Say Anything (1989)

Usually I really like "coming of age" films. This one didn't sit right. Maybe it was because everyone seemed old. The two main characters were at least 25. And what's with her dad? He's got to be hitting 60.

But that completely distracting and unignorable point aside, the story itself didn't have too much to it. As desperate as he wanted to be, he was always clear and eloquent, if ramblingly so, and he always was on-the-ball. There was no doubt he wouldn't get her - apart from her dad, there were no obstacles. Wear him down and you win.
