[net.movies] Review: THE SURE THING

moriarty@fluke.UUCP (Jeff Meyer) (04/30/85)

Say, if you haven't seen this yet, I recommend that you do before it
hits cable.  Wonderful upgrade of "It Happened One Night" theme, with
good dialogue and a truly pleasant ending.  I think I liked this better
than Risky Business, and I liked that a *lot*.  The Sure Thing dwells
more on characters than comic events, which is where it triumphs; you
genuinely like both of the major characters by the end of the show. 
Rob Reiner is indeed getting quite a reputation as a director (or at
least someone who knows how to pick people and scripts...).

                                "You'd do it for Randolph Scott."
                                (chorus) "*gasp* RANDOLPH SCOTT!"
