Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 19 Say, if you haven't seen this yet, I recommend that you do before it hits cable. Wonderful upgrade of "It Happened One Night" theme, with good dialogue and a truly pleasant ending. I think I liked this better than Risky Business, and I liked that a *lot*. The Sure Thing dwells more on characters than comic events, which is where it triumphs; you genuinely like both of the major characters by the end of the show. Rob Reiner is indeed getting quite a reputation as a director (or at least someone who knows how to pick people and scripts...). "You'd do it for Randolph Scott." (chorus) "*gasp* RANDOLPH SCOTT!"
