Some Kind Of Wonderful Ost Rarity
For starters, I have to say I love all these actors. But this is a terrible mess. So bad that it should be taught in film schools as an example of what not to do. Every few minutes the actors begin to save it, and then either the direction or the script lets them down.
At various points in the 'action' the comedy completely rests on sight gags that may have been fresh in the silent era. Brosnan, one of my favorite actors - (if you haven't seen Matador, watch it now) tries very hard to sustain his role as the romantic spindle around which Salma Hayek and Jessica Alba revolve, but the plot is so interrupted, the motivations so compromised and the reality of the situation so ignored, that even he fails. The only thing funny is your own disbelief at how utterly crappy this film is.
We've noticed you're adblocking. We rely on advertising to help fund our award- winning journalism. We urge you to turn off your ad blocker for The Telegraph. Cable network tvN’s fluffy foodie rom-com Let’s Eat* just wrapped this past week, so it seemed like a good time to weigh in on the series as a whole and hear.
Some Kinda Wonderful Song
Worth watching for research in the same sense that the NTSB likes picking through wreckage.
The soundtrack The soundtrack for this movie had a large number of unknown artists for the day, which certainly wasn't the norm for a John Hughes production at that time. Perhaps ahead of it's time, the soundtrack features artists with typically 80's band names such as Flesh for Lulu, and Lick the Tins, and although there is not one hit amongst any of them, this takes nothing away from what is an excellent soundtrack. Each song complements the scene perfectly. From the pulsating opening track, to the night club scene, to the kissing lesson scene, to the climatic party scene, and finally, the beautiful cover of I Can't Help Falling In Love during the closing credits, every song appears to have been chosen with meticulous precision. The soundtrack for is available on CD (initially released in 1987 on Cassette and LP), although to the disappointment of many, does not include all the songs present in the movie.
Soundtrack listing For those wondering what song appears where in this movie, we have detailed the scenes in which a particular song appears, if the song is present on the soundtrack, and the lyrics. Due to the obscurity of some of these artists and songs, lyrics to some of the songs are impossible to find on major lyric web sites, or karaoke disks. Therefore we've had to transcribe a large number of them ourselves.

Original musical scores The original scores by Stephen Hague and John Musser do not feature on the soundtrack (or anywhere else for that matter). Because of this, we have converted the two most requested scores to downloadable MP3's. As we don't actually know the titles of these scores, we have simply named them by the DVD chapter they appear in. Variations of the 'Private Showing' score feature quite heavily in the movie, and are used in almost all scenes requiring emotional music. These include the locker room scene where Watts compares herself to Amanda, the Friday night scene where Watts sees Keith asking Amanda out, the end of the scene in Watts' bedroom, the scene at the Hollywood Bowl, and the scene after the party where Amanda gives back the earrings.
