The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's too bad, too, because the idea had a lot of potential. It just needed a better script, better songs, actors who could actually act and a director who knew what he was doing.Mostly though, this movie is an exercise of ego for one Joe Brooks. He directs, he acts, he sings, he produces. Presumably, he also cast Shelley Hack, whose last name pretty much sums up the state of her acting ability, in the lead female role.Where to start? The acting, if it can be called that, is an abomination. Shelley Hack is leaden and Joe would be lucky to be so good. He plays a jingle writer who aspires to greater things. Judging from the music, he's found his niche with jingles. It has a certain Barry Manilow light quality to it. Imagine hell being trapped in an elevator for all eternity with muzak playing Joe Brooks greatest hits, and you'll begin to get a taste for just how bad it gets.Especially when Joe starts to sing. When Joe made "You Light Up My Life," the first decision he made was to dub Didi Cohn's voice with Debbie Boone's. Would that he showed as much sense here. Somewhere out there, cats start to howl when Joe sings.The bottom line, watch if you must, but remember to bring a book to read. It's two hours of your life you'll never get back

I've seen this in 1978. I've really been there and done that, myself. How True! Lost a Soul Mate at age 17 (1967). Found her in 1976 (age 26), Lost again in 1986 (age 37), found again in 2001 (age 51). We both saw the movie in 1978, again 1980 (HBO). We'll see MY video from HBO, soon. We both know the real story, it's us. We agree, this is it. WE won't loose each other again (both age 55.5). Each time I see it, since 1986, I always get choked up. Even tonight at 9:30 PM (EST) (12/19/2004), It was harder to relive the truth, of the plot and lyrics. It wreaks, of ME. Facts are Facts. You don't realize, until you loose it. In the meantime, we share the same feelings and a 22 yr. old Daughter. That will help us all be together. we NEVER say, "Goodbye". WE SAY, "GOODNIGHT". Questions?

I was dumbfounded at how bad this movie is. So bad it's good. My brother thinks this is the worst movie ever and watches it over and over again for the camp appeal. SEE THIS MOVIE.

Dull, predictable lifeless story about a widower who gets a second chance at love with an old college flame after a chance meeting. Good thing his wife died, huh?Joseph Brooks probably figured "You Light Up My Life" packed 'em in to theater's so why not build another film around another one of his syrupy songs? Problem is the song is even worse than "You Light Up My Life" and Joseph Brooks doesn't make for the best leading man. There's absolutely no chemistry with Shelley Hack who looks bored throughout.You've been warned.
