Forget "Almost Famous", forget "Jerry Maguire"- this is the film that
Cameron Crowe should be judged on. (That, and the classic Fast Times at
Ridgemont High) This is a touching, simple, lovely, and very funny film
that you should see with someone you love. John Cusack has never been so
good- he keeps his smirking to a minimum, and Ione Skye (where'd she
go?) is terrific too. On the surface a simple love story, but it goes
much deeper and deals with keeping your heart and hope alive in the face
of difficult times with family, something we can all relate too. Filled
with wonderful cameos, including Jeremy Piven and Joan Cusack and Lili
Taylor and Eric Stoltz (an alum from Fast Times!), this is one of the
few heartfelt studio films made in the last 20 years. "Almost Famous"
and "Jerry Maguire" appear bloated and over-produced compared to "Say
Anything". Rent this for your first date for a real interesting evening.
A great film!
