This movie is right up there with Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller- it has all the right elements for a classic 80's film, including a great cast. John Cusack is great in this film, as is John Mahoney (Frasier's Martin). I love the quirkiness of John's character Lloyd and how he rambles when he is nervous. The main theme is a post high school graduation love story between a brainy girl and genuine good guy, but then there is a twist at the end involving the girl's father (Mahoney), who doesn't approve of his daughter's relationship with Lloyd. I really liked this film and would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of 80's films or John Cusack's work.

John Cuscak is absolutley adorable as he is in most of his films. This is such a wonderful film which has all the right ingredients for a classic 80's film. The famous Boom Box scene is something that will stick with you. The acting in the film is great and once you see it you'll want to see it again and again.

The tagline reads 'To know Lloyd Dobbler is to love Lloyd Dobbler.' This couldn't be truer, my friends ranted on at me about this film for ages before I chose to watch it, and I wish I had a lot sooner, this instantly became my favourite film, I have watched this over and over, John Cusack has become my favourite actor, he plays awkward nice guy Dobbler perfectly, Skye is also brilliant as the beautiful school 'brain.'
For fans of general 80s love films, or more modern love films such as 'The Notebook' this film really is a classic, it's completely memorable, and leaves us wishing we had a Lloyd to stand outside our window with a boom box!
I couldn't recommend this film more it really is perfect!
