are all around 19 years old they always find it a great movie and girls must cry at the scene where Keith gives Amanda the pearl earrings and the endscene, so it's still a strong movie today. Best 80s movie.

    I'm a fanatic of the 80's, whether in movies or in music, but this film has it all. The sound tracks are all great, you really Go Crazy in this film coz, full of aspirations in life. The ending was absolutely wonderful. Better find a copy of this film.
