  • Starring: Ione Skye, John Cusack
  • Summary: John Cusack plays Lloyd Dobler--an average guy with a penchant for kickboxing. There is only one thing that all-around nice guy Lloyd wants for his high school graduation: a date with beautiful valedictorian Diane Court (Skye). Lloyd's dream comes true when Diane accepts his invitation to a graduation party. Diane falls for Lloyd, whose goal is to spend as much time with her as possible. Their budding romance is put to the test when Diane has to choose between pursuing her academic dreams and spending time with him. John Mahoney is first-rate as Diane's father, a single parent who wants only the best for his brilliant daughter but who harbors a serious secret that the IRS is investigating.

    That such intelligence could be contained in a movie that is simultaneously so funny and so entertaining is some kind of a miracle.

    To me, Say Anything is without a shadow of a doubt the most rewarding, funny, and likable romance of the last twenty years. It heralds the decency of romantic love against the gears of a cold, grinding mechanical world.

    Seldom have such complexity, emotional depth, honesty, and realism been invested in what is ostensibly a teen love story.

    A half-baked love story, full of good intentions but uneven in the telling.

    The best Cameron Crowe movie! And that's saying a lot.

    A skewed love story built on the American class system. Director Cameron Crowe is a marvel.

    Sometimes slow, but with smooth performances by John Cusack and Ione Skye, a great soundtrack and its mark in cultural significance, Say Anything is a great coming-of-age flick from the golden age of teen films. If you haven't seen this movie already, see it.… Expand
