That was really a nice one
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...

Better than average tragi-drama
I was greeted with surprise by a friend when I recently said that I'd never even heard of Love Story, so she insisted I had to see it. For likewise uninitiated it concerns a couple who meet at Harvard from different ends of the social spectrum - she's poor, he's rich - and forge a relationship against all odds. When the girl contracts cancer though they find their love...

That was really a nice one, Juil 18 2004
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. I watched "Love Story" because my dad said it was his favorite movie of all time and that it's the only movie he's ever went to the theatre to watch twice, so I thought that it really had to be a good movie. I did like "Love Story," even though I wouldn't call it one of my favorite movies of all time....I'm more the action, sci-fi, comedy, and horror movie type.
"Love Story" is good because it seems realistic, just like two normal people who are real different from each other might act in a real life relationship. Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw brought their acting skills and used them in this love story of a movie. If you like love stories, I recommend purchasing "Love Story."

Love means never having to say "great movie", Mars 16 2004
I just watched Love Story on DVD - the score of the film is so memorable and on DVD it sounds great. The sweeping romanticism of the music just makes you get into the story even more.Ryan O'Neal's acting was really great in this and he was very handsome as well. It's hard to believe that after this movie he made so many bad ones. (including the sequel to Love Story) Ali Macgraw is so lovable and wonderful in her role as well. This movie is often a target for ridicule. It is often pointed to as sentimental and saccarine. This is far from the truth - their romance is full of zest and energy. He even calls her a b*tch a couple times. It is not over the top except for the most famous line "love means never.." etc - that is a little cringe worthy. The direction is great - the locations awesome and the acting solid. No matter how many times you see this movie the end hits you like a ton of bricks. A whole box of tissues! Great movie!

Once in a Lifetime, Fév 7 2004
Love Story is the once-in-a-lifetime love story between a rich Harvard hockey-player Oliver Barrett IV (played by Ryan O'Neal) and smart-mouthed Radcliff gal Jennifer Cavilleri (played by Ali McGraw). In the movie adaptation of Eric Segal's best selling novel, these two socio economic opposites overcome extreme obstacles to be together. From their first encounter to the end of the movie viewers are spellbound and in awe of how fiercely they fight to achieve the goals. At every turn a new obstacle, with every success a struggle, a must see for the romantic at heart. Director Arthur Hiller does a fantastic job of capturing young love on the big screen.

my favorite movie in the world, Janv. 17 2004
Par Un client
All I can say about this movie is I loved it. Some people may see it is a tad cheesy and not realistic, but I totally disagree. It may be bittersweet towards the end, but that is what truly makes it a great film.

A big stick of pink cotton candy, Janv. 7 2004
A friend recommended this movie to me, and I must say that I was disappointed. First of all, I'm not sure who came up with the theme for the movie: "Love means never having to say you're sorry," but that's ridiculous. Love means being willing to say you're sorry. Thankfully, that phrase was only repeated twice that I can think of in the movie.
I think the plot of the movie is occasionally cute and sweet, but not particularly memorable or original. It has appeal to a certain extent, but it is certainly not a film to which I had a genuine, deeply felt response or to which I give much artistic merit. Granted, there were some scenes that I enjoyed, but overall it was sort of like eating a big stick of pink cotton candy. It was sweet and fluffy but it dissolved really fast and had no lasting effect.
Also, the storyline felt forced and constrained at times, and I thought the fact that that Oliver called Jennifer a few days after they'd met and professed his love was a little unnatural.
I also got kind of irritated by Jennifer's constant smartmouth comments. Sometimes they were funny, yes, but they when they became relentless they were overbearing.
I don't know how the book ends, but I felt like the movie ended awkwardly. I was left with a sort of hopeless feeling, like nothing had been gained from this entire melodramatic experience. I mean, Oliver's relationship with his father wasn't even resolved. He just spits that same stupid line in his face ("Love means never having to say you're sorry") and walks away.
I did enjoy the music in the movie and the different variations on the theme. That part was well done.

Tear jerker, Déc 24 2003
Erich Segan wrote a short little book in the late 60s with a short little title - and scored big. The film adaptation in 1970 was equally successful, a heartbreaking romance that seemed to be just what the country needed at the time.
Ryan O'Neal plays a law student who married Ali MacGraw (both of them looking impossibly young and innocent) against the wishes of his rich and powerful father (Ray Milland). Then comes the diagnosis of MacGraw's leukemia, and the rest is history. It's uncomplicated, sophisticated, moving, and definitely a tear jerker. Don't miss it; it'll get under your skin and you'll want to watch it again.

no-na-na banana boat DVD & Turkish Delight, Aoû 21 2003
Par Un client
The acting is weak? Maybe, but the relationship is realistic, romantic, & the film works. Why does it work? Because the central relationship has true chemistry & is unsentimental--it's the tragedy of the unsentimental relationship being cut short by fate that makes the film itself a sentimental tearjerker. McGraw isn't Ellen Burstyn & O'Neil isn't Robert Mitchum but what matters is that this is a story of a relationship that has chemistry, a real one, whether or not you believe O'Neil goes to Harvard, etc. For the best satirical remake of this film in a more raunchy Euopean style check out the Dutch film "Turkish Delight" by Paul (Basic Instict/Robocop/StarshipTroppers) Verhoeven. And by the way, "Turkish Delight" was also a huge hit.

Something You Should Spend Some Time On It., Jui 21 2003
The major reason makes me interest in this book and DVD was my Dad. This movie
was shot before I was born. When I was a little girl, I saw Dad watching this movie every time when it was shown on TV. My Dad is kinds of the action movie type. I was surprised why he loved watching this movie. So, when I was in the video store one day, I decided to rent the DVD to see what made my Dad to watch a love drama. Just like my father. I am totally devoted to the movie. I bought both "Oliver's Story" and "Love Story" and finished reading in one afternoon. For me, I like the Love Story more than Oliver's Story. The 3/4 part of the Love Story was a pleasant story. Both of them loved each other very much and would like to sacrifice for each other. For Oliver's story, it's all sad and how Oliver couldn't forget Jenny. Love Story is very well written. I highly recommend you to read it.
