FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

thewubbelupagus This is a movie I saw for the first time many years ago and have always thought had a unique quality to it. The actors are great, even the kid who plays the younger brother is truly funny. Some of the comedic moments are classic, and the slightly bizarre fantasy elements bring something fresh to an otherwise fairly straightforward story. I hadn't seen it in many years, but just re-watched it and found it every bit as amusing and fun to watch as I did a decade ago. The cars, music, radio broadcasts, fashions, doting mother, and faceless father all evoke a 50's nostalgia on a par with A Christmas Story.If you want some light entertainment, give this movie a shot. It's got great moments, a cute story, and wonderful atmosphere.

Michael O'Keefe A Bob Shaye film that has very little enlightenment to absorb. No hidden message to ponder. BOOK OF LOVE is fun to watch and that's about it. A divorced Jack Twiller(Michael McKean)receives a message from a former high school girlfriend which causes him to pick up his 1956 yearbook...then the memories of adventures and misadventures of puberty, love, sex and his school pals begin to roll. The teenage Jack(Chris Young)moves to a new town and immediately is befriended by Crutch(Keith Coogan). He is smitten with the class bombshell Lily(Josie Bissett), but she is busy being squired by Mr. Hotshot Angelo Gabooch(Beau Dremann). Oh. the trials and tribulations of a sex-driven teen. With Lily being untouchable, Jack makes a last minute date to the prom with Angelo's little sister Gina(Tricia Leigh Fisher).Sounds of the era keeps things rolling; tunes by the likes of: The Platters, The Diamonds, Little Richard, The Moonglows and The Wrens. Also in the cast: Danny Nucci, Aeryk Egan, Jill Jaress and John Cameron Mitchell. BOOK OF LOVE is pretty pale next to other coming-of-age flicks like say...DINER. Good watching though. Prop your feet up and grab a tall cool one...then enjoy.

caspian1978 I enjoyed this 50's based coming of age comedy about love. I don't know about you, but I didn't see this at the cinema. I guess like everybody else, I saw it when it came on pay per view. Looks like a right to video winner. A fresh, young, and highly entertaining cast. The story has a little bit of "Porky's" style, but, who cares? That's what makes it an enjoyable movie.

Kektokio Deep down I really hoped this would be good. But unfortunately I was disappointed once again. This movie was just like every other 80's/early 90's teen flick, boring and predictable. The only difference here was that it was based in the 1950's (which in my opinion, makes it worse).If you're into those same-old-thing teen flicks, you may like this. But if you're into modern teen flicks (like me), you'll probably hate it.
