When free-spirited but juvenile Walter Gib Gibson (John Cusack) meets studious, uptight Alison Bradbury (Daphne Zuniga) at an unnamed Ivy League college, sparks fly; unfortunately, they are mostly of the disastrous variety as all of Gib's attempts at courtship fall painfully apart. Inevitably, the duo is tossed together when they both answer the same ad for a ride to California. While Alison is traveling to reunite with her tidy law school boyfriend, Gib is on the road to meet a beautiful girl whom his best friend promises him is a sure thing. Before too long, Gib and Alison's bickering inflames the driver, who promptly deposits the two with their suitcases on the side of a lonely highway thousands of miles from their destination. As the misadventures pile up, the initially contentious pair begin to take a liking to one another, but do these two dare fall in love?
Rob Reiner's initial attempt at romantic comedy pays subtle homage to the classic screwballs of early Hollywood with gentle lyricism. The film is buoyed by the stellar performances of the two leads, Cusack (in one of his first significant roles) and Zuniga, reminiscent of the great studio pairings of the past.
