Editorial 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 iLove Story/i 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 (iThe In-Laws/i), 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". I--Tom Keogh/I

The first time i watched Love Story was just a couple of months ago, and for me it's simplicity is the key to it's beauty, such a simple story line told in such a way, that it evokes an emotion so strong it could break the heart of the coldest demon. It tells the story of Oliver Barrett IV and Jenny cavelleri as two students, one from an extremely wealthy background, and the other from rather pooer background, and the story shows love discriminates against nothing, it shows that when two human souls connect nothing can keep them apart. They meet at college, fall in love and marry, but the film takes a heartbreaking turn, Jenny is ill, dying in fact, oliver is destroyed. That's the film in a nutshell, sounds very narrow and thin, but i advise you to watch it as the chemistry between the pair and the beautiful script really do make this one of the warmest, charming, thought provoking and saddest films of all time. BRILLIANT ROMANCE February 9, 2009 Arthur Daley (LONDON) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This is a BRILLIANT film so dont waste time reading this review just go out and buy a oopy. br /I promise you wont regret it. A heart wrenching tissue box movie May 13, 2001 jsyedu658@localdial.com (Jersey, Channel Islands) 3 out of 6 found this review helpful The first time I watched this I did not expect the ending, I was swept away by the true love, rose tinted spectacled type love that every young girl dreams of. Just when you whole body is swept by emotion, and a warm glow of happiness, suddenly it all changes. A dramatic movie acted well by Ally McGraw Moving Drama December 23, 2007 Stan Ford 3 out of 6 found this review helpful A moving film that is a must for those who have lost in love and for those thinking of cheating. br /In this film a man loses his wife to cancer - and he never recovers from the loss. br /Watch this film - look at the person you are with - and tell them you LOVE them and that you will NEVER leave them. br /Being in love is better then being rich - and that is the moral of this brilliant movie. Tearjerking Tragic December 29, 2007 The Critic 3 out of 6 found this review helpful A moving film about true love and devotion...anyone considering ending a marraige or having an affair - should first watch this movie - and discover what it is like to lose your partner. br /Life is too short to ruin it by being selfish and thinking only of yourself - and that is the moral of this movie. br /THE GRASS IS NOT ALWAYS GREENER and you only find true happiness and real love - just once - if you are LUCKY.
