Am I Missing Something?

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

There are plenty of reasons to remake a movie. Even the movies which were good in the first place. Would we say that no one can revive a Broadway play because it was so good the first time? Should a Beethoven symphony never be replayed because we have Bernstein's magnificent recording? We remake originals because we feel we have a new take on them. (Shakespeare thrives on that.) If the original was forgettable (or even forgotten), a remake will probably be easy (although not necessarily any better). But if the original was very good - or at least very memorable - a remake will be quite a challenge. The original Endless Love was controversial - either good or bad, depending on who is describing it - but it certainly was memorable. It was melodramatic and very much a soap opera - but it made the most of what it was. This remake fails the challenge. It remodels the guts of the narrative without retaining its bite. The original was dark, even risky. This is just sort of vanilla, if a bit anxious. I like Alex Pettyfer's work a lot, but he shouldn't have been cast as David, not because he couldn't act the role (he did well with it) but because he was too old. David is supposed to be just graduating high school and too shy to approach fellow senior Jade. Alex was coming off his very buff role in Magic Mike. He looks tall, dark and handsome. No way he wouldn't have had girls - and boys, too - all over him. Jade would hardly not have noticed him. The original - with David being 17 and Jade 15 - didn't face that problem. When producers secure the remake rights to a film, they pretty much can do whatever they want. But that doesn't mean it will work. This remake doesn't make it as a feature film. As TV movie which wasn't titled Endless Love, it might have fared better.

This remake of a 1980's Brooke Shields' romance film lives up to its title, Endless Love. Alex Petyffer and Gabriella Wilde make a very sweet, romantic, and above all believable young couple here, their chemistry is so undeniably real. The acting here wasn't cheesy like I expected it to be, it was believable and authentic. Joely Richardson and Bruce Greenwood are awesome additions to the cast too, they are dramatic and you can really see how the situations and different going on that happen throughout the film affect them, in both good and bad ways. Joely was actually one of my very favorite parts of the entire movie, she's just so great in her role, as she always is in her other movies. Bruce is very good too, he carries his intense scenes well and with great passion. This movie basically is cute romantic escapism entertainment, not a whole lot more than that, and that is not a bad thing, at least not in this film's case. The sex scene between Wilde and Petyffer is very well filmed, romantic, and delicate too, exactly how it should be. 8/10 for Endless Love!

Just saw this film today and i was surprised of how good it turned out i'm not a big fan of love stories since we all know that a character is going to die or the couple is going to separate for some reason. The cast was full of really talented people Alex Pettyfer, Gabriella Wilde, Robert Patrick, Bruce Greenwood, Rhys Wakefield, Dayo Okeniyi, Emma Rigby and Joley Richardson. And i'm very glad to see Robert Patrick to a great role again because he hasn't been in a lot big movies or good ones since T2. It has a lot of drama and good performances to overcome the love story thing and as a remake is actually a pretty good one. Definitely worth your time!!!

obviously, this is not your choice if you're not into chick flicks. Obviously. So don't take the negative comments seriously if you like movies like The lucky one, Safe heaven and Dear John! They are not meant to be that deep and full of secret meanings. Yes, the acting isn't that phenomenal, but that didn't bother me, it was good. Actors were a sight for sore eyes and the story line was actually pretty good! All put together it was definitely worth watching for! This (as the others above) will make you cry if you are the crying type. So enjoy! Perfect choice for girls night. Classic chick flick from beginning to end
