Lloyd Dobler (John Cussack) has a thing for a high school brainiac Diane Court (Ione Skye). Against all the odds he persuades her to go out with him, and they become an item during the summer. But dark clouds loom, as she has won a scholarship which means she has to move to England. And then things get worse when her father (John Mahoney) gets investigated for fraud.A teen romantic comedy that manages to avoid the usual cliches, remain funny, poinient, and does this all without getting slushy. The combination of a great cast, a good script and no nonsense direction makes for a fine understated film about first love.
