  Another film that shows you that 1985 was the best year of the 80s. This movie shows you how John Cusacks character, Gib grows up, and decides that why hook up with a sure thing when the real thing was there all along. This movie is an 80s classic! I would also recommend this movie to… More
  Another film that shows you that 1985 was the best year of the 80s. This movie shows you how John Cusacks character, Gib grows up, and decides that why hook up with a sure thing when the real thing was there all along. This movie is an 80s classic! I would also recommend this movie to people who want to laugh as well. :) It's a classic movie! :) I love it :) :) :) :) :) :)

  Mamma mia John Cusack was so hot in this movie! The dialogue was really snappy and I like how the ending was resolved only at the very, very last minute - screwballian, in a way. Rob Reiner was definitely in his prime in the 80s.

  A fantastic drama/comedy about true love and life. It has a good cast, and a great story. I love it.

  CAST: John Cusack, Daphne Zuniga, Anthony Edwards, Tim Robins, Nicollette Sheridan, Boyd Gaines DIRECTED BY: Rob Reiner SUMMARY: A college student plans a cross-country trip to get laid, but ends up traveling with a young woman. She can't stand him, and he just wants to get to L.A., where a sexy "sure thing" is waiting to greet him with open arms. MY THOUGHTS: I really love the 80's movie's. Especially the ones with John Cusack. He has been my favorite for a long time and still is. This movie is like clean version of our todays American Pie, and films like those. The story isn't nothing new. It's been done many times. Girl and boy hate each other, but secretly love each other. Girl is stuck up, boy is fun and carefree. Opposites attrack. So the ending is obvious, but it's the ride you take to the ending that makes this movie great. It's completely character driven and the actor's make the character's feel real and honest. Great movie and well worth the watch.

  Hilarious and one of my favorite John Cusack movies. It's a great teen comedy. The humor is really mature and the plot is above what you might expect. The characters are very real, but also entertaining and charismatic. I think that even though it does have some cliches, they're done in a way so it doesn't feel like they are trying to claim it's original.

  Cusack doing what he does best. Some very good jokes and a must-see teen flick.

  I've never been a romcom fan, except for the ones with John Cusack. He can be a sap in love and it not seem hokey. This is an early one, but one of the best. Two total opposites in more ways then gender go on a road trip from the Northeast to California over college Christmas… More
  I've never been a romcom fan, except for the ones with John Cusack. He can be a sap in love and it not seem hokey. This is an early one, but one of the best. Two total opposites in more ways then gender go on a road trip from the Northeast to California over college Christmas break. Been done before, but rarely this well.

  I don't "get" a lot of the more popular 80s comedys, but I've always had a soft spot for this one. The ever likeable John Cusack is one reason, the fact it was directed by Rob Reiner straight after Spinal Tap is probably the other!

  Knowing high-school comedy. Cusack is excellent and illustrates great promise, and Tim Robbins gives neat support ("My name's Gary Cooper. Not the dead one, of course!"). Most of the plot revolves around Cusack's inability to grow up, but he's so good in this… More
  Knowing high-school comedy. Cusack is excellent and illustrates great promise, and Tim Robbins gives neat support ("My name's Gary Cooper. Not the dead one, of course!"). Most of the plot revolves around Cusack's inability to grow up, but he's so good in this film you hardly want him to! It does suffer from a hyper-ubrupt ending, though.

  Very likeable, and very decent 80's coming-of-age teen love story...with no baked apple goods.

  John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga play total opposites who must stay together for a road trip on their way to California for her to reunite with her boyfriend and him to meet a "sure thing". Do you think they will eventually realize they're better off with each other?!?!?!?!?!?!? The Sure Thing offers nothing new in terms of surprises or an original idea, basically being a youtful retelling of It Happened One Night, but it makes up for with Cusack's charming performance and funny moments throughout.

  Since Peachy Leetz is getting the Sex Drive movie, I think I will get this baby on Netflix since it is basically a remake with a more revealing title of course. As I remember it (it was the 80's) John Cusack is a college student and a Virgin *gasp* Somehow he finds out some hot… More
  Since Peachy Leetz is getting the Sex Drive movie, I think I will get this baby on Netflix since it is basically a remake with a more revealing title of course. As I remember it (it was the 80's) John Cusack is a college student and a Virgin *gasp* Somehow he finds out some hot chick across the country is a "sure thing" and will give it up for him. (Makes me wonder about the gullibility of all the people on this site...hmm) Anyway, Next thing you know John is hitching rides across the country and as I remember it is funny and has a flash or two of breastsssseess. I have a feeling this is the better of the two movies.

  A favorite.

  Typical guys, but Cusack keeps this going.
