Ryan O'Neal gives the character of the neon scion a warmth and vulnerability entirely missing from the bestseller.

The only really depressing thing about Love Story is the thought of all of the terrible imitations that will inevitably follow it.

Hiller earns our emotional response because of the way he's directed the movie.

Although the relationship between Oliver and Jennifer remains one of the best ever produced, [it] lacks excitement and tension that are primary ingredients for any movie.
