Say Anything - Special Edition


John Cusack plays Lloyd Dobler, an average guy with a penchant for kickboxing, in Cameron Crowe's first film. There is only one thing that all-around nice guy Lloyd wants for his high school graduation: a date with beautiful valedictorian Diane Court (Ione Skye). Lloyd's dream comes true when Diane accepts his invitation to a graduation party. Diane falls for Lloyd, whose goal is to spend as much time with her as possible. Their budding romance is put to the test when Diane has to choose between pursuing her academic dreams and spending time with him. John Mahoney is first-rate as Diane's father, a single parent who wants only the best for his brilliant daughter. This film deals with the trials and tribulations of being a teenager, and it portray teenagers as real people rather than caricatures. Also starring Lili Taylor and Joan Cusack.
