'Say Anything' - To know Lloyd Dobler is to love him. Diane Court is about to know Lloyd Dobler A quintessential 80's teen comedy, with two things that make it stand out from the crowd; Cameron Crowe's intelligent and warm emotionally developed script and the sheer charisma and likability of John Cusack as Lloyd Dobler.
It follows Lloyd as he romances Diane over the last summer after school, only Lloyd is directionless and Diane is setting her sights high. Meanwhile Diane's dad finds himself desperately trying to hide his crippling financial situation from his daughter.
Filled with wit and warmth 'Say Anything' is pretty much the teenage rom-com perfected equally charming all ages and not reliant on the crass humour and single note characterisations of many of it's like in the genre. It even has the smarts to avoid a neat , bow-tied ending. You can pick it up these days for a fiver, so it's heartily recommended, nay, endorsed!
