The story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart.

For those of you who are wondering if there is any defined approach to selecting the movies that I review for the movies, I have to admit that there probably isn’t. When choosing Endless Love at the friendly neighbourhood DVD store I was moved by how Ms Gabriella Wilde’s eyes looked on the poster.
For the record this is the remake of a 1981 movie starring Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt, Tom Cruise which was adapted from a 1979 novel written by Scott Spencer and according to the little that I have read about Mr Spencer’s opinion on the movies that where adapted from his novel neither are worth watching. But in my defence I had no clue that I was watching a remake of movie that was adapted from a novel so I will not be able to comment on the novel or the 1981 movie.
Granted this pretty much the stereotypical teen romance but it really does not try to be anything else, it’s the kind of movie that gives you a warm fuzzy feeling at the end. Maybe the filmmakers could have tried harder to make it so that this movie had fewer differences to the novel. But when has the movie ever been exactly the same as the novel?
