I should have seen this film long back! The general public must view it to have a new perspective of love. Love it!Acting are very natural and believable. Dialogues are well written. I wonder how it went during its days. But I would definitely, recommend this movie. I liked Elizabeth Perkin and Kevin Bacon's chemistry, they made the characters looked natural.The last shot there the old couple was lightly arguing was also interesting with the last dialogs as "That makes you Mrs. --".I would definitely watch it again if I could.

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.

A unusual take on modern romance, HE SAID SHE SAID looks at a relationship in trauma from both sides--first, we see Kevin Bacon's take (his insecurities, job woes, she's a competitor for a promotion, they swoop into romance...in other words the essentials of the plot without much dressing up), then we get Perkins' viewpoint (her breakup before Bacon, her belief that he's favored for the promotion, her plotting to get him to dance), which is much more emotional, and ultimately more entertaining.A very pleasant and enjoyable tale, well worth the rental--especially to see Perkins' re-interpretation of Bacon and his 'past' with old flame Sharon Stone.

This movie is one of my top ten favorites in romantic comedy. The chemistry between Elizabeth Perkins and Kevin Bacon is PERFECT. It's very cute, light, and will stay with you years after you've seen it. I definitely recommend it. I give it 9/10 stars. Superb!
