I recently re-watched Say Anything. I really identify with the movie because I'm a Generation Xer. Its a wonderful romantic comedy. One of the reasons why the movie is so good is because its plot is non-cliched and the characters are interesting. Siskel and Ebert are spot on here.

seeingsights Absolutely. After seeing John Cusack in his first-ever adult role the year before in the period baseball piece EIGHT MEN OUT (1988), I was surprised to see him go back to a teenaged role in 1989's SAY ANYTHING. I was initially skeptical, although the trailer made the film seem like it would be good. Well, I saw the film and I *loved* it. It was smart, funny, realistic, non-superficial, and had a real story about real people about whom I got to know and cared. 10/10

Another Siskel & Ebert episode, another week of amazing films in the 80’s: Say Anything, Field of Dreams, Dead Calm-heck I even liked She’s Out of Control, when I saw it, of course I was its intended audience, a teenager!! Another thing I always find out when I watch these, is how many bad films were made that I have no recollection of, and I’ve never seen! Proof that really bad movies really do disappear into thin air. Case in point here, Kurt Russell in the prime of his career starred in a film with Kelly McGillis called Winter People??? I’ve NEVER heard of this movie, and it played theaters?? Wow!! Like I said, this happens often watching these old S& E’s in retrospect!!

Entire She’s Out of Control convo was hilarious, and heartwarming. Even though S&E don’t talk in detail about the abhorrent sexual politics of that film, they cover it in a gentlemanly way by their sheer revulsion. Gallant, those two. And a nice moment of them enjoying cracking each other up.
