Say Anything...
Overview
Average student and eternal optimist Lloyd Dobler seeks to capture the heart of Diane Court, a beautiful but unattainable valedictorian classmate. He surprises just about everyone - including himself - when she returns the sentiment. However, Diane's divorced, over-protective father soon begins to disapprove of the match, and Lloyd realises that it's going to take more than just the power of love to conquer all.

At last, a teenage love story with real characters instead of cliches, poses, and attitudes.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fresh
he love story is as old-fashioned as the jokes are old hat, but Crowe's amusing script and unforced direction allow the actors to develop reasonably authentic characters from stereotypical roles.
Derek Adams, Time Out

The film is all charming performances and grace notes, but there are plenty of worse things to be.
Caryn James, New York Times

The cast is irresistibly charming, down to the bit parts by Lili Taylor and Amy Brooks as Lloyd's best friends.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
