He Said, She Said (1/10) Movie CLIP - Why Fix It, If It Ain't Broken? (1991) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Lorie (Elizabeth Perkins) projects her anger at Dan (Kevin Bacon) during an on-air segment.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Real-life sweethearts and film directors Ken Kwapis and Marisa Silver co-directed this throwback to the silver-screen romantic comedies of the 1940s, examining the different ways men and women view reality. Kwapis takes the male character's point of view, recalling a burgeoning relationship. Silver then takes a crack at the same story, recalling the same events from the woman character's point of view. Unfortunately, both perspectives are not that much different. Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth Perkins star as Dan Hanson and Lorie Bryer, two reporters from the Baltimore Sun who are assigned to share space on the editorial page debating opposing viewpoints. Dan is the conservative philanderer. Lorie is the sensitive liberal. The new column becomes a big hit -- a shop owner exclaims, "Hey, it's the people who argue!" Although originally antagonists, Dan and Lorie become lovers. As their relationship grows, so does their popularity, and they end up hosting a popular television program. But Lorie wants commitment, and Dan doesn't. Frustrated, Lorie shies a coffee cup off Dan's noggin live on the air. Their ratings soar. And then the whole routine is played out again.

I absolutely LOVE this very underrated film.

It is a very brilliant film especially on a filmmaker's perspective. As many times as I have seen this film, I would not have known how brilliant this overlooked film really was until I listened to the audio commentary by the couple who made this film.

I really hope that Kevin Bacon will talk about this film in near future interviews.

A woman needs to clock VD Vance with a coffee cup!

[danabennett]

I remember how this scene bothered me all those years ago when I first saw the movie. Why was it okay for her to throw a coffee mug at him? The scene was played for laughs. Imagine if he'd thrown a mug at her and clocked her in the head? Would it have been funny? I have the same reaction whenever I see movie or tv scenes where women haul off and slap men.
