Best Movie!

Not much to say about this classic! I was born in 1979, so I definitely had a little crush on John Cusack. This movie was what I thought my great love story would be. Not so much...lol. This is a great movie and you have probably seen it. If not, watch it immediately!!

An ok movie, not great.

Things like movies have their icon-like symbols, like John Cusack holding his boom box up over his head, playing it for his girl in a building. I hate to say it, but I think that's the main reason I bought this dvd. That, and I'm just a Cusack fan.

80’s nostalgia at its finest

One of the reasons we Gen X women probably have unrealistic relationship expectations would be this movie and others like it… But it’s STILL one of my favorites! Who can forget the boombox scene?

A Must See!

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2013

If you haven't watched this movie at least once in your life, you're not living it right! I've worn my dvd out and it never gets old. The 80's child in me just loves it and recognizes its perfection. The leads are a little ruff around the edges, acting wise, but it only adds to the chemistry between the characters. Cusack and Skye just suck you in and you can't turn away. The plot is simple, but relatable. It's not rocket science, but the characters circumstances are so familiar (even all these years later) and that makes the movie work. I love the music and love the way the scenes are played.

Lloyd Dober is such a simple character, but he has so much heart. That's the first thing you notice about him. He's fun and he does his own thing. He's confident, but still vulnerable in a lot of ways. This vulnerabilty is highlighted when he falls for Diane. He's genuine and he knows what his strengths and weaknesses are. Therefore, he knows that he and Diane are from two different worlds and those worlds don't exactly mesh. Still, he goes after what he wants. He's not afraid despite the challenges and I loved that.

Diane is smart, shy, and a planner. It took me a while to warm up to the character, but I did. It was interesting to see her fall for Dober because you could tell her plan was just to do something that she felt like doing without planning ahead, for once. It was nice to see it become more than that for her. I also enjoyed the story with her and her father. It was very calm, but punctuated.

I could go on and on about this move, but just purchase it. You won't be disappointed!

I hope I'm never too old

My wife and I saw this film when it was first released. We saw it once. That was enough to make me want it on DVD. While the details were hazy for my wife (I think that's a gift sometimes since after a while things still seem new to her) I remembered almost everything about the film, it's story and characters, after all these years. John Cusack and Joan Cusack as acting brother and sister was a nice touch. Ione Skye as Diane had such a warmth and sincerity as she tried to mix with Loyd and his world while drawing him into hers that you knew these two had to be a match from the start. John has had an arresting every man quality in his film career. As Loyd, despite the age and difference in experiences, I saw a kindered spirit (I know, why bother with this overused "revelation", but this really was odd, because everybody wants to relate to characters they like but in this case I had no choice). I started my adult life a lot like Loyd was starting his, albeit 10 years before the film. Art imitating life became a real concept. Needless to say that was quite a hook. Sorry for the digression into my life. Anyway take those similarities (pathetic as that may come off) and couple that with insights about young adults which are really timeless and acting that never feels like acting, and this resulting film had me. I can't help but think that every generation needs a story like this one. Timeless as it is at it's heart, people too often need something that is easy for them to relate to. Window dressing is all it takes to draw in the crowd to get the same truths. Cameron Crowe has delivered a teen film that is not a teen film. I hope the young audience today will find this as easy to watch as I did with 10 years out but still related to this story.I like the extras. They don't add anything to the story but they are fun to see. I'm particularly surprised to hear the music that was used in the Boom Box scene outtakes. It was good music but it seemed out of place with the scene. I'm glad they went with the one used in the film.

John Cusack does it again

John was never a A List star, but he always seemed to come out with a solid hit From the cult classic "Better Off Dead" to "Gross Point Blank" to "Say Anything".and the list goes on. Say Anything is of course a diamond in rhe rough and well worth the time and money.

Very Decent Coming of Age Drama

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a good film. A solid drama dealing with coming of age and romance in a very real way. But even though it is sometimes listed as comedy, I would most definitely not describe it as such and anybody expecting a frothy romcom will likely be disappointed.

The story is that of the girl Diane (Ione Skye), a top of the class student, daughter of divorced parents and living with her father (John Mahoney, best known as Frasier's dad Martin) who runs a nursing home. He wants the very best for his daughter and spoils her accordingly. He is also overly protective and objects to her friendship with the decent but unambitious boy Derek (John Cusack) whom he deems not good enough for her. However, not everybody is all they seem to be and Diane's perfect world starts crumbling as she finds out what is really important in life.

The characters all feel refreshingly real. Some are likable - others not so much. The acting is solid. And while I personally never saw the attraction of John Cusack as romantic lead, I will put that down to personal taste and will be quick to add that his performance here is excellent and that he is very well cast. Ione Skye works well as the female lead, I enjoyed seeing John Mahoney, and as I have already mentioned 'Frasier' (which I can't help being reminded of whenever I see him) it may be worth mentioning that Bebe Neuwirth (Lilith from Frasier) also appears in a small supporting role.

Good film and though it is by now thirty years old and some aspects are distinctly dated (first and foremost the fashion), much of the story is as relevant today as it was in the late 1980s. Definitely a film I can recommend.

Sweet, intelligent and sincere

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2019

I really liked this film for its patient set up, its sweet yet mature characters, some really nice, natural performances. The film is well edited, well directed and is nicely shot. The colours are nice and natural I really like the suburban setting. Unlike most teen films these days this isn't a comedy, I struggle to think of any jokes at all actually. By the time this was released the 1980s were drawing to a close. The colours are more pastel and creamy, we don't get the bright eye popping neon yellows, reds and pink people associate with that decade, this came out in 1989.

I really recommend giving this film a go, the cast is small, the story is simple with a few genuine surprises. There's no one dimensional antagonist either, the conflict feels honest and real, not serviceable to the plot. The Peter Gabriel scene has become iconic.

The Blu Ray I think is worth the upgrade, the high definition transfer reveals close levels of detail on furniture and clothing fabrics. The colours look solid and natural, skin tones look natural too, the picture is sharp and contrast is strong.

I bought the DVD for my daughter's birthday in August as she mentioned it when she was feeling 90s nostalgic! I remember the film when it was originally released though. Wonderful story and music and with the fine John Cusack starring.
