She is the class brain, and so of course no one can see that she is truly beautiful - no one except for the sort of weird kid who wants to devote his life to kick-boxing and who likes her because of her brains. He calls her up and asks her out. She says n ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

To me, Say Anything is without a shadow of a doubt the most rewarding, funny, and likable romance of the last twenty years. It heralds the decency of romantic love against the gears of a cold, grinding mechanical world. ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at Film Threat (Brad Laidman)

It all comes down to one scene: John Cusack, standing at dusk, boom box aloft, blaring Peter Gabriel's ''In Your Eyes'' outside Ione Skye's window. This, friends, is what rapturous, heartrending, soul-spinning love is all about. ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at Entertainment Weekly (Staff (Not credited))

The 1980's produced a lot of "teenage sex" movies, most of which are inane and revolting. 1989's Say Anything is a complete surprise. It's intelligent, funny, and full of wisdom. John Cusack plays Lloyd Dobler, who is a teenager with the ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at Media-Assault.com (Sean Caszatt)

First-time director Cameron Crowe ( Singles/Jerry Maguire ) gives his due respect to these teenage characters. That alone is enough to make this a superior film, but it was also superbly scripted and acted. John Mahoney as James Court, plays a role that ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

It's hard to remember a recent love story -- maybe "Moonstruck" -- that's as involving as this one. This is not to suggest that the two movies are in the same league, but this is a teen movie that transcends its teen limitations. ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at Washington Post (Hal Hinson)

Cusack invests such sincerity in his portrayal of Lloyd that it's impossible not to root for him to get the girl. He's the classic underdog that we all think of ourselves as -- earnest, engaging, and impossible to resist because of his flaws, rather than ...read the complete Say Anything... movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Rewatch today what is inevitably going to be one of your favorite movies and see if you don't agree: John Cusack and Ione Skye are one of cinema's biggest loser couples ever. He's into kickboxing.
