Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Wordiezett So much average

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Irishchatter I have to say, this was a stupid funny film that ever was out in the 80s. John Cusacks character is like such an annoying brat that you definitely wouldn't want to be his classmate at all lol. Whereas Daphne Zuniga is like your typical girl who's fed up with life and of course, peed off with him but still cares about him. Yknow after watching the movie, I couldn't believe Cusack was 17 that time and Zuniga was the princess in Space Balls! That's mad like you wouldn't think these actors in this underrated film would turn out to be big than you actually think!It's a good movie, although I think the girls parents who kicked them both out of the car, shouldn't have been bothered being added onto this movie. It was too short of a role for Robbins and Persky's role as the parents as it seems they were rather neglectful here or was that the idea of the story? That's just the only complaint I have with this film!Anyways I'm glad Cusacks and Zunigas characters lived happily ever after! 8/10

cartoonheart45 Just in this period when the rain isn't stopping and you start missing the long promenades over the shore and the delightful time spent with cousins and friends. You just find yourself lost between 4 walls looking around while you have tons of stuff to do, but as always you'd rather do them other time. Between the limitless flawless feelings of stress and inexactitude, I found myself floating in a new passionate adventure; "The sure thing" starred by one of my favorite actors John Cusack, spoiled midday boredom and brought on a wave of new sloppy young love. Once you see the cover with hot girl with silky hair and perfect body you expect the crappy habitual kind of teen college movies with the messing around and the partying the whole time. This movie was a real surprise for me at least a happy one, was my perfect refuge, a young pure love growing with the highway. The relationship was growing gradually between two young people very different that can't bare each other who had to take a ride to California together and were reunited by the hard times they had overcome. What's better than finding out that person despite that apparent shallow spirit can be there for you when an old man hits on you on a moving track. This movie wasn't only a real love story to share, but a friendship that shows up only when we're totally in need of it.

sddavis63 For the first half hour or so this movie comes across as little more than a typically sophomoric and lame comedy about a guy who's looking for action with a girl - and it wasn't even outrageous enough to be truly funny. Gib (John Cusack) has just graduated from high school and gone on to an unnamed Ivy League school. He's frustrated by his lack of success with girls, and by his inability to get the attention of his classmate Alison (Daphne Zuniga.) Then out of the blue he gets invited by an old high school buddy to come to California for Christmas where his buddy will set him up with a "sure thing." To that point there was nothing particularly special about this movie, nothing noteworthy, nothing even especially humorous. But then, the road trip begins, and somehow it all begins to fit together.True - you see the end coming almost from the beginning. Gib and Alison have to end up together. That's the whole point of a movie like this. The question is going to be how they end up together. And that actually became a very enjoyable and at times funny story. It turns out that Alison is also going to California for the holidays to visit her boyfriend, and against their wills they end up having to travel together and through a series of misadventures they fall for each other. In fact, I think one of the truly "sweetest" scenes I've ever come across in a movie is the scene in which Alison and Gib wake up with him holding her in his arms after they innocently shared a bed on the trip. She knows that this is innocent, that nothing happened, and simply enjoys the feeling of being held; he wakes up and immediately starts to assure her that nothing happened, that he hadn't tried anything. In a way that was the central scene of the movie, as their feelings for each other are defined at that moment. In addition to an enjoyable story, I thought this was also notable for a look at some fairly well known performers early in their career. Here, I think especially of Anthony Edwards and Nicolette Sheridan. In all honesty, both were unrecognizable as, respectively, Gib's high school buddy Lance and the "sure thing" Lance has set Gib up with in California. Edwards was quite good in the role, while Sheridan didn't have a lot to do except look hot - and she pulled that off quite well!Overall, this is predictable, it's formulaic, it's altogether unoriginal - and in spite of all that, this movie really does grow on you, in the same way that Gib and Alison grow on each other. The development of their feelings for each other really is fun to watch, and you really do feel a sense of satisfaction as their kiss at the end of the movie signifies that they've arrived at the destination fate intended for them.This is a fun movie to spend some time with. 6/10

Amy Adler Walter "Gib" Gibson is a freshman at a worthy east coast college. An aspiring writer, he nevertheless is doing poorly in English because his spelling is suspect and his neatness is non-existent. Since there is a beautiful young lady in his class, Gib gets a great idea. Wby not ask Alison (Daphne Zuniga) to be his English tutor and try to get close to her? Although he has to dive into a pool to get her attention, he succeeds in arranging a tutoring session. Yet, after a nice first meeting, Gib puts the moves on Alison and she walks away angry. Christmas break is approaching and Gib suddenly hears from a close friend (Anthony Edwards). If Gib can travel to the west coast, his pal will set him up with a woman who will be a "sure thing", that is, she'll definitely sleep with him. But, upon arranging a ride from a note on a bulletin board, Gib learns that Alison will also be traveling in the same car, to see her devoted boyfriend in Los Angeles. Will it be the ride from hell? Or, will Alison warm up to Gib? This is a sure thing as far as comedy movies are concerned. It is funny, original and clever. Although it was one of Cusack's first major roles, it remains one of his best, nicely showing off his abundant charm, good looks, and acid wit. Zuniga, likewise, proves herself to one beautiful funny girl. The rest of the cast, including Edwards, Tim Robbins, and Nicolette Sheridan are terrific, too. As for the costumes, settings, and usual production values, they are quite nice, also. If you think this is a film for teenagers only, think again. This film was made for young and old alike, as everyone can appreciate and remember their first awkward steps into the world of love. If you need a surefire winner on your next trip to the video store, this one is a great choice. It will have you laughing up the proverbial storm, even as it delights you with its sweet tale of romance, too.
