A staple of eighties Teen movies, it’s your age old story of a guy travelling a long way to sew his oats, but obviously falls in love with the stuffy girl who has rejected him time and time again.
The clichés are rife throughout, they hate each other to begin with, they begin to grow on one another, become jealous of each other, and what do you know? The final act features a big party, Hawaiian shirts, your token jock best friend, and the nerdy boyfriend.
I wouldn’t have it any other way. This was the beginning of Cusack’s golden age in cinema, and it goes to show just what a great actor he is. He owns the film, and even though he’s your atypical college boy, with an awful motivation for travelling, you can’t help but like him.
The couple both learn life lessons from each other, they run afoul of a few people, there are some funny scenes, nothing hilarious, but it’s just a comfort food sort of film.
You just know what’s going to happen, it ticks every box in the eighties teen comedy checklist, but you just sit there and let it take you away with its nostalgia.
