Mediocre movie that has some potential but waisted it. No character was developed, no relationship properly established and sudden changes of thought without any sensible context. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen but I wouldn't recommend it.

Not perfect (think Sixteen Candles or Breakfast Club) but still, a wonderful classic 80s film with a sweet soundtrack from lesser known Alternative/New Wave acts of the time.

The film itself has a warning story about a misfit who finds his way. Anyone who's ever been an outsider will relate, but what puts it over the edge is an outstanding series of performances. Eric Stoltz, Lea Thompson and Mary Stuart Masterson deliver great scenes. The ending, Amanda's time with Keith, and Watts' interactions with Keith make up some of the best scenes I have ever seen.
