Young love is sweet, romantic, with some teen rebellion.

Absolutely delightful romance, so light of heart that it has the power to melt any cynic.

Diane Lane's talent was obvious even at age 14.

Like the rest of the film, Diane Lane is smart, pretty and charming in the most classical of senses.

A Little Romance is a remarkably sweet and gentle film. Thank you, Mr. Hill, for all of your work.

George Roy Hill...wasn't afraid to entertain his audience with a good story, likeable characters, and a little schmaltz.

Audience Reviews for A Little Romance

Super adorable. Two wicked smart kids, one French & one American, vow to "kiss under the Bridge of Sighs at sunset while the bells toll." When the girl, a super young Diane Lane, has to move back to America the two run off together with the help of Laurence Olivier. Teen romance and shenanigans ensue.
