SnoopyStyle Dan Hanson (Kevin Bacon) and Lorie Bryer (Elizabeth Perkins) are TV commentators who do a local show called "He Said, She Said". Her frustration with him wells up and she hits him with her coffee cup. The movie flashes back to when it all started. Dan is a womanizing conservative and Lorie is a liberal. They both work for the Baltimore Sun and both end up writing for op-ed column after the old writer retired. Their often combative opposing views become very popular. They fall for each other and Dan dumps Linda (Sharon Stone) to go with Lorie. After doing a TV show together, station manager Wally Thurman (Nathan Lane) is so impressed that he produces their new TV show. The movie shows the events according to him and then it shows her side of the story.The best part of this movie is the two endearing leads. They probably make a fine rom-com couple. There are some minor problematic things about the story. The biggest problem is that I don't think the concept of doing the same story twice works that well. Sometimes the duo storytelling is fun but the movie loses a bit of suspense the second time around. I wonder if they could get across the idea of two different viewpoints better without doing the story twice. They could possibly use two different narrations to work the same concept.

rowmorg Very nearly an eight, but sad to say it went on too long. It's tough on Elizabeth Perkins, who needed a break, that she performed very well in this little love story, and the idiot of a writer (and the directors) felt the need to make it 25 minutes too long which kind of wrecks it. Kevin Bacon, too, must have been furious when (if) he viewed the final cut and found that the movie went on for ever and Sharon Stone only appeared for maybe three minutes in total. The repeat from Elizabeth Perkins' character's point of view was totally unnecessary and actually contained straight repeats of scenes: hardly necessary. So, it's a shame that this pair took so incredibly long to decide to get married. If they'd done it in 85 minutes the picture might well have been a decent hit for both of them. Well, I guess that's showbiz for you. Of course, it's ironic that the reviewer quoted in her IMDb biography said Elizabeth Perkins was too old (in 2005) to see a change in her disappointing (until then) career, just before she appeared in the smash-hit series Weeds and made millions. So, you never know, do you, and that too is showbiz folks!

scissorhands__emily He Said, She Said is a great romantic comedy. I caught this on HBO and loved it. The chemistry between Dan(Bacon) and Lorie(Perkins) really jumps out at you. They are perfect for the part. I found the movie to also be quite funny. A lot of the humor was from Dan and Lorie's different point of views and how they saw everything the exact opposite from each other. There were also some hilarious parts involving one of Dan's old girlfriends Linda(Stone). I found this to be a very cute romantic comedy with plenty of laughs. I'd recommend you check this movie out if you like romantic stories.8/10

suhaasa I just saw this movie last night & was looking it up, when I found so many negative comments on the film at this website. One user says that he agrees with Maltin that this film is 'piffle': which makes me question Leonard Maltin himself. This movie is far from deserving to be termed 'piffle'. It is a clean, honest movie about typical men & women & the film itself goes into all sorts of very interesting (& light-hearted, thank God) psychological aspects of the two main characters. Another user says it's bad enough to see the story once, but then the torture is doubled when the story starts over from the woman's point of view! I am quite disappointed with this because the obvious point of repeating the whole story from a different point of view are the differences between the two. And these differences are subtle & very significant to the matter of the film. I suspect people do not want to admit that this film touched them -- well, actually, I think people are so conditioned so as to dismiss such a film as 'cheesy' or 'piffle' because of acquired motions of being & seeming brave. In fact, the people who do not respond positively to this film are very much like the male character in this film, who is incapable of allowing himself true feelings, for if he does, he loses his bravery construct. This film is a very compelling, very sweetly made film that will really change you if you allow it to. And that's the point really, we have to ask ourselves how much we do or don't allow ourselves to be changed by the things around us. In my opinion, everyone should watch this film and judge for themselves. Forget Maltin & the other cynics, we're just ordinary people trying to lead better lives, you know. And this film is very much about that, and in my opinion is something like a minor classic, the 'Casablanca' if you may, of modern-day cubicle romance.
