Anti-intellectual skirt-chasing journalist Dan Hanson (Kevin Bacon) and his sensitive, liberal, erudite colleague Lorie Bryer (Elizabeth Perkins) find themselves fighting for the same column at the Baltimore Sun. They become a hit when the editors decide to run their columns side-by-side allowing readers to enjoy their opposing viewpoints on the issues. When their column is adapted into a television program, "He Said, She Said," their success leads to their romance--but when they have an on-air argument, both Dan and Lorie get a chance to explain their side of the story. Ken Kwapis directs the "He Said" portion of the argument, while Marisa Silver handles the "She Said" perspective.
