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

I was very pleased the quality of the movie and the expedient service. Thank you!

DON'T BULL $ # I T ME!
'Love Story' was the talk of the town in it's day, but the years have not been too kind to the film. The story of the rich man meets poor girl is interesting enough, but the dialogue is a bit dated. O'Neal and MacGraw are appealing, but both characters have feeling of inadequacies that make them slightly irritating. In the end, the love between them is believable and heartfelt, insuring the finale being quite sad. The film score is so recognizable, it's like the definitive score for romance films! Look fast for a young Tommy Lee Jones! The DVD has a good transfer and the extras are interesting.

In Love With Love Story
I love, love, love this movie. This movie had my attention from beginning to end. It is a true love story and an example of a happy, healthy relationship between a man and a woman. I am not a professional movie critic, however, I know great cinematography when I see it, and "Love Story" is definitely great cinematography.
