Editorial Review:
Strife-torn America wanted a meat-and-potatoes romance in the late '60s, and the country embraced Erich Segal's slim, generic-sounding novel in a big way. It did so again for the film adaptation 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

Love Story [Region 2] Reviews:
love story
2009-12-09 -
This movie was very short and I remember it being much longer. I bought it so my son could see it since he lost his wife to ovarian cancer, but was disappointed because I remembered more than was on the disk.

good movie
2009-11-01 - good movie. liked it. excellent cinematography and of course the music is delicious. the plot, no matter how shallow it may seem was engaging when put in the context of other great aspects of the film.

Outstanding. Much more intelligent than I expected.
2009-08-20 - Beautiful movie that takes you back in time. Outstanding performances by the two leads bolstered by a strong script with very sharp dialog and banter. The movie had an excellent pace and length and wasn't mawkish for one second. Most incredibly, it made sense of the phrase "love is never having to say you're sorry". Big thumbs up!

The Romantic Story of a Decade
2009-07-06 - This movie ranks as one of the ultimate "date movies" of all time. Love Story, which stars Ryan O'Neil and Ali McGraw, has brought tears to the eyes of millions of movie lovers both young and old. It is Romeo & Juliet of a different type; class (economic) differentiation and youthful rebellion against parental authority. Beyond all of the angst of the story is the beautiful music of Frances Lai. The acting of John Marley and Ray Milland in supporting roles is well done. The message of the movie is timeless and it is a very worthwhile view.

Love Story
2009-06-10 - Yes, it's a time-dated movie, but a classic that still deserves the five stars that it deserved back then.
