'Endless Love' Movie Review

I'm a major sucker for romance. Nicholas Sparks novels and movies are always such a tear jerker for me and its movies like such I simply adore. As cliche as the story is - never ending love, the one, forever & always, etc etc, i adore how these movies are able to portray love as such an impactful strength and magic and how these stories brings out the best in love - something that this modern world society doesn't seem to have nor understand anymore.

Endless Love (PG 13)
Endless Love stars Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike) and Gabriella Wilde (The Three Musketeers) in the story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart. 
Genre: Romantic Drama
Running Time: 105 minutes
Release Date: 13th Feb 2014

When I first saw the movie poster for Endless Love, I was like oh my god, I totally have to catch this because its definitely one of those epic love stories that every girl dreams of. I caught it on Valentine's Day and although it wasn't a major tear jerker, it was enough to warm my heart. A definite yes to all those love freaks out there.

Indeed it may be a very typical boy meets girl and falls madly in love story, I enjoy how strong the message of the never dying love of a young couple conquers through all madness even after years, is shown in this movie.

There's typical drama of parents thinking that the other half is not good enough for their own child, but I also enjoy the fact on how strongly the parents were a part of this story. Its amazing how the scriptwriters have wrote this movie in such a way where everyone is involved and I'm sorry I can't spill the beans much because it'll spoil everything for you.

I think what I really enjoyed about Endless Love is the fact that it felt very real. Its not that something like that had happened to me or what (I certainly hope it did, who doesn't?!), but how it revolves around 2 average students with typical real life families and friends and real life problems. Complete reality.

Movies such as The Notebook, The Vow, Dear John, etc, you know that it would never happen to you in reality. Or maybe, chances of that happening are slim. I could feel every anxiety and pain the characters were going through in Endless Love and obviously, Alex Pettyfer's character is totally dreamy. But of course with it being a typical Romeo & Juliet love story, this movie may come across as a little cheesy to those who aren't huge romantics.

So if you have yet to catch Endless Love, do catch it in the nearest theatre near you and of course for those who are attached, bring your boyfriends along so they can learn to be dreamy too heh.
"Endless Love means never wanting to let go."
