2. The Sure Thing | Rotten Tomatoes
The Sure Thing is a charming, smartly written, and mature teen comedy featuring a breakout role for John Cusack.
Gib (John Cusack), a college freshman, keeps striking out with women. When he learns that a beautiful Californian (Nicollette Sheridan) wants to have a tryst with him, he decides to carpool all the way to the West Coast to meet her. Unfortunately, one of the other passengers on the trip is Alison (Daphne Zuniga), an attractive but domineering girl who has rejected Gib once before. The journey is a nightmare until a funny thing happens -- Gib and Alison start to fall in love.
3. My favorite line - The Sure Thing (1985) Discussion | MovieChat
By far the coolest scene: A sure thing, no questions asked, no strings attached... No guilt involved. A sure thing. My whole life, I never had a sure thing.
What set this movie apart for me watching it in the theaters in 1985, was how intelligent the scripting was. Kids in college are a bit crazy, but they are also smart, and show some growth in character for all the money invested. When Cusack's Gibb is throwing a football around out on the campus lawn, and he says he's a player from Grambling, his buddy says something like "isn't Grambling all black?" and he says "So what?" That's right, so what? They didn't have to throw that in there, but I'm glad they did. Since this closely mirrors one of the writer's real experiences it's cool to think that exchange may really have taken place.
As far as one liners go, one of my favorites is when Allison is trying to stretch the budget, restricting when they can next eat, she says as though it's such great news: "after 1,000 miles, we can have a snack", and Gibb says "Oh goodie, Cheetos in Albuquerque, I can hardly wait!" The way he says that cracks me up.
