Endless Love (2014)

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love . . .

[6/10 · 23 February 2014]

. . . the perky tail of puppy love is not very convincing as it endlessly wags the dog that is ENDLESS LOVE. This flick is like an after-school, sanitized, TV movie version of a ballsy story I once saw on a film channel which involved a bad boy burning down his girlfriend's mansion when her parents finally wised her up. In this dumbed-down remake, Alex Pettyfer's "David" is NOT a bad boy at heart--he's more like THE CATCHER IN THE RYE, constantly struggling to save the ADULTS around him from plunging over cliffs. When David's "Mr. Fix-it" can take a breather from that time-consuming duty, he fritters away his hours giving Gabriella Wilde's "Jade" remedial sex education tutoring, while instructing her that "all you really need is love" (and a couple cardboard boxes for spending those chilly winter nights on the sidewalks of Atlanta). I'm sure the sight of these two young hedonists glowing with first (and third) love as they panhandle would inspire their fellow Georgians to cough up enough coins to keep them in Krystal Burgers--at least until they turn 20.
