Eighties teen romp involving Bill and his new apartment, Jim and his rebellious antics, Tom and his crazy self, and Anita with her older man David.
Writing
Cameron Crowe's debut script, messy but occasionally sublime.
Acting
Chris Penn's unhinged Tom, a performance from another dimension.
Production
Incredibly specific 1984 Los Angeles time capsule.
Director
Art Linson
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Art Linson fired Crowe from directing his own script; Crowe later got revenge by basing a character on him in The Larry Sanders Show.
This bombed against Repo Man and Sixteen Candles, effectively killing the 'edgy teen dramedy' until Crowe directed Say Anything... himself.
