*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Teenage romance masterpiece about underachiever Cusack falling for and winning the heart of overachiever Skye the summer after high school, with serious decisions arising as college approaches for the latter, possibly forcing the two to go down different paths forever. Three-dimensional characters with very relatable conflicts. Mahoney steals the movie as Skye's father, who is just so freaking awesome that it's too good to be true… which, sadly, ends up being the case. There are a few story choices that force the movie off track unnecessarily, but it's just straight-up knit-picking to say it negatively affects the overall viewing experience or quality of the film. Directorial debut of Cameron Crowe. Lois Chiles, Joan Cusack and Dan Castellaneta all go unbilled.
