Dan Hanson (Kevin Bacon) and Lorie Bryer (Elizabeth Perkins) are TV commentators who do a local show called "He Said, She Said". Her frustration with him wells up and she hits him with her coffee cup. The movie flashes back to when it all started. Dan is a womanizing conservative and Lorie is a liberal. They both work for the Baltimore Sun and both end up writing for op-ed column after the old writer retired. Their often combative opposing views become very popular. They fall for each other and Dan dumps Linda (Sharon Stone) to go with Lorie. After doing a TV show together, station manager Wally Thurman (Nathan Lane) is so impressed that he produces their new TV show. The movie shows the events according to him and then it shows her side of the story.
The best part of this movie is the two endearing leads. They probably make a fine rom-com couple. There are some minor problematic things about the story. The biggest problem is that I don't think the concept of doing the same story twice works that well. Sometimes the duo storytelling is fun but the movie loses a bit of suspense the second time around. I wonder if they could get across the idea of two different viewpoints better without doing the story twice. They could possibly use two different narrations to work the same concept.
