Things come to a head when Gib dares Allison to moon passing by cars and she actually does it.
While the material is really nothing new, one of the things that make this film work is the well-written script, which is full of great lines, and little vignettes along the way with incidental characters that add a humorous dimension of reality to the experience.
The Sure Thing was his first major lead role, and in it Cusack demonstrates his ability to carry an entire film.

To be sure, a story about a guy who travels cross-country just to get laid didn’t present something one might think would come across as anything other than crass.
To be sure, this commentary seems much better than some of Reiner’s worst offenses, but he still comes across as a generally dull and uninformative commentary participant.

 Amazon.com: The Sure Thing: DVD: John Cusack,Daphne Zuniga,Anthony Edwards,Boyd Gaines,Tim Robbins,Lisa Jane ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Rob Reiner's classic 1985 teen comedy, "The Sure Thing", features one of John Cusack's first starring roles as Gib Gibson, an early performance by the very young and beautiful Daphne Zuniga as Alison Bradbury, and a bizarre appearance by Tim Robbins in one of his first films as well.
But "The Sure Thing" connects in a totally different way with its similarly aged cast and settings, giving us a movie that highlights a slew of mixed feelings by Cusack's and Zuniga's characters, some spoken, many unspoken until push comes to shove.
In "Sure Thing" she wavers between that personna and the "in love with being in love" dedicated to her studies and her future husband who schools on the opposite west coast where Zuniga and Cusack's cross country Christmas time journey is taking them.

 Sure Thing, The Movie Review
The Sure Thing is simply a sweet, happy and good-natured movie where two central characters hate each other with a passion, but eventually discover that under all the shoulder shrugging, snippety remarks and heated tension they bounce off of each other; they have indeed fallen for each other.
Sure, it's a theme that has been wall-papered over and over again, but it's endearing.
And with attractive humor and clean, fun acting and all the little goodies in-between, The Sure Thing adds up to a delightful and honest story of love beginning to be seen for the first time.

 The Sure Thing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sure Thing is a 1985 romantic comedy directed by Rob Reiner and written by Stephen L. Bloom and Jonathan Roberts.
Gib pursues the Sure Thing, and Allison reunites with her boyfriend Jason.
But shortly thereafter both our heroes come to surprising conclusions: Gib realizes sleeping with the Sure Thing is pointless because he is not in love with her and Alison realizes Jason is not really her type and she doesn't truly love him.

 DVD Verdict Review - The Sure Thing: Special Edition
Gib sets out on a cross-country road trip to meet his Sure Thing, but chance gives him a partner on his journey: Alison Bradbury (Daphne Zuniga, Melrose Place), a straight-laced classmate on her way to California to meet with her martinet fiancé (Boyd Gaines, Porky's).
But by the time they reach their destination, Alison is left questioning the efficacy of a lifetime with her stodgy boyfriend, and Gib's no longer sure his Sure Thing is the girl he really wants.
Again, the treatment is surprisingly elaborate and much appreciated: The Sure Thing may not be the most famous film of its era, but those who love it, love it with a fanaticism deserving of a few quality supplements.

 The Sure Thing (1985) Movie Review
Finally re-released on video after about ten years off the market, The Sure Thing is still as fresh and funny today as it was when it played the theaters in 1985.
Gib is a free-spirit, so when he decides to pursue Alison Bradbury, a button-down yuppie girl (Daphne Zuniga) in his class, it is an immediate disaster.
Gib's best friend (Anthony Edwards, later of "E.R.") sets up a date for Gib with a "sure thing" (Nicolette Sheridan), a beautiful and sexually experimental woman Gib has never met.

 DVD.net : The Sure Thing - DVD Review
A cut above the average teenager booby flick of the time, and a youthful rendition of a road trip film, The Sure Thing is amongst a small number of college films made in the '80s that still have a fundamental truth at their core that is as true today as ever.
The Sure Thing, while solidly mired in 1985, is still eminently watchable today if you can abide the garish radio rock of the time pumping out at any given opportunity.
The Sure Thing is a good early effort from Rob Reiner and still has its fair share of laughs today.

She is going to see her boyfriend and he is going to bang the Sure Thing.
As she says in the film, " Life is the ultimate experience, but you have to experience it in order to write about it." And of course Anthony Edwards is quite funny as Lance.
The Sure Thing is not raunchy the way Porky's or American Pie is. It is not crude the Fasttimes or Last Road Trip is. But it is honest in it's humour and fair with it's balance of love and lust.
