Say Anything is an 80's movie starring John Cusack, Joan Cusack, and John Mahoney (The father on Frasier.) Cusack is the man, he especially was in the 80's and this movie was nothing more then a reminder of that. Amazingly, this was the 1st time I saw this movie despite having seen the shot of Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) holding that boom box over his head outside Diane Court's house.
The gist of the story is a high school setting, and Lloyd Dobler asks valedictorian and untouchable Diane Court out on a date and mysteriously she says yes. Come to find out they are a perfect match even though Dobler's only real desire in life is to kickbox, and hang out with Diane. The odd couple really hit it off, and as you would think they end up together. The great thing about this movie is it's unpredictable, yet happy ending. It has a good story line, and good acting in it. If you like the brat pack movies, such as Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, or Sixteen Candles, give this movie a look and I think you will find it surpasses them all. 4 of 5 stars.
