Richard Schickel TIME Magazine 02/12/2014
Is Brooke Shields truly obsession worthy? And can she carry, commercially, another movie about another kind of obsession? The answer is no. Go to Full Review
Variety Staff Variety 07/26/2007
A Cotton-candy rendition of Scott Spencer's powerful novel, Endless Love is a manipulative tale of a doomed romance which careens repeatedly between the credible and the ridiculous. Go to Full Review
Time Out 01/26/2006
As excruciating as the Diana Ross/Lionel Richie title tune. Go to Full Review
Kenneth Turan New West/California 11/03/2021
Endless Love never lets you forget what the book's sophisticated language lets you ignore: that our protagonists are a pair of shallow, spoiled teenagers. Go to Full Review
Diego Galán El Pais (Spain) 08/21/2019
The story is incoherent and wildly gratuitous. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

The original Endless Love is so bonkers it scored "Next Level" on the Mantzoukas scale and immediately won a place in my heart alongside Mariah Carey's epic, Gliter. Go to Full Review

Ronny K M @RT25416651 5d The movie was garbage. The parents in the film were creeps. Mom watching her daughter and her boyfriend banging in the living room. Then the stupid guy sets their house on fire. (guess she was bad in the sack) He goes to jail (hopefully met a few hot guys). Years later he gets out of the slammer. He's walking aroung the streets of NYC and the father see him and gets hit by a cab. Yeah. In the largest city in the world he see the old fire bug, I laughed out loud at the theather when this happened. At the end when that kid is back in in the slammer and Brook goes to see him, everyone was crying. I laughed again and said "This movie SUCKS". 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" was better. See more Nick S @nicks25 May 1 I understand it's not for everyone. However, I really felt the chemistry between the main characters. Brooke and Martin were perfect in my opinion. The plot was a bit far-fetched, but I was too caught up in the moment to care. See more Jon S @jonchristopher May 1 Turkey time. Oh well, the song is nice. See more Noel L @RT15930389 Feb 25 Extremely dated. A little romantic. Slightly inappropriate. Very depressing See more Vincent S. @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Jan 5 What a glorious train wreck of a movie! A howling classic and my favorite Guilty Pleasure, So Bad It’s Great, movie of all time. Give it to Brooke Shields for surviving this. It is so bad it’s hilarious, funnier than most 80s comedies. I hate myself for loving this! See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 28 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
