"Endless Love", is about two young teenagers who fell madly in love with each other at first sight.
The original "Endless Love", was an early 80's movie, which had a similar concept. This was a lot different than most reproductions of original movies, which is actually good, as the original "Endless Love", was nothing to write home about.
I'm not even sure why they had to have any correlation to the original movie, as this was a totally different plot than the original. But, for some reason they used some of the original screen names, and there was a fire, and the young female was riding on the handle bars of a bicycle, being driven by her boyfriend.
Both Alex Pettyfer and Gabriella Wilde give a pretty solid performance as the young couple. Pettyfer plays the sensitive boyfriend and he looked a lot more comfortable in this role than in his previous performance on "Magic Mike". Gabriella Wilde shows a lot of emotion, but she comes off as a little naive. I thought Robert Packer, who portrays David's Father, was the most convincing as a single parent that is very supportive of his son.
Overall, I'm glad this was not a replica of the original.
