Endless Love movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Wesley Morris, Grantland: This remake has almost nothing to do with Spencer's novel. It's the kind of film you make when you've run out of Nicholas Sparks books. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Shana Feste's endlessly lame "Endless Love'' remake turns the obsessive sexual heat way down from the infamous 1981 Brooke Shields vehicle - while also tossing out the tragedies of Scott Spencer's acclaimed source novel. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Alas, the movie just went on; not quite endlessly, but almost. Read more
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club: The plotting -- significantly more tame and less convoluted than that of the 1981 Franco Zeffirelli original -- is cliched and facile, with David as the heartthrob so perfect that even his criminal record serves as proof of his moral fiber. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: The film isn't bad as far as these things go. A lot of it is due to the cast, as the leading couple create some believable sparks. Read more
Peter Keough, Boston Globe: [An] air-brushed, simple-minded remake ... Read more
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader: None of the players exhibits much personality, but it's hard to fault them, given how thinly the characters have been imagined by screenwriters Shana Feste and Joshua Safran. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: A movie just begging to go up in the flames of camp. If only somebody had brought a match. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: If the movie works at all (and I think it does), it's as a swoony love story threatened by a basic, cornball Oedipal drama. But for a film that's coming out on Valentine's Day, that more than passed as respectable. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter: A blah 1981 film becomes a bland one 33 years later in Endless Love. Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: Wilde has one of those faces cameras love, thus her other career as a model. There are suggestions in "Endless" that she might have acting talent too. But the director rarely asks. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: There are remakes, readaptations and reboots, and then there is "Endless Love," a movie that bears almost no resemblance to its source material whatsoever. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: This is supposed to be a movie about obsession. Instead it's just cupcake meets beefcake, with a big glass of milk on the side. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Shana Feste's flatly generic update manages to make Franco Zeffirelli's gauzy 1981 romance look like a masterpiece of psychosexual intrigue. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: This new "Endless Love" doesn't have enough going on to make it memorably terrible: Banality is its gravest sin. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: A jaw-dropping groanfest of teen romance cliches ... Read more
Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com: "Endless Love" isn't so much a remake of the 1981 Franco Zeffirelli film as it is an extended ad for the idyllic Abercrombie & Fitch lifestyle. Read more
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: Why does Hollywood continue to starve audiences longing for a good romantic tearjerker? Endless Love didn't have to be this godawful. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: The real victim in all of this is Spencer, who is still writing books and must watch his tragic novel about dangerous obsession and true heartbreak get mangled anew every two generations. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: A box of Valentine's Day sweets that's rather too sugary, "Endless Love" goes even milder than the campy, nougat-filled 1981 Brooke Shields version. Read more
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: This stinker is only good for endless laughs. Read more
Trish Crawford, Toronto Star: Endless Love tells the story of star-crossed lovers, beautifully. Read more
Trevor Johnston, Time Out: Pettyfer and Wilde (both Brits) look the part in a soft-drinks-commercial way, but their characters might as well be called Ken and Barbie for all the depth they bring. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Might as well be one long montage of yearning gazes, tender kisses and lovers splashing in sundry bodies of water like playful otters. Read more
Heather Baysa, Village Voice: A sunny, overlong pastiche of tropes, the kind that suggest love involves nothing more than holding hands and jumping off a dock into a lake, or having slow, teary-eyed sex in front of a fireplace, inexplicably blazing in mid-June. Read more
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture: Endless Love lives up to its name. It's purgatory. Read more
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post: What does this new version offer? A different set of actors, a Valentine's Day release date and kissing. Lots of kissing. Kissing in place of character development and dialogue, even entire kissing montages where a meaningful plot should be. Read more
