Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe genesis of this film was generated from a night out in Paris, France where the film's two directors, Marisa Silver and Ken Kwapis, were both telling the story of how the pair had gotten together. They noticed that their stories were different in perspective, so they decided to make a movie based on this high concept, and shortly afterwards, contacted the film's Screenwriter Brian Hohlfeld to develop the movie, then pitched the picture to Paramount, who gave them the go-ahead.
- GoofsWhen Lorie throws the coffee mug at Dan during the He Said, She Said segment, the mug hits him on the right side of the head. Yet the cut (and later the bandage) is on the left side of his head.

Tracy & Hepburn in the 90s
Akin to the great battle of the sexes films of the 30s and 40s staring Spencer Tracy and Kathrine Hepburn but in the settings of the feminist 80s and 90s.
The premise is almost prescient of the James Carville and Mary Matalin lash-up, as this film was released in '91 before those two diametrically opposed political advisers/pundits of reality became widely known.
Like the Tracy & Hepburn films of old this one is into feminine activism. Elizabeth Perkins' character, Lorie Bryer, is successfully fighting her way to the top of her profession in a major city newspaper. There's strong competition from Kevin Bacon's character, Dan Hanson, for a much prized promotion.
Like Tracy & Hepburn, both are highly intelligent, albeit in their respective ways. She's a liberal. He's more 'conservative', think of Billy Joel's hit,"Modern Woman" for the two of them and you'll get the general idea.
Unlike the Tracy & Hepburn films, there's deeper observation into the human psyche. And VERY well done. Their widely disparate perceptions of mutual experiences are hilarious as well as insightful.
Also, unlike the Tracy & Hepburn films, the supporting cast here have more depth and better expression. But with people like Sharon Stone playing the sultry other love interest and Nathan 'Mousehunt' Lane as the antsy television station manager, this should be expected. And it adds depth to the overall cinematic experience.
All in all, it's a good movie. I'll probably watch it as often as I watch the classic Tracy & Hepburn films in my library.
