Augustine J This is a really fun movie. John Cusack's deadpan sarcastic delivery is great. It's insane that he was only sixteen when filming this. It's not quite as zany as Better Off Dead, it's a more grounded film and it's great. Ya'll should check this one out. You'll like it, it's a sure thing. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Alec B Should be remembered over a lot of other 80s romantic comedies, both for the cast and the sharp screenplay. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Steve D John Cusack's character is so loathsome and self-entitled it is hard to watch. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/23 Full Review Audience Member John Cusack in another one of his earlier hits he co-stars with Daphne Zuniga in this road-trip romance flick by Rob Reiner 'Gib' wants to get laid badly so when an opportunity presents itself to have it with a beautiful blonde across the country he decides to make the journey the thing is though he's stuck on the road with Alison which of course they can't stand each other Alison has a respectable, intellectual boyfriend that's safe and sensible, for Gib though he just wants the experience of being able to please a real woman this blonde in California may be the 'sure thing' for him but how long before Gib and Alison unexpectedly fall for one another? The ending we all know what’s coming but the chemistry of these two is surefire and the film handles the topic of polar opposites coming together in a very mature manner Spontaneity is key to being happy, it’s not always about sticking to a schedule, you don’t always have to feel repressed, the real thing is usually better than the ‘sure thing’ Cusack and Zuniga are so cute together Sometimes all it takes is one goal going towards to recognize the real thing that matters Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review Tonya B One of my favorite Cusak movies. Too bad its not streaming anywhere! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Joan T One of my all time favorite John Cusack movies. The hitchhiking scenes are the most entertaining and I'll never think of the names Nick and Elliott the same again. Love, love, love Tim Robbins and Rob Reiner is the best!
