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. --Robert Horton
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.
This movie is great It's a classic 80's type movie. And who doesn't love John Cusack. It's a must watch.
Possibly the best romantic comedy ever made I don't know about you, but I've been dragged to a lot of bad romantic comedies. This movie stomps them into the ground and as a guy it's a lot of fun to watch.
John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga are both young college students hitching a ride to LA for different reasons. Through fate, they end up travelling together and of course they hate each other. The dialogue and hardships they endure really make the movie fun to watch. This is a great movie to watch on a date or by yourself if you want to relax and laugh
I wish people still made quality movies like this. John Cusack was pure comedy gold during the 80s with this movie, Better Off Dead, and One Crazy Summer. This is definitely one of the best movies ever made.
Cusack's best! great 80's comedy. John Cusack's best role-hands down. He is classic as Gib. Coming of age tale with great writing. No guilt involved, no strings attached-a Sure Thing!
