Steve Warren The Barb (Atlanta) It is pretty good. May 9, 2023 Full Review Jacoba Atlas Los Angeles Free Press The Other Side of the Mountain triumphs over its own emotional base and becomes a powerful testimony to individual strength and the value of life. Dec 4, 2019 Full Review Bernard Drew Gannett News Service There are those who will weep and be inspired and feel that this is the Love Story of 1975, which, in a way, it is. And then there are those, like myself, who didn't much care for Love Story in 1970. Oct 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

steve d It WANTS to be Love Story, and Love Story was no classic. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Un culebron aceptable que vi en la tele cuando era un chavito, y que 35 anyos despues vi con mi reina y princesa :) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This was Universals biggest hit in 40 years. A supreme grief fest, it's almost as good as Beaches! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the "older" movies that is so worthwhile. :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I've seen parts of the sequel to this on TV, but as usual, the sequel doesn't compare to the original. This movie is bittersweet and a must see for anyone. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member ABC must have used this as an afternoon special in the 1980s. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
