Alejandro E @Alex970 6d Although it’s a romantic comedy, it feels like a fresh take, thanks to the simple premise of how to win someone over and then win them back. The scene where he serenades her with a Peter Gabriel song is a classic – it really hits the spot.

This was another tick off our Best of the 1980s and 90s film festival, recently featuring "St. Elmo’s Fire" and several John Hughes entries, and perhaps the most effortlessly rewatchable entry yet. The nostalgia hit hard; this came out my sophomore year of college, and watching those post-graduation house party scenes felt like remembrances from another time, including the many soirees I hosted on Sands Avenue. How did we survive? A pleasant surprise in the film: the iconic Lloyd and the boombox moment with "In Your Eyes" blaring at Diane doesn't actually seal the deal immediately. He still has to earn it, but he does, and off they go to a new life in London. Fun nostalgia!

My teenage daughter and I watched this and found we were cringing throughout. She won’t be letting me choose a movie again anytime soon. See more Neil M @RT31501163 Apr 28 I watched this almost by accident, my wife had put it on and I started half paying attention until it drew me in, I might have to watch it again! The wonderful thing about this film is that every single character is likeable. Their lives are complicated and messy, but (arguably) nobody does anything out of pure malice or selfishness. There are so many moments where you think someone might do something horrible, just to move the story along or create dramatic tension, but it always pleasantly upends your expectations. The characters act in ways that feel realistic and understandable. It kind of restores your faith in humanity, rather than ruining it, like so many movies do. All the performances are great, the two leads in particular. Absolutely loved it. See more Read all reviews
