I watched this movie for the first time last night. For those who don't know, Say Anything is the tragic story of Diane Court, a high school valedictorian whose seemingly perfect life turns out to be a facade that crumbles to nothing over the summer after graduation. A seemingly minor side plot involves Diane hooking up with a local bum who's infatuated with her. By the end of the movie, we know Diane's sense of self has been utterly destroyed when, after having lost everything else, she lets the obsessed boy follow her to England as she begins her college career. Although this is a cruel fate for Diane, casting John Cusack in the role of creepy, lovesick puppy means we are not too surprised.
Oh, also, a brief scene in which Cusack harasses Diane with a boombox is now considered iconic. How did that happen?
