He Said, She Said - L'amour en stéréo

He Said, She Said is a great romantic comedy. I caught this on HBO and loved it. The chemistry between Dan(Bacon) and Lorie(Perkins) really jumps out at you. They are perfect for the part. I found the movie to also be quite funny. A lot of the humor was from Dan and Lorie's different point of views and how they saw everything the exact opposite from each other. There were also some hilarious parts involving one of Dan's old girlfriends Linda(Stone). I found this to be a very cute romantic comedy with plenty of laughs. I'd recommend you check this movie out if you like romantic stories.

8/10

Dan (Kevin Bacon) and Lorie (Elizabeth Perkins) work for the same newspaper publisher. When an editorial columnist retires, Lorie and Dan both apply for the position. The publisher likes both of their work so he decides to run a column of the "crossfire" nature, with both Dan and Lorie giving their opinions on diverse subjects. This is workable because, naturally, they stand directly opposed to one another on most matters. A television show gets hatched, also. However, they fall in love and move in together. How long will it be before bliss ends? This film, although made quite a few years ago, is still relevant today. The concept of couples who disagree on topics but, let love triumph, is neverending. Both Bacon and Perkins show off their comedic and dramatic abilities well and are very attractive people to watch. Nathan Lane and Sharon Stone lend their many talents to the movie as well. The settings and costumes are a hit while the couple's apartment is very beautiful. Last, but not least, the script is clever and fun. If you are searching for a "date movie" to show while you and your partner are snuggling on the couch in front of a fireplace, try and get a copy of this film. It's sweet and thought provoking nature makes it good choice.

This movie is one of my top ten favorites in romantic comedy. The chemistry between Elizabeth Perkins and Kevin Bacon is PERFECT. It's very cute, light, and will stay with you years after you've seen it. I definitely recommend it. I give it 9/10 stars. Superb!

I just saw this movie last night & was looking it up, when I found so many negative comments on the film at this website. One user says that he agrees with Maltin that this film is 'piffle': which makes me question Leonard Maltin himself. This movie is far from deserving to be termed 'piffle'. It is a clean, honest movie about typical men & women & the film itself goes into all sorts of very interesting (& light-hearted, thank God) psychological aspects of the two main characters. Another user says it's bad enough to see the story once, but then the torture is doubled when the story starts over from the woman's point of view! I am quite disappointed with this because the obvious point of repeating the whole story from a different point of view are the differences between the two. And these differences are subtle & very significant to the matter of the film. I suspect people do not want to admit that this film touched them -- well, actually, I think people are so conditioned so as to dismiss such a film as 'cheesy' or 'piffle' because of acquired motions of being & seeming brave. In fact, the people who do not respond positively to this film are very much like the male character in this film, who is incapable of allowing himself true feelings, for if he does, he loses his bravery construct. This film is a very compelling, very sweetly made film that will really change you if you allow it to. And that's the point really, we have to ask ourselves how much we do or don't allow ourselves to be changed by the things around us. In my opinion, everyone should watch this film and judge for themselves. Forget Maltin & the other cynics, we're just ordinary people trying to lead better lives, you know. And this film is very much about that, and in my opinion is something like a minor classic, the 'Casablanca' if you may, of modern-day cubicle romance.

I didn't realise this film could generate such diverse opinions - ironic, given the tag line. This was a sweet movie, nicely performed by the nearly always underrated, but never disappointing stars, both of whom have enjoyed unspectacular but satisfying (from my point of view) careers. The story was smart and lightly handled - okay, it wasn't quite When Harry met Sally, but neither, thank God, was it You've got mail. Strange that Brian Hohfeld doesn't seem to have many other major writing credits, considering the standard he achieved here, or are my sources out of date? Nice work all round, and Elizabeth Perkins can still effortlessly pluck my heartstrings, even after all these years!
