If you loved Lucas, try Some Kind of Wonderful
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lucas, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
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.
