2.5/4
""...A post-John Hughes innovator as a teen flick that ducks both Afterschool Special-isms and crass humour...""
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
3.5/4
"
Say Anything
was a singularly three-dimensional teen romance after a decade of broad gags and breakfast-club stereotypes in John Hughesland."
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
4/5
"Cameron Crowe crafts one of his best films around the end-of-high-school ennui and the uncertainties that come with that time in your life, but
Say Anything...
is aging faster than you might think, despite its many classic lines and moments."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
3.5/4
"...one of the best movies about young love ever made."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
B+
"Finally, we have a teen film that doesn't dumb down its story line and play it solely as a goofy teen film."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
"Writer and director Cameron Crowe has taken the hackneyed subject of teenage love and given it some freshness."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3.5/4
"Smart, well-developed characters, believable situations, and a solid emotional investment for us in the film's people and circumstances"
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
4/4
"Crowe's script is honest and straightforward in its simplicity, yet deeply moving in its details and nuances."
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
3/5
"Cameron Crowe's directorial debut gets a fully loaded DVD that demonstrates the best -- and worst -- of all his films."
Netflix
James Rocchi
4/4
"You know that feeling when you're watching a movie for the first time, and it grabs you right away and it gets better and better until the very end? This is one of these very special films."
Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
"
Say Anything
does the nearly impossible of making a satisfying film from a high school dating comedy."
