CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Jithin K Mohan Where Do I Begin theme track is the best part of the film that still holds this film up above most of its copies that were churned out over the years and it never goes too melodramatic either. But the film could have taken some more time for establishing the characters and the relationship. Although not as good to get the numerous Oscar nominations it got this is still a very good film that became a template for the chick flicks.

Solnichka McPherson The film is kind of dated at this point, and everyone knows the plot whether they have seen it or not. However, watching it today is still an emotional experience. All relationships are different, and the quirky communication between the two main characters is often strange (albeit irrelevant, since you do see the love between them well enough). The side plot with the Barrett family adds to the character buy-in on Ryan O'Neal's performance, even if it's clear he can't act a lick. How did he get nominated for an Oscar here? McGraw isn't much better, in truth, but whatevs. The story is as timeless as "Romeo & Juliet", in essence: love torn apart way too soon. If you're not crying at the end, you're not human. As noted, the film could use more development to show the true love between the characters, especially in the beginning of the courtship. It is funny to see "Jack Woltz" in a different role here, and he's pretty good surprisingly. Overall, it's certainly worth seeing once just to say you've seen it, but after that, it can go back on the DVD shelf forever.

az95 This review is going to be brief, because what can you say about a movie about a girl who died when she was twenty five? Only that it had meticulously-crafted cinematography, witty dialogue, honest performances from O'Neal and McGraw, a perfect score, and a clichéd story line that deserved none of that. But I enjoyed the movie nevertheless, probably because I'm around the same age as Jenny in movie's exposition, and I too enjoy Mozart, Bach...and even the Beatles. I'll also add (since IMDb asks that I add more lines to this review) that I'm a big fan of Ryan O'Neal's, so pretty much any movie he's in, I'll enjoy. I'll also add (perhaps unnecessarily) that he retweeted me today and it sort of made my life.

PrometheusTree64 I'm in the middle on this. I can't deny LOVE STORY is pretty bad. Ali's bad, the script is mediocre. Blah-blah-blah, it's all true.But the era is the key to its appeal and perhaps it helps if one was alive (and remembers) at that time.The snow scene essentially saves the film --- largely because it evokes the lost, bittersweet, melancholy mood at the cusp of the '60s and '70s (much as the urban street montage sequences in MIDNIGHT COWBOY or the first season opening theme of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW did and do).The world actually felt that way at that moment in time. Otherwise, yeah, it's kinda crap.
