I don't care what anyone says this is a great movie. I saw it when I was younger and wish I could see it again, but I can't seem to buy it anywhere as it was made for TV. I think the problem people have with this movie is it isn't the '61 version they grew up with. I can understand that, but don't dump on a movie because it's not the one you grew up with. They're both fantastic movies.

a must for love story fans.

Any fan of the Love Story Genre of movies will want to see this. I understand that this version(tv one) is hated by many but as this is the version I happened to see, I can only speak for this version-RARElY have I seen a love story that touched me as this did. I wont give any spoilers but I will say this is not a comedy, it's a drama but a great one and one that will bring tears to your eyes and make you remember(nad yearn for) the days of innocense, first love and splendor in the grass.
Wonderful Adaptation Indeed.

This was definitely a great movie and worth watching. Usually I'm never too crazy about remake, but this adaptation stood beautifully almost as close to the original one. Loved the performances from all the actors and the setting was pretty good. Especially from Melissa Gilbert as Deanie & Cyril O'Reilly as Bud. Melissa Gilbert performance blew me away, but its nothing new b/c she's great in any role.
Luckily I got to watch this movie online. Since they haven't played this movie in years. I first heard it through my Mother who told me that she once saw it on the Romance Channel & loved it. Too bad they never repeated it. This movie is worth watching and doesn't let you down. I do admit that I still prefer the original 1961 version with Natalie Wood & Warren Beatty, but the remake doesn't let you down.
