The Sure Thing Reviews
Cusack's extrovert antics might have been cushioned but for his inept co-star who pouted her way throughout. A pit, it could have been a very funny film.
Warm as well as funny, The Sure Thing is a cheerful, unexpected love story.
"The Sure Thing" is a road romance-comedy made special by the fresh faces, the young talent and some first-rate writing.
It's fun, but it could have been fantastic.
The end product is a lightweight comedy that doesn't leave a lasting impression.
It is not uncommon for directors to suffer a sophomore jinx after an initial success, the terrible thing about Reiner's face-forward flop is that he has chosen to fail with such a mediocre, such a mundane movie.
It isn't a bad movie exactly, but if you called it a laugh riot, a good lawyer would have you at his mercy.
Amazing -- here's a quiet college comedy. And warm, too. Intelligent. Even understanding. Which makes it even funnier.
Warm and witty.
Too bad a filmmaker as promising as Reiner must succumb to recycling tired ideas.
What's remarkable is Reiner's restraint and good taste.
No great surprise as to who eventually beds down with whom, but the charm of the players and audacity of their director make it all worthwhile.
The bones of the formula occasionally stick out, but the film is kept afloat by Reiner's sense of comic timing and the ability of the characters to keep surprising us.
"The Sure Thing" is a delight throughout.
It's funny, romantic and extremely well-acted.
In a decade largely defined by raunchy teen sex comedies, here's a film that stood out from the pack thanks to its sweetness and sincerity.
Because director Reiner coaxes believable and accomplished performances out of his costars, The Sure Thing registers as one of the funniest and best observed coming-of-age movies in memory.
Light, witty and engaging, Rob Reiner's new comedy about a pair of star-crossed teenagers is a pleasure to behold, a giddy, refreshing departure from the mindlessness prevalent in most modern youth-oriented capers.
Cusack and Zuniga do remarkable jobs of turning two routine characters into believable, well-rounded teens.
It's often very wordy, especially Cusack's speeches, but even when there's too much of it, the dialogue is sharp and funny.
