Director: Cameron Crowe
Cast: John Cusack, Ione Skye, John Mahoney, Lili Taylor, Amy Brooks

At the end of high school, Lloyd falls for Diane, a girl who is out of his league, academically speaking. Cameron Crowe's directorial debut is a likeable romantic comedy, where the protagonist is a genuinely nice guy. The film offers refreshing innocence compared to today's teen comedies, which are filled with sex- and drug-obsessed assholes.
