What Some Kind of Wonderful is
Ah, the old "boy pines after girl out of his league" scenario. Here, a working-class kid shoots for a prom queen, blind to the affections of his true soulmate. The ensuing love triangle is resolved via some late-1980s sports car action. It's a John Hughes joint without John Hughes.
