C-

A needless followup to Love Story in which we are asked to weep for poor Oliver Barrett despite the fact he looks like Ryan O'Neal, will inherit millions from father Ray Milland and makes love to Candice Bergen. And you think you have it rough?

The film is more arid than a desert. It's a boring valley of tears. [Full review in Spanish]

John Korty manages to turn a borderline ridiculous and absurd story into a cinematographic entity. [Full Review in Spanish]

"Oliver's Story" was an unnecessary sequel for "Love Story". "Oliver's Story" was an unnecessary sequel for "Love Story". The movie tries to relive the death of Jenny which made the first film an overhyped classic. Too bad that it did it to a fault as the audience would find it difficult to feel sympathy and pain for Oliver, who now has everything in life.

Fairly satisfying as a sequel, but far too weak to stand on its own. Altogether unremarkable in every way, really.

A lack luster sequel to Love Story. This story is boring, and not worth telling if you ask me. I suggest just watching Love Story and forgetting about this stupid sequel.
