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 <i>This Is Spinal Tap</i>), 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 <i>Say Anything</i>. Given the usual crass tenor of Hollywood college movies, <i>The Sure Thing</i> is something to treasure. <i>--Robert Horton</i>
Viewer Reviews
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.
