"I am looking for a dare to be great situation."
Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack), underachiever, kickboxer, and recent high school graduate, is smitten with the beautiful valedictorian Diane Court (Ione Skye) but Diane has spent her entire life focused on academics with the goal of winning a fellowship in England. She's neglected the social side of her life. But Lloyd is determined to change that and soon Diane is smitten with Lloyd, too. Their love grows but is complicated by the usual teenage angst and Diane's possessive father (John Mahoney).
Others in the cast include Lili Taylor, Chynna Phillips, Jason Gould, and Jeremy Piven as some of Lloyd's buddies; Richard Portnow and Philip Baker Hall as IRS agents; and Joan Cusack as Lloyd's older sister. Also appearing are Bebe Neuwirth and Eric Stoltz.
Set in Seattle. Includes one of my fav songs, "In Your Eyes," written and performed by Peter Gabriel.
Written and directed by Cameron Crowe.
Run time: 1 hour, 40 minutes
Rated PG-13.
My personal rating: B-
