The Sure Thing is a decent, but light and cliche-riddled film.
Though aspects of the whole thing are poor in regards to every secondary characterization taken to the extreme infinitum, the two leads John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga have good chemistry together and make it a likeable enough film. Though never breaking through, failing to commit to an important scene. Alison's choice of timing's also a problem. She doesn't say or act on anything at a given time, but repeatedly soon after takes a drastic step... i.e. Not taking the trip, going to the party and even at the end, getting together with him.
