Details

Womanising, right-wing Dan Hanson and quiet, liberal Lorie Bryer work for the Baltimore Sun. Rivals for the job of new writer of a vacant column, the paper ends up instead printing their very different opinions alongside each other, which leads to a similarly combative local TV show. At the same time their initial indifference to each other looks like it may evolve into something more romantic.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Gideon24 The surprisingly solid on screen chemistry between stars Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth Perkins and an intricate but humorous screenplay are the primary selling points of the 1991 comedy He Said She Said Bacon and Perkins play Dan and Lorie, journalists who first met while working for the same newspaper whose opposing views on just about every subject eventually leads them to getting their own television segment where they offer opposing comments on the issue of the day. However, the story actually opens long after their relationship has become personal when, during a segment of the show, Lorie brains Dan in the head with a coffee mug. The story then flashes back to show the birth of their relationship and what led to the throwing of the mug and just like their professional relationship, we see the relationship from Dan's point of view and then see it from Lorie's and it is the differences in their versions of the personal relationship paralleled with their opposing professional views that make the movie so fun and a lot more entertaining than I expected.Directors Ken Kwapis and Marisa Silver have mounted a solid romantic comedy (which, I suspected, is probably loosely based on their own real life relationship) with the help of Brian Hohlfeld's deft screenplay, that provides equal doses of laughter and warmth and, surprisingly, will not having you taking sides with either of the protagonists. The leads also receive strong support from Nathan Lane as their boss and Sharon Stone as an old girlfriend of Dan's who conveniently comes into his life when things get rough with Lorie. It's not up there with other great contemporary romantic comedies like Sleepless in Seattle or When harry met Sally, but it is entertaining and will have you rooting for these two people to stay together at the end.
chrisfewtrell I didn't realise this film could generate such diverse opinions - ironic, given the tag line. This was a sweet movie, nicely performed by the nearly always underrated, but never disappointing stars, both of whom have enjoyed unspectacular but satisfying (from my point of view) careers. The story was smart and lightly handled - okay, it wasn't quite When Harry met Sally, but neither, thank God, was it You've got mail. Strange that Brian Hohfeld doesn't seem to have many other major writing credits, considering the standard he achieved here, or are my sources out of date? Nice work all round, and Elizabeth Perkins can still effortlessly pluck my heartstrings, even after all these years!
triple8 This is a Typical comedy, that bored me a bit,about love between 2 journalists. one part is told from her point of view and the other from his point of view. It should have been a lot better then it was, I found he said, she said to be OK but a very average comedy, and not all that funny. It isn't awful, there's nothing terrible about it, it's just not as good as one would think a movie such as this would be. The two leads Had very little chemistry together, which may have been part of the problem, they just didn't capture my interest enough to care a lot about what the ultimate outcome would be.I think as a rental this is OK, particularly for couples who have been through some rough times but aside from being a decent date movie, there's not a lot that stood out to me. I'd give it as a whole, about a 5.
goya-4 a movie that deals with a relationship told from both perspectives of the man (Bacon) and the woman (Perkins) with the ex (Stone) thrown inA good premise but it never quite takes off..some funny bits but not that many to recommend it on a scale of one to ten..5
