Where to Watch Say Anything
- CravanThePugilistFebruary 20, 2026I don't know what this movie meant to me. I think I saw it too late. But I still look at it as an icon of 80's culture. The casting of Joan as John's sister was absolutely brilliant. The "meme" scene didn't hold the weight I thought it would... but the back & forth between the leads was pretty great.
- gmrxboxOctober 21, 2024Until a few years ago, I only knew this movie as the one where John Cusack puts a boombox over his head, iconically. But I gotta say, while this is a fine 80s teen romance movie, it absolutely excels as a father-daughter movie. Their relationship is the core conflict of this film, and it is what truly makes it memorable in my opinion. Go in expecting some good songs and lots of heart, and I think you'll come out surprised how much this movie affects you. I know I was. PS. John Cusack is a boss. Check out Grosse Pointe Blank as well if you want some more Cus-acktion.
