Reviews

Variety - Unnamed
A simple, lovely and thoughtful teenage story that occasionally shines due to fine characterizations and lucid dialog.

The New York Times - Janet Maslin
It has a light touch, a disarming cast, a well-developed sense of humor and a lot of charm. [27 Feb 1987, p.C17]
75
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
A hand-me-down cast? Far from it. Masterson and Stoltz possess talent and charm to spare... Wonderful aspires to be little more than the hot-and- happening teen flick of the moment. At that it succeeds.

San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
This is kid stuff, but such well acted, well made stuff that inside 15 minutes you're sitting there like a teenager yourself wondering which girl Keith will wind up with. [27 Feb 1987]

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
It is not about whether the hero will get the girl. It is about whether the hero should get the girl, and when was the last time you saw a movie that even knew that could be the question?
