Forrest M @RT32281296 Jun 29 "Love Story" tells the story of romance between the rich aristocrat Oliver Barrett IV and a middle-class Jennifer Cavelleri. In it we get to see cliched themes. The death of Jenny from cancer was used for emotional manipulation for the viewers to feel sorry for their romance in the end as well as to basically cheer for basically an uninteresting lovers Oliver and Jenny. It was an overhyped film that unknowingly promotes cancer more than than romance.

It's somehow comforting through all the pain. Anyone who doesn't love this was never a real preppy See more Ron R @RT76285883 10/09/2024 In some ways a romantic story worthy of the title. But the overall quirkiness of Ali's character is overdone. The overall alacrity of the way in which Oliver dispatches his father who clearly loves him is so tragic leaving him utterly destitute emotionally is just unbelievable. Tragedy on many levels, and yet a beautiful love story. In the end Oliver's inability to redeem himself is the worst of all. Honestly I think it's just a bad script with a lot of potential in the back stories. See more Finn I @RT83318454 04/05/2024 I enjoyed the movie! My only complaint was I thought it was quite abbreviated at the start and end. I would have liked to see more of them meeting each other initially, and also more of the difficult scenes at the end. See more John U @wbbcmt 02/27/2024 I just saw it after all these years and wish I had not. The acting is abysmal. Storyline is weak. I know it's a great tearjerker, but it's a terrible movie. It is a good tearjerker and just saying that is a buzz kill, but that's the only good thing to say about this movie. See more Read all reviews
