Say Anything...
Directed by Cameron Crowe
Average student and eternal optimist Lloyd Dobler seeks to capture the heart of Diane Court, a beautiful but unattainable valedictorian classmate. He surprises just about everyone - including himself - when she returns the sentiment. However, Diane's divorced, over-protective father soon begins to disapprove of the match, and Lloyd realises that it's going to take more than just the power of love to conquer all. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →I saw the trailer for Say Anything at the movies when it was released, and thought it looked like it would be a great movie. I finally watched it last night, and loved it. Didn't know that Frasier's dad was in it, and enjoyed seeing the Cusack siblings together.
positive · AI labelView post →I think the film Say Anything is this trope. It is one of my favorite romance films. I'm still looking for recommendations #romance #booksky #romancelandia

neutral · AI labelView post →If you count by general release date, then my actual favorite film qualifies: both leads are 2° of Bacon, no E’s in Casablanca or waters in the desert. But there was a stunt premiere in 1942, so my backup is Say Anything, 1989, both leads 2° of Bacon.
neutral · AI labelView post →That is such a cute movie. It's a perfect 80's film #SayAnything #SundayFunnies
positive · AI labelView post →I think I saw it once. In the 80s. It was definitely NOT a generation defining movie. Fast Times, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller, Say Anything, Boyz in the Hood, even "Better Off Dead" was more of a generation defining movie than "Goonies."
negative · AI labelView post →I always forget how much of a sweet, wholesome romp "Say Anything..." is. I put this movie on expecting to rip on it and just smiled the whole time instead.
positive · AI labelView post →If you have never watched the movie “Cocktail” give it a watch. Like “Say Anything” (and “Valley Girl” and, I’m told, “About Last Night” and so many others from that era), it held up a vision of courting that sent men of that era down a real fucking dumb path.

neutral · AI labelView post →They peaked imo with “a girl like you,” which would have been the love theme from Say Anything (the title appears throughout) if Cameron Crowe hadn’t decided he was making a treasured cult favorite rather than a movie where the teen stars sing into the mic with the band on mtv.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw this movie. It was called "Say Anything."
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe it's just me and I'm off, but I thought there were enough breadcrumbs left by Fielder in You Can Say Anything to realize this: Holmes knowingly allowed her children to be filmed behind prison bars after Fielder explicitly told her she had a financial interest in the success of the film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Say Anything...: I've never believed a single character or situation in a Cameron Crowe movie; the streak remains unbroken. John Cusack is excellent as a contrived character I don't believe. Ione Skye charms as a contrived character I don't believe. John Mahoney... etc. #FilmSky Verdict: This sucks.
negative · AI labelView post →Correct me if I’m wrong, but this conversation about the boombox scene in “Say Anything” seems ridiculous. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen the movie but if memory serves her father was trying to control her love for him and Cusack’s character...

Diane has a scholarship to a prestigious college in England and her Dad, played by John Mahoney, doesn't want some aimless kickboxer getting in the way of her success. Joan Cusack fittingly plays Lloyd’s sister while the alluring Bebe Neuwirth shows up for a cameo as his teacher.…
