Teenage problems intertwine during the occupation of a high school in Rome. Silvio—much like his peers desperate to lose his virginity—wants to make his move on the girl he likes, despite her being already his friend's girlfriend and not knowing that her best friend harbors feelings for him—while clashing also with his parents, onetime Sixties radicals who look down on the kids' aimless political commitment.

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
andrabem "Come te nessuno mai" is another teen film among so many. It could easily be an American teen film, only it's spoken in Italian, and politics plays a more important role than in their American counterparts (there's no left x right in the USA - American teenagers, as portrayed by American films, are more concerned with status and clothes. But politics is not really important for the story of "Come te nessuno mai" - it is just a game played by these children of well-to-do parents. If they were in USA they would be cheering for a basketball player.Another significant difference between "Come te nessuno mai" and its American counterparts is that the acting is much better and the romantic scenes have really a romantic feel.All in all "Come te nessuno mai" is entertaining, funny and sometimes moving, but it is a disposable movie - it's easy to see and easier to forget.Maybe one day there will be a director able to give a deeper portrayal of the teen world. Teenagers are not the cardboard figures usually shown in the teen films. They deserve better films.
jaydee_84 Many of you who will watch this movie will not understand it. Yes, it is a very simple movie on the surface: young kids live their lives through school, love, troubles, and coping with growing up... all this is great, but you need to understand the culture. This movie was made in Italy, Rome to be exact which is very important. I saw this movie for the first time when i was in high school in 1999... i went with my friends from high school (by the way i'm from Rome too) and it was like seeing images from my own life. The divisions between clothing explained at the beginning of the movie are very real and go deeper than just what you wear, but what you believe in and what you stand for. The taking over of the school is not an excuse for sex, as other people have said about the movie, but is a way of showing that we matter, (yes i have participated in two of these myself). As it said in one part of the movie "I don't want to look back and see I've made crap of my life, like everything has been already said and done". That's why they do it, because they want to matter... the sex and love just come with the growing up and coming to terms with one's life. Even now, as a twenty-something I still look back at this movie (which has been released in America under the name -like forever in my mind-) with melancholia and joy that i could have my youth portrayed so realistically and truthfully as in this movie, no one could have done it better. Too bad many of you might not ever get to really appreciate it beyond the simple story it's telling.Check out also the movie "Ovosodo".
gradyharp COME TE NUSSUNO MAI translates from Italian to "like you anyone ever" or one's first experiences in life are unique solely to you, never having been experienced by anyone in history. BUT FOREVER IN MY MIND is simply a quote lifted from this film about the agonies and ecstasies of adolescence and to fully appreciate the story from the adolescent aspect, the Italian title is far more appropriate.As written by brothers Gabriele and Silvio Muccino (also Gabriele directs and Silvio stars) this radiant little film covers a day in the lives of Italian highschool kids caught up in a youthful rebellion against their school's policies while at the same time sorting out the nascent changes in their burgeoning sexuality. The boys languish over their expected, anxiously awaited first physical encounter while the girls (at times on split screen just to make the comparison more strongly) relate their feelings about first time encounters with the boys. The two stories run parallel: student riots involve the police and of course eventually their parents, the two sources of authority the kids naturally challenge, and the taste of honey one of the boys achieves which becomes a gossiped, bloated misdirected moment of braggadocio that eventually leads to the serendipitous beautifully innocent discovery of teenage love.The young boys include Silvio (Silvio Muccino) and his talkative confident Ponzi (Giuseppe Sanfelice), the one sexually active lad Martino (Simone Pagani) while the girls include the experienced Valentina (Giulia Carmignani) partner of Martino, and Claudia (Giulia Steigerwalt), Silvio's longtime friend who dreams of a relationship beyond friendship. The remainder of the cast (especially Enrico Silvestrin and Giulia Ciccone who are splendid as Silvio's 'ex-hippie' parents) is quite strong. The parallel between the physical rebellion in the school incident and the hormonal rebellion within this collected group's bodies is a true sense of cinematic metaphor and makes for a fast-paced, humorous, touching coming of age story that is a joy to watch! In Italian with English subtitles. Grady Harp
dariofabbri A good movie that reminds everyone of the belief that what we live ( especially when we're adolescents) is new, unreapeatable and too intimate to be divulged, analyzed and explained to or by other human beings.And even if it's not that true, the outcome is that at least it's not phony that it's worth living. This is the translation of the italian title: literally "like you anyone ever", which means that your experiences when lived for the first time seem to be unique, solely faced by yourself and anybody else prior to you. Every adolescent goes thru a row of "Life facts" that will forge his personality and affect his mind in the years to come: that's what the flick is about. The way the director paces around these growing-up issues is delicate and cute, even if not shallow: important the clashes and approaches between the young main character and his parents and other two siblings (one elder and the other younger who looks "dead" but in the end will help him out opening his narrow mind) that remark the generational ditches but in the meantime render clear the identity of the way teenagers deal and have dealt with their "towards maturity" process. The scenario is profoundly italian ( western european but not american at all ): political fight into a high school, bourgeois educated households that have lived the years of politically led protests and now have become at the eyes of their kids too stiff, severe just like their school principals. Silvio lives,during the warped days of the occupation of his school,first make-out sessions, walks the rotting paths of a friendship wrecked by the raging adolescent hormones towards the same girl and at the end learns to recognize his young soulmate (or kinda). Great and hilarious the bonding scenes between Silvio and his more mature brother, between Silvio and his male friends and the girls of the school ( regarding sex, drugs, Politics and so on ). Just one flaw (if we wanna be pernickety and picky): No soundtrack. Same year, same issues but faraway from American Pie.
