Watch Endless Love For Free

So much average

Powerful

Just perfect...

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Shy Jade Butterfield (Gabriella Wilde) is a social wallfower who graduates from high school with no close friends. David Elliot (Alex Pettyfer) has admired her from afar. With encouragement from his father Harry (Robert Patrick) and best friend Mace, he tells her. David and Mace are country club valets. They go on a joy ride with Jade and promptly get fired. Jade asks her parents (Bruce Greenwood, Joely Richardson) for a party and invites the entire class. The Butterfields are wealthy while David's father owns the local garage. David tries to ingratiate himself with Jade's father but various issues drive him to oppose the relationship.Romances should not be this hard to make. This is a lot of romantic cheese. Gabriella Wilde is really beautiful and has the characteristics for the role. Alex Pettyfer has survived on his pretty boy looks for far too long. His character is not completely appealing and he doesn't make it better. The cheesiness can be made appealing if done correctly. This is not close to that.

This is a terrible remake of a (1981) movie that was, itself, a terrible adaptation of a good novel. It comes across as a very cynical attempt to cash in with a pretty, banal, inoffensive love-story (released on Valentine's Day) designed to appeal to undiscriminating teenage girls. When I saw that a newer version of "E.L." was going to be on TV I really wanted to watch it, thinking that it might be a more faithful adaptation of a book that I had enjoyed. I knew within the first 30 seconds that I wasn't going to like it. The film starts with David and Jade graduating from high school as virtual strangers. In the novel, David is 17 and Jade is 15 when they begin dating. The fact that she is only 15 years-old is what makes the intensity of their relationship so disturbing. This film version also throws in several "dramatic" elements not in the book; a Butterfield family tragedy, a juvie record for David, and a (different) car accident. The family dynamics that were so interesting in the novel and did so much to explain the motivations and actions of the characters have been completely revamped and simplified here. Instead of being the son of two middle-class, Jewish, communists, David lives with his single, mechanic, father. Instead of being the daughter of hippie-ish, pseudo-intellectual parents (who misguidedly allow her relationship with David to blossom out of control), Jade has typical bland, wealthy, patrician, teen-movie parents. The novel, by Scott Spencer, was a powerful, sad story of obsession. This adaptation has been reduced to a trite poor-little-rich-girl/poor boy romance with mean, wealthy daddy as the obstacle standing in the way of the young lovers. In the book, it is Jade herself who realizes that her relationship with David may not be appropriate and who requests a trial separation that drives him to desperation. Movie-Jade being 18 years-old kind of negates the whole Daddy-is-trying-to-keep-us-apart thing. I'm not quite sure how Hugh is able to file a restraining order to keep David away from Jade when she is legally an adult.The two main characters here are attractive, blank slates. We really never learn much about them except that they are instantly smitten and in looove. They don't seem to have any interests (other than each other), hobbies, or ideas. We're told that they're smart because she's going to med school and he has high test scores but they don't really do or say anything that demonstrates their above-average intelligence. Jade, who seems to have never had a boyfriend before (and would thus be a virgin), has sex with David on the 3rd day of their acquaintance, before they've even been on an actual date. He has dinner with her family and she invites him to return to her house later, when "all the lights are off", and blithely has sex with him in front of the fireplace as if it's something she's been doing her whole life. There's no nervousness, no hesitation, just an ecstatic smile on her face the whole time. I realize this is supposed to be the stuff of teenage fantasy but, um, birth control? STD prevention? The physical pain of a first sexual encounter? No, it's just easy, uncomplicated bliss. In the book, Jade swipes her mother's diaphragm (having no other means of contraception) for a painful first time that could possibly have gotten her pregnant. A little odd, perhaps, but a lot more realistic than completely glossing over these issues as if they don't exist. I recently learned that the teenage daughter of an acquaintance of mine was pregnant. I couldn't understand how such a seemingly bright girl could fall for a boy telling her that "it'll be okay" to have sex without using birth control. Maybe this book-smart but naïve girl has watched too many of these lame, irresponsible movies? Just follow your heart! Don't worry about anything! Love conquers all! It'll all work out in the end! How negligent of the filmmakers to include a scene like the one mentioned above in a PG-13 film targeting impressionable tweens and teens. It's not the fact that there's a sex scene that bothers me, 13 year-olds know what sex is. It's the way it's presented, the casualness of the whole thing. Having sex with a guy you only met a few days ago is just fine and don't worry about the possible consequences because there aren't any. If you're really in love (with a guy you just met 5 minutes ago) you won't get pregnant or get a disease! Again, it's rated PG-13, not R. What else? There's the one-dimensional characters. There's the sappy montage of what Jade and David think will be their last 2 weeks together. There's the gag-worthy, pat, happy ending.In the closing narration Jade describes David as "my first love." That would seem to imply that he is not her last love which flies in the face of the previous 142 gushy minutes (not to mention the title)! Just go read the book, don't watch either film version.

Endless Love is one terrible romance movie directed by Shana Feste and starring Alex Pettyfer and Gabriella Wilde. Starting from the acting to camera-work this movie is so poorly done and so cliché that it's so hard to sit through. I personally like some of the Nichola Sparks adaptations to the big screen and going into this movie I thought that it would at the very least be bearable and a bit interesting but no,it is really boring mixed in with terrible acting and characters that are simply unlikable. I predicted the ending very early on and not just that but also predicted most of the "twits" that occurred.It also almost put me to sleep and I seriously wanted to stop watching a couple of times but I had to watch till the end to see if all the clichés are fulfilled and so they were. This is one terrible,boring,uninteresting and at the same time it has terrible cinematography plus really bad acting all along.Would not recommend watching this for any cost whatsoever so just stay away as much as possible.

obviously, this is not your choice if you're not into chick flicks. Obviously. So don't take the negative comments seriously if you like movies like The lucky one, Safe heaven and Dear John! They are not meant to be that deep and full of secret meanings. Yes, the acting isn't that phenomenal, but that didn't bother me, it was good. Actors were a sight for sore eyes and the story line was actually pretty good! All put together it was definitely worth watching for! This (as the others above) will make you cry if you are the crying type. So enjoy! Perfect choice for girls night. Classic chick flick from beginning to end
