But anyway -- after reading Manohla Dargis' withering take in the NYT, I wanted to see what some other critics thought of it -- so I went over from metacritic to Owen Gleiberman's review in Entertainment Weekly. The review mentioned John Hughes' Some Kind of Wonderful ("always underrated", says Gleiberman):
But then I realized why Gigi and Alex really do seem like characters out of Some Kind of Wonderful. There's nothing to their relationship — nothing at all — but the thin, Hughesian predicament the two happen to be in.I popped over to Netflix to put it in my queue and guess what? Check this out:
There it was, Some Kind of Wonderful, staring right back at me -- I didn't even have to go and search for it.I guess the stars aligned for Netflix today -- if more stuff like this happens, people are going to believe that the folks at Netflix are wizards or something. (Or maybe their algorithm mines our thoughtstreams. Ha.)

Oh I was also hoping for a decently good/fun movie based upon Drew Barrymore's line too :(.
Btw, the review referred to some line from another reviewer that I loved - "The covers of this book are too far apart."
:)
