You just kind of have to accept the dialogue and whatever else irks you and just have fun with it. Take it as an artifact of 1970 - As that alone I found it pretty interesting.

I liked this movie a lot more before I actually sat down to watch it.

The progenitor of the modern chick-flick, and boy does it show. All of the cheap tricks are here, the sappy soundtrack, the cutesy but empty dialogue, the contrived tragedy, everything you hate about modern chick flicks can be found in this one damn film. The only thing keeping this out of the red is Hiller's direction, which manages to breathe at least a hint of life into this maudlin mess. If love means never having to say you're sorry I sincerely hope the folks behind this hate me.

It's incredibly tempting to pick this apart, with its multitude of cliches, trite message and glossing over of pretty much everything of significance in the lives of these characters. Despite all that, I have to admit I liked it and its emotional core makes up for all the other wrongs it commits. I still couldn't help rolling my eyes at lines like "love means never having to say you're sorry," though.

I liked that this film did not even try to be anything else than what the title was promising. Both actors were fine and I liked the dialogue most of time. John Marley was brilliant as Ali's father.

The screenplay is pathetic. I didn't buy their "love" for a second and a lot of the dialogue is a joke. I won't lie and say it's not at least slightly moving, but I'm a bit on the sappy side anyways.

The script is terrible, awfully, completely terrible. Hiller tries to transcend the material and, while occasionally his camera movements are graceful, it usually comes off as desperate.

Nauseating dialogue and sickly soundtrack, too much.

A good cheesy campy romance, excellent for the ladies.

boy u can have a cheese fondue made wid de wholesome amount of cheesy crappy unneeded emotionally exhausting moments in here..grunt grunt grunt!

[SPOILERS] Bleurgh. I'm a sappy, romance loving kinda fella but God! I could not stand this. I hated the characters, I cared not a bit for either Ryan O'Neal or Ali MacGraw, which actually, is the only thing I found particuarly wrong with this, oh, the dialogue...yeah. The music and the scenery were great though, make the characters likeable if you're going to kill one of them off, beauty just won't cut it, sheesh. Oh, and; 'Love means never having to say you're sorry.' No, no it doesn't.

Many people hate this movie but I like it very much....I've affected by the first and last secene
