Competing journalists Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth Perkins find love and success as battling co-hosts of their own talk show. But the friction that makes the show a hit threatens to cancel the romance, as the lovers discover that each has a completely different concept of commitment. This breezy comedy-of-the-sexes looks at love from both points of view. In the first part of the film, the relationship is seen through "his" eyes, while the second half of the film is visualized from "her" perspective. Both viewpoints are wildly different and totally hilarious, combining for a completely winning romantic comedy. Also starring Sharon Stone as his good friend (he says) and longtime love (she says).
"Diverting performances by Elizabeth Perkins and Kevin Bacon..." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"I...liked the chemistry between Bacon and Perkins..." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Editor's Note
Anti-intellectual skirt-chasing journalist Dan Hanson (Kevin Bacon) and his sensitive, liberal, erudite colleague Lorie Bryer (Elizabeth Perkins) find themselves fighting for the same column at the Baltimore Sun. They become a hit when the editors decide to run their columns side-by-side allowing readers to enjoy their opposing viewpoints on the issues. When their column is adapted into a television program, "He Said, She Said," their success leads to their romance--but when they have an on-air argument, both Dan and Lorie get a chance to explain their side of the story. Ken Kwapis directs the "He Said" portion of the argument, while Marisa Silver handles the "She Said" perspective.
Plot Summary
A film that gives his-and-her perspectives on a romance between two rival Baltimore journalists. The first half is told from the "male" point of view and explains his reluctance to marry and desire for professional dominance. The second half then covers the same ground from a more romantic "female" viewpoint.
