He Said, She Said
Womanising, right-wing Dan Hanson and quiet, liberal Lorie Bryer work for the Baltimore Sun. Rivals for the job of new writer of a vacant column, the paper ends up instead printing their very different opinions alongside each other, which leads to a similarly combative local TV show. At the same time their initial indifference to each other looks like it may evolve into something more romantic.

Dan finally tells Lorie he loves her while she sleeps
Lorie throws her coffee mug at Dan during their on-air breakup
The film drops significantly when it restarts from Lorie's perspective, losing momentum despite the conceptual novelty
Critics found the chemistry between Bacon and Perkins engaging and the battle-of-the-sexes premise solid, but many felt the dual-perspective structure worked against the film's momentum. While the psychological insights into the characters were appreciated, the decision to retell the same story twice left many reviewers feeling the concept was better in theory than execution, resulting in a pleasant but unremarkable romantic comedy.
