John Cusack's acting...


Is stellar in this movie. Very realistic reactions and his facial expressions just kill me! Like when he tells Diane he loves her and then he says "There, I said it" and sort of looks down with a sheepish smile. And when he's talking to the girls about having slept with Diane...awesome. :)


It wasn't me who was murdered, was it?

If you were a teen girl in the 80's and you didn't have a crush on John Cusak this movie will do it! For me it was after his movie "The Sure Thing." Awesome in both movies!

Lloyd is very cute and endearing. I didn't have a crush on John Cusack till I watched this movie.

Millennial here and I had a crush on John Cusack when I saw this movie a few years ago. Actually, it started for me when I saw the Sure Thing too prior to this one on TVGuide. Hilarious movie. JC is great in everything. Pity we don't have a John Cusack type actor for my generation.

Wildcattin'...Wildcattin'. Pow! I'm gonna go.

I'm 24, and Say Anything is the movie that made me a fan of John Cusack. Whenever I feel sad, I watch a Cusack film. Always makes me feel better!!! He's one of a kind.

Concur with all of this. I had already admired him as an actor before I ever saw Say Anything, and unsurprisingly I found his performance in said movie to be among his best ever. He’s just completely natural in every scene and I would say he makes the movie better overall.

Ione is lovely in her part as well.
