I'm not a big fan of and do not have a lot of knowledge about romantic films but it seems to me 'Say Anything' is just a mediocre film, nothing special really. I can't really identify with the '80's atmosphere since I'm a 90's ( and '00's) kid but I can see why this film can be nostalgia for some people. This being known as one of the best teen romances of the '80's makes me not want to see the others. It was fine but wasn't rewarding enough, didn't leave enough to ponder on after the credits were rolling. I guess I'm just saying 'Say Anything' didn't meet my requirements, it didn't fulfill any of the criteria of what makes a movie better than average according to me. I expect something special when watching, watching the same formulaic films every time leaves me yearning for more.
'Say Anything' isn't a bad movie, the acting's decent, the on screen chemistry's good, the plot is a little thin but OK. It's a great film for fans of the '80's teen film genre, can bring back a lot of teenage or childhood memories and so it's worth the watch for people who meet the fore-mentioned standards.
I'm a pretty big Cusack fan, have been ever since watching Runaway Jury, and I've been searching for more movies of his. Sadly, this is probably the worst film he's made that I've seen so far. Cusack's the reason I gave this film a 5.5, because everything else makes me want to give this film a 5. Just to clarify, a 5 is a mediocre movie in my book, not a bad one. I've given plenty of critically acclaimed movies 4 or less.
Decent, not good enough.
