Cusack is hilarious

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2000)

I have liked Cusack ever since he started with the bit parts in the John Hughes coming-of-age films, like Weird Science. Then he did the silly flicks like Better Off Dead and Sure Thing, which were amusing, as well. He nearly always plays a likeable fellow, one of the guys you hung out with in high school. And this is no exception. This is a fresh, witty film about the joys and troubles of relationships. We've all been there, and probably have more in store. The way the film relates these relationship trials to the audience is it's most valuable attribute. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's had relationship trouble! Definitely worth the price of rental.
