Although this film is very sad- it makes me cry everytime I watch it- it is also classic and beautiful. I could watch this film every week and still think it is amazing.

What Parents Need to Know
About Love Story
Parents need to know that some of the dialogue is peppered with mild expletives. Although Jennifer supports Oliver in law school, she promptly gives up her musical aspirations to be a housewife as soon as he finds a job.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how death and dying are portrayed in films. Was Jennifer's death portrayed realistically? Families who have experienced the dying and death of family member might compare that to the movie. Why do movie makers make death and dying either seem idyllic, as in this case, or gruesome, as in horror movies? Would you like to see movies that portray death realistically? Why or why not?

Classic Tearjerker!
Love Story is the legendary tale of two polar opposites finding solace in eachother. I found this movie very appropriate for kids my age (I first saw it when I was 12, and loved it!). Evertime I watch it, I always find myself balling, however, I am an emotional person, so most people my age probably wouldn't have that problem. There really isn't anything objectable within the film, only a sex-scene and a little language. Five out of five stars!
