not a trope anymore, covered under Boyfriend Blocking Dad
Deleted line(s) 86 (click to see context) :
* OverprotectiveDad: Downplayed. Mr. Court is very attentive to every aspect of Diane's life to the point she doesn't really have any friends in high school, and he constantly lays praise over how gifted she is same as the teachers. But when Lloyd invites her to the party he appears more than reasonable and completely fine with the fact she returned home during breakfast. It isn't until later in the film the contrast being Lloyd's lack of ambition possibly interfering with Diane going to college in England that he starts to press down on the matter, and even then is very respectful of her decisions in the matter.

Added DiffLines:
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Diane is valedictorian of her high school but knows almost no one, she actually ends up meeting people for the first time and becoming friends at the WildTeenParty after graduation. It's explained she was actually a prodigy taking college courses, so she literally was isolated from most of her classmates.

Added DiffLines:
* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Lloyd can be a MotorMouth and a lot of the words he uses and poetry in putting them together belies the idea he is an uneducated slacker. Cusack's delivery helps sell the idea he is more rambling rather than being carefully put together.

Lloyd Dobler (Cusack) is an unambitious C student who pursues valedictorian Diane Court (Skye) after graduation. They fall in love, but unfortunately, Mr. Court ([[Series/{{Frasier}} John Mahoney]]) doesn't approve of having this slacker in his perfect daughter's life.
AFI named this as one of the Top 100 romantic movies of the last hundred years, and Creator/RogerEbert considered it the ''greatest'' romantic movie made since 1980. [[SignatureScene There's a well-known scene from this film]] where Dobler [[BalconyWooingScene holds a boombox]] playing Music/PeterGabriel's "[[Music/{{So}} In Your Eyes]]" over his head. Contrary to what you may have heard, this does not win her back, but that scene has become almost iconic. Also, there's some stuff about the IRS investigating Mr. Court for embezzlement.
