Konterr Brilliant and touching

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Gideon24 The surprisingly solid on screen chemistry between stars Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth Perkins and an intricate but humorous screenplay are the primary selling points of the 1991 comedy He Said She Said Bacon and Perkins play Dan and Lorie, journalists who first met while working for the same newspaper whose opposing views on just about every subject eventually leads them to getting their own television segment where they offer opposing comments on the issue of the day. However, the story actually opens long after their relationship has become personal when, during a segment of the show, Lorie brains Dan in the head with a coffee mug. The story then flashes back to show the birth of their relationship and what led to the throwing of the mug and just like their professional relationship, we see the relationship from Dan's point of view and then see it from Lorie's and it is the differences in their versions of the personal relationship paralleled with their opposing professional views that make the movie so fun and a lot more entertaining than I expected.Directors Ken Kwapis and Marisa Silver have mounted a solid romantic comedy (which, I suspected, is probably loosely based on their own real life relationship) with the help of Brian Hohlfeld's deft screenplay, that provides equal doses of laughter and warmth and, surprisingly, will not having you taking sides with either of the protagonists. The leads also receive strong support from Nathan Lane as their boss and Sharon Stone as an old girlfriend of Dan's who conveniently comes into his life when things get rough with Lorie. It's not up there with other great contemporary romantic comedies like Sleepless in Seattle or When harry met Sally, but it is entertaining and will have you rooting for these two people to stay together at the end.

Claudio Carvalho The wolf journalist Dan Hanson (Kevin Bacon) is disputing a column in the newspaper Baltimore Sun with his colleague Lorie Bryer (Elizabeth Perkins). The editors decide to divide the column between them increasing their rivalry. They are invited by the television producer Wally Thurman (Nathan Lane) to have their own show called "He Said, She Said", where they present opposing opinions in different subjects. Meanwhile they fall in love for each other and decide to live together. Three years later, Lorie wishes to marry Dan that refuses and they have a discussion and Lorie throws her mug on his forehead. When they tell their story to their friends, each one tells it in a different perspective. "He Said, She Said" is a wonderful romantic comedy underrated in IMDb with a delightful battle of the sexes. The same story is disclosed twice, the first time in accordance with Dan Hanson's perspective and directed by Ken Kwapis and the second time the view of Lorie Bryer directed by Marisa Silver. The funny thing is that Ken Kwapis and Marisa Silver were engaged and got married to each other after the film was released. In 1991 I loved this movie and presently it is lovely to see Elizabeth Perkins, Sharon Stone, Kevin Bacon, Anthony LaPaglia, Nathan Lane and others very young. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Ele Disse, Ela Disse" ("He Said, She Said")

breakdownthatfilm-blogspot-com Remembering what happened in a relationship is tough for some people. Majority of the time it comes down to only the guys because most of the time, women remember things better. But it has to be understood that the truth is frequently stretched in both directions to help prove the testifier is in the right. Men and women see things differently on a lot of topics and the most debated about subject are relationships. He said "this" and she said "that". Whose memory or interpretation is more accurate in telling the truth? That's the kind of story audiences' get here.The plot revolves around a couple Dan Hansen (Kevin Bacon) and Lorie Bryer (Elizabeth Perkins) who see their way of living quite differently. Hansen feels that he wants to live his life as a lone wolf and doesn't want to settle down any time soon. Bryer on the other hand is looking for that guy in her life who is like a wolf but would like to settle down at some point. To think that their eventual meeting would happen so coincidentally was far from their thoughts. When in fact, that's what happened. Unfortunately, the ride is very bumpy and soon there's a point to where they need a break from each other. But to understand why they need this break is where things can get tiresome.The explanation behind this break is displayed through flashback sequences. The flashbacks are done in two segments. The first segment is told through the eyes of Dan and the second segment is told through the eyes of Lorie. Flashbacks are an OK method of explanation, but the idea that this movie consistently relies on it can get tiresome and feel long, considering that the running time itself is close to two hours total. Plus, with these two segments the viewer will be watching what they saw from the first half of the film again. The feeling will get repetitive and too familiar for the audience to want to see more of almost the exact same scene. The exchanges are varied because of the point of view, but some it isn't as different as one might expect.With this, leads to some comical exchanges but not anything that'll have people rolling on the floors. Kevin Bacon has a few good moments as well as Elizabeth Perkins, but the laughs are too few short. Perhaps the one actor who stole each scene he was in was Nathan Lane's. For most, it's because of his voice and how he reminds every viewer that he IS Timon from the Lion King (1994), even though at the time of 1991 no one saw it coming. Along with him, was upcoming star Sharon Stone (who plays Dan Hansen's ex-girlfriend), Stanley Anderson (who later plays in RoboCop 3 (1993)), and veteran actor Phil Leeds (who plays an old tenant where Dan Hansen lives).As for anything else, props should still be given to the directors for at least carrying out the concept of this point of view movie. It at least gives insight to how the mechanisms of the male and female minds work. Thus maybe giving us (the viewers) a better idea of what the opposite sex expects from us in a relationship. Adding a little bit to the emotion is Miles Goodman's score to the film. This is also the composer to the popular film Little Shop of Horrors (1986) and a year later, the beloved Muppet Christmas Carol (1992). It is a slightly above average rom-com.Its actors are well chosen and the concept is very intellectual but its direction can be long and monotonous, while the comedy is a hit or miss leaving the story itself carrying the emotion.

cbpelto Akin to the great battle of the sexes films of the 30s and 40s staring Spencer Tracy and Kathrine Hepburn but in the settings of the feminist 80s and 90s.The premise is almost prescient of the James Carville and Mary Matalin lash-up, as this film was released in '91 before those two diametrically opposed political advisers/pundits of reality became widely known.Like the Tracy & Hepburn films of old this one is into feminine activism. Elizabeth Perkins' character, Lorie Bryer, is successfully fighting her way to the top of her profession in a major city newspaper. There's strong competition from Kevin Bacon's character, Dan Hanson, for a much prized promotion.Like Tracy & Hepburn, both are highly intelligent, albeit in their respective ways. She's a liberal. He's more 'conservative', think of Billy Joel's hit,"Modern Woman" for the two of them and you'll get the general idea.Unlike the Tracy & Hepburn films, there's deeper observation into the human psyche. And VERY well done. Their widely disparate perceptions of mutual experiences are hilarious as well as insightful.Also, unlike the Tracy & Hepburn films, the supporting cast here have more depth and better expression. But with people like Sharon Stone playing the sultry other love interest and Nathan 'Mousehunt' Lane as the antsy television station manager, this should be expected. And it adds depth to the overall cinematic experience.All in all, it's a good movie. I'll probably watch it as often as I watch the classic Tracy & Hepburn films in my library.
