What critics compared Endless Love to
“Endless Love,” a remake of the 1981 movie starring Brooke Shields, itself an adaptation of the 1979 novel by Scott Spencer, is here to make you fondly reminisce on those first tender days of youthful relationships.
When I was 11 years old, I snuck into Brooke Shields’ R-rated 1981 feature, Endless Love.
"Endless Love" isn't so much a remake of the 1981 Franco Zeffirelli film as it is an extended ad for the idyllic Abercrombie & Fitch lifestyle.
Endless Love is based on a novel, but its story bears little resemblance to either that book or Franco Zefirelli’s 1981 film of the same name.
Widely derided upon release, 1981’s Endless Love nevertheless clicked with audiences, spawned a classic Lionel Richie-Diana Ross duet and gave eye-catching early roles to James Spader and Tom Cruise.
Unlike Franco Zeffirelli’s notoriously over-the-top 1981 filmization of Scott Spencer’s novel, Shana Feste’s “ Endless Love ” seems less a misguided adaptation than a deliberate, flat-out rewrite.
