The greatest movie ever made..!

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

College freshman Gib decides to go cross country to visit his friend in California during winter break. Waiting there for him is a bikini-clad babe whom his friend assures him is a "sure thing". Allison, a retentive girl at Gib's college has also decided to head out to see her boyfriend during break. Gib and Allison are thrust together on a road trip, and somewhere along the way, they find each others company to be tolerable......A staple of eighties Teen movies, it's your age old story of a guy travelling a long way to sew his oats, but obviously falls in love with the stuffy girl who has rejected him time and time again.The clichés are rife throughout, they hate each other to begin with, they begin to grow on one another, become jealous of each other, and what do you know? The final act features a big party, Hawaiian shirts, your token jock best friend, and the nerdy boyfriend.I wouldn't have it any other way. This was the beginning of Cusack's golden age in cinema, and it goes to show just what a great actor he is. He owns the film, and even though he's your atypical college boy, with an awful motivation for travelling, you can't help but like him.The couple both learn life lessons from each other, they run afoul of a few people, there are some funny scenes, nothing hilarious, but it's just a comfort food sort of film.You just know what's going to happen, it ticks every box in the eighties teen comedy checklist, but you just sit there and let it take you away with its nostalgia.

Just in this period when the rain isn't stopping and you start missing the long promenades over the shore and the delightful time spent with cousins and friends. You just find yourself lost between 4 walls looking around while you have tons of stuff to do, but as always you'd rather do them other time. Between the limitless flawless feelings of stress and inexactitude, I found myself floating in a new passionate adventure; "The sure thing" starred by one of my favorite actors John Cusack, spoiled midday boredom and brought on a wave of new sloppy young love. Once you see the cover with hot girl with silky hair and perfect body you expect the crappy habitual kind of teen college movies with the messing around and the partying the whole time. This movie was a real surprise for me at least a happy one, was my perfect refuge, a young pure love growing with the highway. The relationship was growing gradually between two young people very different that can't bare each other who had to take a ride to California together and were reunited by the hard times they had overcome. What's better than finding out that person despite that apparent shallow spirit can be there for you when an old man hits on you on a moving track. This movie wasn't only a real love story to share, but a friendship that shows up only when we're totally in need of it.

John Cusack stars in The Sure thing. Alright, first things first. The title to it kind of irritated me. Kind of like Love happens. I hate that title, and I don't really like this one either. But the title doesn't matter. Cause this is a very funny film.Though the ending is without a doubt predictable. But isn't every romantic comedy? John Cusack is a fantastic actor. I have always loved him. I have always loved his sister too. They're great actors. Cusack here looks very young, and he is very funny. Like usual, he does a good job.The Sure thing is about a college guy named Walter(Cusack). When his friend tells him about a sexy woman who lives in Calfornia, Walter travels down to get laid. But he ends up carpooling with someone he knows(played by Daphne Zuniga). The two of them hate each other. But eventually, they are thrown out of the car. So the two of them but walk on foot from then on. She is traveling to California to see her boyfriend who is a real dork. Eventually, as you could probably tell, they fall in love.The end of the film is predictable. But that doesn't really matter. It's a lot of fun watching Cusack and Zuniga argue the whole movie. Cusack as I mentioned a lot earlier is a great actor. This is a very funny film. The Sure thing: 4/5

For the first half hour or so this movie comes across as little more than a typically sophomoric and lame comedy about a guy who's looking for action with a girl - and it wasn't even outrageous enough to be truly funny. Gib (John Cusack) has just graduated from high school and gone on to an unnamed Ivy League school. He's frustrated by his lack of success with girls, and by his inability to get the attention of his classmate Alison (Daphne Zuniga.) Then out of the blue he gets invited by an old high school buddy to come to California for Christmas where his buddy will set him up with a "sure thing." To that point there was nothing particularly special about this movie, nothing noteworthy, nothing even especially humorous. But then, the road trip begins, and somehow it all begins to fit together.True - you see the end coming almost from the beginning. Gib and Alison have to end up together. That's the whole point of a movie like this. The question is going to be how they end up together. And that actually became a very enjoyable and at times funny story. It turns out that Alison is also going to California for the holidays to visit her boyfriend, and against their wills they end up having to travel together and through a series of misadventures they fall for each other. In fact, I think one of the truly "sweetest" scenes I've ever come across in a movie is the scene in which Alison and Gib wake up with him holding her in his arms after they innocently shared a bed on the trip. She knows that this is innocent, that nothing happened, and simply enjoys the feeling of being held; he wakes up and immediately starts to assure her that nothing happened, that he hadn't tried anything. In a way that was the central scene of the movie, as their feelings for each other are defined at that moment. In addition to an enjoyable story, I thought this was also notable for a look at some fairly well known performers early in their career. Here, I think especially of Anthony Edwards and Nicolette Sheridan. In all honesty, both were unrecognizable as, respectively, Gib's high school buddy Lance and the "sure thing" Lance has set Gib up with in California. Edwards was quite good in the role, while Sheridan didn't have a lot to do except look hot - and she pulled that off quite well!Overall, this is predictable, it's formulaic, it's altogether unoriginal - and in spite of all that, this movie really does grow on you, in the same way that Gib and Alison grow on each other. The development of their feelings for each other really is fun to watch, and you really do feel a sense of satisfaction as their kiss at the end of the movie signifies that they've arrived at the destination fate intended for them.This is a fun movie to spend some time with. 6/10
