Lloyd Dobler: I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

Featured review
sincere teen rom-com
It's graduation at a Seattle high school. Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) vows to go out with Diane Court (Ione Skye). His friends Corey Flood (Lili Taylor) explain to Lloyd that she's a brain and they won't fit. He's living with his single mom sister Constance (Joan Cusack). She's the valedictorian on her way to England with a hard won scholarship. Her only friend is her father Jim (John Mahoney) who owns a nursing home. She regrets being detached from her schoolmates and is intrigued with Lloyd. Her father disapproves of Lloyd and the slacker distraction he represents.
This is one of the most sincere of the teen rom-com genre. It's more than the iconic boombox scene. John Cusack seems perfectly fitted to play this charming nice guy. He has great friends and he's a perfect gentleman. He's like a prince charming and it's completely believable that Diane would fall heavily for Lloyd. Written and directed by Cameron Crowe, this movie takes the genre seriously which often easily falls into broad slacker comedy.
