sadly, it's the much-less-interesting remake of "Pretty in Pink".  This is it, that's the end of the joke...

Yeah, you're right, Mike. That wasn't a very interesting re-do.

I think the story is: their old label wouldn't give John Hughes the rights to use the original. Or else they decided there was more money to be made by doing it again.   On the same sndtk, Hughes wanted Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't it Be Good?" but HIS label wanted an arm & a leg. So it was covered by Danny Hutton of 3DN making one of his myriad attempted comebacks.
