Reviews

lobotomyboy63 I had been waiting for this to come out on DVD but I don't know if it ever will. Then I happened to find it on youtube. The book is a real gem. I've read it many times. I have my own ideas about who should play the various characters and so on. If I only had the money to finance the production, right? So it's just a question of how far this falls from the ideal.Short story long, this drops the ball. Too much nuance and delight are lost. I guess I'm glad they made the movie to bring it to a larger audience, but you really need to read the book.If all you can do is see the film, do so. But the book is out there. Take the time.

rancook-4 Only saw it once on TV a few years after it came out, and I still think of it (more than 40 yrs later) for the Richard Thomas character dealing with moving to a new and much different town, having problems adjusting, or rather the natives of the town adjusting to him, and the admiration his father earned from a close friend. The end of the movie is really touching. I will have to get the book. It does compare well with Summer of 42, and actually feels more realistic. Someone else commented that they could not get it on videotape. I guess we are all "dating" ourselves. Well, I wish I could see it again. With over a hundred channels, why can't the Hallmark Channel or Family Channel pick this up, oh yeah they are too busy airing the family classic, Pretty Woman.

raymayberry Too bad this movie is not playing in an era where it could probably do the most good. In an era where the 'me first and to heck with everyone else',is prevalent and even encouraged. This was the most moving movie I have ever seen.I saw it when it came out and never forgot it.I am 49 and saw it on a cable channel three weeks ago. I believe people of all ages should see it but people today probably could not relate to the story line because most of the films that come out during this era are mindless violence, sex and crime ridden 'action' movies with very little to no thought provocation. This movie was very underrated then and it is now.

gjohann For 70s completest and those who have nostalgia for it. Had really looked forward to this one after seeing a bunch of the photo stills and reading all the positive reviews. Finally saw it on IFC recently and found it to be real disappointment, Richard Thomas does an almost laughable job of acting. An OK period piece with some interesting moments and nice cinematography, but certainly not worthy of the raves it often gets from those who are remembering their reaction to it back in 1971 rather than the film itself. There are so many great lost films of the 60s and 70s-and then there are some pretentious clinkers-this falls into the later
