Konterr Brilliant and touching

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

dirk-hofmans This is a movie we had to see with our class. Most of the times these movies were dull and boring, but then... they send us to "Jeremy". And I still am looking for a chance to see the movie again. I remember that they showed it on television in the mid 70's, before the VHS era. I recorded the soundtrack on compact cassette (inferiour quality, the recording was lost). I still remember however how the movie touched me, and I still can do the "horse-sound" by clicking with my fingers as Jeremy did. Does anybody know if this movie can be bought on DVD? I am looking for a copy since many years, but cannot find it in Europe anywhere.

shneur I am definitely no fan of love stories, but there is something very special about this one. Robby Benson portrays a young man who, while immersed in the ultra- (not to say pseudo-)sophisticated world of New York City teen life, manages to preserve a purity of character and honesty with those around him that is almost painful to watch. Somehow he does this without becoming either a nerd or a buffoon. I call the performance brilliant because I can't imagine that actor Benson himself could have been very much like this, though perhaps that's unfair: he has gone on to a quite respectable acting and directorial career. This was Glynnis O'Connor's first movie, and she is lovely as well as sensitive in a quite delicate role. Of course the theme of teenagers' vulnerability to the buffetings of the adult world they are helpless to control is what determines the plot, but in this case that is less of a political challenge than a device necessary to bring the story to its conclusion. I finished this movie feeling warm and rather good inside.

FieCrier I bought this movie on DVD in order to see it after reading about it in a book titled Shyness & Love by Dr. Brian G. Gilmartin. Seventeen of the people in that study saw the film more than twenty times in the theater, one saw it eighty-six times, and another paid $1,000 (that he could scarcely afford) for a 16mm print of the film! I can't say that I've ever seen a film more than twice in a theater, and that wasn't out of any great affection for those films, just that I'd seen them, and then a group of friends or family were going to see it and I went along.It is a nice movie. A shy high school sophomore develops a crush on a new girl at school, and with some help from a more outgoing friend and the confidence playing the cello gives him, he asks her out and they date. It's a pretty simple story, and probably pretty low budget, with lots of hand-held camera-work. It's nice, but I can't imagine watching it twenty times! Perhaps had I seen it when I was about the same age as the couple, I'd have a great affection for it.

ldkoke I love this movie. It's just a beautiful love story. Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor are just great together. I would definently recommend this movie to anyone. If you like Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor together check them out in Ode To Billy Joe.
