Product: Endless Love [VHS] (1981)
Rating: 1.0
Endless Therapy perhaps????
You have to be kidding! Maybe endless therapy is a more telling title!Though the book was an international bestseller the movie is only a shadow of what Scott Spencer wrote. Endless Love had the potential to be another Love Story but Franco Zeffirelli didn't pull it off. Perhaps the passage of time makes the film seem shallow and morbid in its sappiness but what comes out on the screen is two love-crazed teenagers driven to distraction. A 15-year-old girl is best off forging a solid core identity and not having emotional turbulence that young romantic love provokes. A 17-year-old boy about to graduate high school should be looking towards his future. The parents are as much to blame in the story line for their lack of guidance and misunderstanding about the overwhelming feelings teenage hormones have on adolescent minds.If you like sappy romance without the strength of acting, dialogue, and a decent story.... Endless Love is your tale. Otherwise ... just get over it. There are better told tales of the heart out there.Suggestions: Cinema Paradiso, Under the Tuscan Sun, The Truth about Cats and Dogs, and even that 1997 international blitzkrieg Titanic.
