I wonder what made me want to see Cameron Crowe's first film this week of all weeks? A celebrated "teen" film, which is probably more mature and adult then people might think, I enjoyed this film but didn't see it as the "brilliant" piece that ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")

Synopsis John Cusack had done the 80's adolescent romantic comedy thing to death. In one fashion or another, The Sure Thing, One Crazy Summer, Better Off Dead and Hot Pursuit had some mix of smooching and laughs to them, and Cusack was the main character. ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at UpcomingDiscs.com (Ryan Keefer)

The taglines of this movie really say it all... To know Lloyd Dobler is to love him. Diane Court is about to know Lloyd Dobler. She's got every thing going for her. He's going for her with every thing he's got. This tale of high schoolish ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at eFilmCritic

Avoiding the 80s staple of angsty adolescence, Crowe has constructed an intelligent, witty yet undeniably cute tale, showing the potential that would be realised in Singles and Jerry Maguire, and giving Cusack's warm-hearted Lloyd the perfect foil in ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at Empire (Caroline Westbrook)

If SAY ANYTHING's premise sounds formulaic and unoriginal, that's because it is. The movie doesn't break any new ground, but it's surprisingly effective nevertheless.

Say Anything... (1989) scores a combined 3.00 out of 4 stars for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen) The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen)
With his breathy, antic delivery, pouring out his heart in staccato bursts, Cusack puts a nice loop on the sensitive teen theme. For his is an upbeat, mature brand of sensitivity, the healthy kind that makes fine discriminations, not nasty judgments. ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen)
