When free-spirited but juvenile Walter "Gib" Gibson (John Cusack) meets studious, uptight Alison Bradbury (Daphne Zuniga) at an unnamed Ivy League college, sparks fly; unfortunately, they are mostly of the disastrous variety as all of Gib’s attempts at courtship fall painfully apart. Inevitably, the duo is tossed together when they both answer the same ad for a ride to California. While Alison is traveling to reunite with her tidy law school boyfriend, Gib is on the road to meet a beautiful girl whom his best friend promises him is "a sure thing." Before too long, Gib and Alison’s bickering inflames the driver, who promptly deposits the two with their suitcases on the side of a lonely highway thousands of miles from their destination. As the misadventures pile up, the initially contentious pair begin to take a liking to one another, but do these two dare fall in love?

One of the funniest movies one can watch.

This film was watched on the same night as "Get Smart" and definitely was the more engaging of the two. It was nice to see a very young John Cusack in fine form. The story line was simple and predictable,however, it was so well acted by the leads, that one's attention was held thoughout.

What a waste of film. I am sure that this is enjoyable by someone but it wasn't by me. Highly recommended for a steer clear. Don't loan this. Its very disappointing. Trite acting. Ordinary story. Predictable plotlines. Yawnworthy at best. I can't wait to remember this one when my life flashes before my eyes as i die .... NOT!

Cusack made his name in the 80's with likeable guys chasing unatainable girls. Some laughs here. See this and better off dead for your next 80's night.

Entertaining romantic comedy. Two college students have a rocky start but eventually fall in love after some tribulations.
