The Sure Thing

“A sure thing comes once in a lifetime... but the real thing lasts forever.”

Walter "Gib" Gibson (John Cusack) is a freshman at a New England college who drinks too much beer and talks his way through everything. A friend in Los Angeles promises him a girl who is a sure thing, so Gib heads west over Christmas break. Rob Reiner puts him in a car for the cross-country trip with Alison Bradbury (Daphne Zuniga), a neat, driven classmate who can't stand him.
