Editorial Review:Amazon.com:Two mismatched college students (John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga) find themselves trapped together during a cross-country road trip, trying to make it home for the holidays. 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. It's not hard to predict where this sweetly old-fashioned romantic comedy is going to end up, but along the way there are many pleasures to be had. Director Rob Reiner, in his second feature (after
This Is Spinal Tap), has a nice eye for the kitschy flotsam found along the American highway, and his identification with the college kids doesn't condescend to them one bit. The movie helped make a star of John Cusack, who gives a delightfully spritzy performance--kind of a precursor to his similarly energetic, likable turn in
Say Anything. Given the usual crass tenor of Hollywood college movies,
The Sure Thing is something to treasure.

Romantic teenage comedy - with an '80s feel
John Cusack plays a university fresher lost in school work and failing hopelessly in romance too.
It is simple, funny and charming, a film that can be watched time and again.

Pretty good
I was looking for another Say Anything because I loved John Cusack in that movie. This was not as good as that but I still liked the story and the chemistry between him and the girl he liked. I am glad I bought it. Thank goodness it was not a lame comedy like Better off Dead which sucked and One Crazy Summer which was one of the worst movies I have seen!

Great fun movie.
I loved this movie when it first came out and still enjoyed watching it the second time around. What male could ever forget Nicolette in that white bikini?
Just a good fun movie with one of my favorite scenes ever with Cusack getting his girlfriend out of the truck.
This one is worth seeing.
