Endless Love | 2014 | PG-13 | - 5.3.5

When a young man and a young woman (Alex Pettyfer and Gabriella Wilde) meet for the first time after their high school graduation, their passion for each other is relentless; but because the young woman's father (Bruce Greenwood) has career plans for her and the young man is not up to par in his eyes, he throws roadblocks in their way. Also with Joely Richardson, Robert Patrick, Rhys Wakefield, Dayo Okeniyi, Emma Rigby, Anna Enger and Fabianne Therese. Directed by Shana Feste. [1:43]

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
