Say Anything...
A Lloyd meets girl story.
Directed by Cameron Crowe
Produced by Gracie Films, 20th Century Fox
A sincere, earnest romantic comedy about an underdog teenager's pursuit of an unattainable girl, grounded in genuine warmth and the messy reality that love alone cannot solve all obstacles.
Average student and eternal optimist Lloyd Dobler seeks to capture the heart of Diane Court, a beautiful but unattainable valedictorian classmate. He surprises just about everyone - including himself - when she returns the sentiment. However, Diane's divorced, over-protective father soon begins to disapprove of the match, and Lloyd realises that it's going to take more than just the power of love to conquer all.
