4.0 out of 5 stars
an unorthodox love story,
By
This review is from: Love Story (Widescreen) (DVD)
this is an unorthodox romantic drama.it doesn't follow all the typical conventions of the genre.the characters and their action aren't typical.and the movie isn't overly maudlin or sentimental.in fact,it has almost none of that.but it works.sure it does tug on the heart strings,but in a way that doesn't feel like manipulation it's very subtle.credit that to the writing of Eric Segal.the the two main characters,Jennifer Cavalleri(Ali MacGraw)and Oliver Barrett IV(Ryan O'Neal)aren't what you would call likable,yet they tend to endear themselves to you through the course of the film,enough that you do end up caring about them.overall,i was drawn in to the story from the get go right to the end credits.for me,Love Story is a 4/5

To be honest, it could have been better,
By
This review is from: Love Story (Widescreen) (DVD)
After reading the book "Love Story" and sobbing about the ending of the of the book when Jenny dies, I wasn't quite normal for a few days, the story just stuck in my mind. I knew that there was a movie based on the book out there and about a month after reading the book I saw the movie. To be brutally honest the movie didn't have the punch and the emotion that the book had had on me. It just seemed kind of choppy, like somebody was going scissor happy in the editing room in 1970. I am not going to say anything about the acting because who am I to give acting directions. I just want to say that we should feel that way the actors portraying the characters feel, and obviously I did because I felt totally disconnected with the characters.{okay, after seeing th movie I found out that Erich Segal had actually written the screen play before actually writing the book} I don't feel that it would be an insult to say that there should be a remake of the movie "Love Story" because with the technology and the acting skills of today's actors, producers and directors and what not, it could be great.

what's all the hype about?,
By Spike "Spike" (Needles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Story (Widescreen) (DVD)
The film is stilted, overacted, theatrical. The dialog delivery? It was like Oliver and Jennifer were reading from a script. When one hardly finishes saying something, the other is ready with a retort! "Brrrrrrk" it comes out! "Love Story" is not as boring a movie as it is... uh... phoney. You want to watch a real love story to get those tear ducts working watch "Waking The Dead" with Billy Crudup and Jennifer Connelly. Now that's what I call a good script, good acting, realistic and and heartbreaker of a movie.
