Wordiezett So much average
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Marilyn North I was a young, innocent, unbelievably naive and hopelessly romantic girl when I first watched this movie. I only saw it once late at night (no VCR's back then!) and never had the chance to see it again until very much later in life (now in my forties, married and with kids - and STILL hopelessly romantic!).Ahhhh, young innocent love. Pure and simple. Rex Smith empowered this movie with his animalistic sexy good looks and that unbelievably dreamy, smooth as silk, melt in your mouth voice of his - (Lord help us all!)Every young girl's fantasy.Fast-forward 30 years later and his "essence" continues to overpower the female senses. In one word, timeless. Every young girl should have the opportunity to see this movie and feel that special feeling that only he can ignite. Dear Rex: Please know that you are loved for your amazing ability to make girls and women of all ages feel that tingly, exciting, feeling of pure romantic innocent love (and dare I say it, lust?) We love you. Thank you for making this film and leaving a permanent mark on all these women who never had the chance to meet you in person but can't help adoring you.Rex has cast a spell on all women. It's true. He can't help it. He was born with it! And, women can't help loving him for it!Marilyn N.
annew101 OK -- i had to hide from my parents to watch this when I was 12 -- and I think it's why I have what my friend calls "RSS" Rock Star Syndrome!! ha! I'm 40, and still love these long haired musicians - geez, what's wrong with me? Actually, NOTHING. This was what I wish our girls these days could hope for.... I still do.... But seriously, these were simpler times, no internet, all that... I would love to go to the mall and see a fabulous guy like that. Always wished it could happen. What's funny is, I'm a librarian, and people will pay literally a fortune for the sequels to "Sooner or Later". Like $50!!! Embarrassingly enough, I probably would too. Well... what a great movie and book. It will always take me back to that time - seriously, felt like a 13 year old again. Yay!!!
BATBontheCW This movie is a true 70's classic! If you are / or have been a 13yr old girl, you have dreamed that you could be Jessie and have the experiences she has in this movie!! Every girl dreams of the perfect guy and Micheal is as close as it comes! It is pure fantasy but it is so entertaining that you can't look away! I saw this movie in 1978, bought the soundtrack on LP and then all of Rex Smith's albums! I am a true fan and this movie is an all-time favorite!Imagine "Michael Skye" writing and singing a song just for you! Stars that glisten, Lips for kissing, Honey listen, It's true, No one ever, Loved you better, Love you Honey, I Love You!! It's too good! The parents are so out of touch, it's funny, they are on the right track but a little too late! At least they have raised a pretty good/smart girl and she can take care of herself. Caroline is too cute as the best friend. And Karen, although she is not in the book, is a good addition, because she adds a layer to Michael that makes him more adorable because he resists her and holds out for Jessie, his true love!
greymysticalwolf I seen this movie as a young teen, and fell in love with the movie and the books. I recently purchased 2 of the 4 books to read and be 15 again and remember all of the emotions you go through as a young girl. I'm 35 yrs old and just found the movie on DVD and had to have it. Michael and Jesse are what ever girl dreams of having with a hot looking older guy!!!! I still do. However, I'm married to a wonderful man. But there is always a place in my heart for my first love Michael Skye (Rex Smith). This movie is a MUST HAVE -- MUST SEE. Anyone with preteen,or teen girls will want to watch this with them. Young love .......... first love. It is a movie that takes you back to your first love. It did for me.
