Good start, but then it gets ruined

Don't listen to the negative reviews

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Blistering performances.

Say AnythingThere are few little touches added by the maker that not only connects with the viewers but communicates with them on higher level than any other romantic genre feature usually does. And this is where Cameron Crowe; the writer-director, shines brightly through his brilliant execution skills that speaks volume in each and every frame and paints this cultural phenomena of cinema; especially in its genre, that it is. He redefines the "love" by not exaggerating but taking a smarter approach on keeping it practical and grounded with the help of its pragmatic characters who even though are sometimes cheesy, is certainly immensely lovable. The performance objective is where the wheel gets stuck in here despite of their appreciative effort which is clearly visible by the cast like John Cusack and Ione Skye. It is short on technical aspects like sound department too but is finely edited and beautifully shot which makes it pleasing to watch. The chemistry between the characters and the energy of a scene is transported safely from the paper to the screen and delivers completely to the audience. Say Anything tells an essential heartbreaking tale of an unpredictable and complex relationship that is ironically set back in order to keep it simple and sensible.

Say what you might but this movie did nothing for me. Maybe even was a tad bit boring. I was waiting for that wow moment the whole time but nothing happened. Deeply disappointed.

This movie was referred in a book I was reading - Life in Outer Space by Melissa Keil. I found the movie quite boring, picking up pace only in the last half an hour. Ione Skye (Diana) was amazing - a natural beauty and impressive expressions. John Cusack (Llyod) was average. John Mahoney (Diana's Dad) was good.

After watching a cheesy 80's movie in the beginning of my day, I felt no longer the urge to try and watch another one; I would compensate with just watching "The Breakfast Club" a multitude of times. But looking through my TV guide, I put this movie on and I was quickly hooked. No matter who you ask, it is hard not to fall for humorous and kick-boxing Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack). The best part I think, of all of these 80's movies is that the characters, whether they are cringe-worthy/cheesy or not, all fall for one another--no Twitter, Tinder, etc. Watch this movie, because I promise you will fall in love with it as much as I have.
