Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Strife-torn America wanted a meat-and-potatoes romance in the late 1960s, and the country embraced Erich Segal's slim, generic-sounding novel in a big way. It did so again for the film adaptation of Love Story in 1970, starring Ryan O'Neal as a law student who defies his rich and powerful father (Ray Milland) on every issue, including the former's love for a music student (Ali MacGraw). The two marry, start life together ... and then the Grim Reaper turns up at the door. Directed by Arthur Hiller (The In-Laws), the film ends up lacking the kind of stylistic boost that might have made it a must-see for the ages. But its faithfulness to the book's uncomplicated and, yes, moving intentions is pretty solid. O'Neal is convincing as a nice guy who's as bullheaded in his own way as his steely father (a nice job by Milland), and MacGraw has a way of getting under one's skin. A viewer just has to try not laughing at the refrain, "Love means never having to say you're sorry". --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Compares 2 U, 13 Sep 2008
A brilliant film with a moral message that is as true today as it was when the movie was made.
The grass is not always greener...and you will live to regret hurting the one person who really loved you!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars so sad!, 12 Jun 2004
By Jenny (Jersey) - See all my reviews
I have to say that if anyone is even the remotest bit sensitive then this will make them cry! My mum and I were both howling by the end of the film!

As it has been described as cheesy, I must say that I did not find this a cheesy film. It is very sweet and romantic yet it is not one of those predictable films where the girl gets the guy and they live happily ever after. I believe that this is quite different from the usual stereotypical romantic films.

If you love soppy, adorable, romantic films, then this film is definitely a must.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pure cheese, 3 Mar 2004
By C. Leenhouwers "claireann82" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No offence to the other customer reviewer of this film but why were you surprised by the ending? The opening line of the film is 'What do you say about a 25 year old girl who's died?' It's obvious where the film will end up. I watched this film because it has been called a classic and one of those films that every girl needs to watch at some point and cry her heart out. Sure it is sad I won't deny that but the 'love story' is really not that amazing and the acting isn't superb. In fact I found it rather tedious. I must apologise if I'm offending any fans of this film who watch it just to cry but there are much better ways to spend the evening. Perhaps in the 00's we've become far more cynical about love. In the 70s I'm sure this was a beautiful, powerful, believable film. Not for me though.
