Some Kind of Wonderful

Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson) is a young tomboy who has a crush on her best friend, Keith (Eric Stoltz), but her feelings go unrequited as he falls for Amanda (Lea Thompson), a rich girl with snobby friends. Unfortunately for Keith, Amanda's wealthy ex-boyfriend wants her back and is willing to do anything to get her. Will Keith find his way back to his true soul mate?

Before they could stand together, they had to stand alone.
