The first time you see this movie it's possible you'll lose control of your bowels. I seriously laughed till I stopped. It's definitly a cheesy movie but I found it incredibly humorous. It's cool because it's not a popular movie. I know tons of people who don't like to have a good time and those people won't appreciate the humor. Teenage guys and diapered senior citizens will definitly like this one. It's well worth the money!

This movie really tickles my funny bone and it is definitely on my top ten comedies list (check out the excellent book by William Kotzwinkle... also known as "Jack in the Box"... it is a VERY funny memoir). This movie is definitely worth a rent or buy. It has fantasy moments that are kind of "Scrubs"-like, and it will give the right crowd a serious case of the giggles (and roll around laughs). Sure the movie is predictable, but you won't care. Watch it for the laughs (and universal childhood memories). This movie also features a great true to self performance by John Cameron Mitchell the future writer-director-actor of the awesome cult sensation "Hedwig and the Angry Inch". This movie was the first movie ever directed by Robert Shaye (who is now the Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of New Line Cinema... he helped to bring us the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Nightmare on Elm Street Series, and great hits like Frequency... he has since direct "The Last Mimzy"). An R-rated version is now available on DVD (the movie was originally PG-13).

Bought this movie for my hubby, so he could remember his dorky time trying to date during school. It was a nice movie to see at family movie night with the teenage kids.

This movie makes you want to go back in time and live in the 50's. You can identify yourself with each charater and their dilemmas. This movie is packed with non-stop laughter. The soundtrack is also a huge plus for those who enjoy the beginning of the rock-n-roll era.

I thought this movie was fairly well done. Sure, there were the requisite 50's cliches but I love them and I recommend this movie to anyone else who shares my sentiments. A highlight was the drunken foursome singing 'Earth Angel' around the piano. The soundtrack adds a lot to the movie if you're a fan of 50's music.

om sorry to tell you this, i bought this movie, one time before, new i paid almost 50 dlrs, i wasn't satisfied, i return it. i bought it again, same thing, it was scratch, and it was new, i dint want to go, to the same trouble again, so i keep it, im not a satisfied customer.

The Book Of Love is a great take you back type of movie exploring teen angst in a really funny way covering everything from the bully to the girl of your dreams to ther girl you probably should of been with in the first place starring Micheal McKeon (Leverne and Shirley Spinal Tap X-Files and Smallville)Its a great comedy suitable for all ages Im sure theres alittle part of all of us somewhere in this movie I highly reccomend this movie to anyone who likes to laugh and take a semi trip down memory lane all at the same time

Hard to believe that the guy in this DVD who plays Schank is currently a candidate for US Senator of Hawaii, but it's true.

This move is full of people who over the years have terrific stories about who they've become since then. Great movie, great director. I heard Brian Evans speaking very well of Robert Shaye on CNN when he was asked about his role in this movie during a political interview with Senator Inouye.

I forgot "Lenny" was in this movie, but he's cool in this.

A few years ago when i was surfing the internet i came across a review about rock n roll movies, there i found movie called book of love and i wanted it. Now when i finaly could get it dvd i wery happy. Its a great movie whit lots of humor and rnr music, so are you a fan of rock n roll, grate cars this is a movie fore you.

This movie sucked. Let's be real. Brian Evans, the singer, appears but naked. ONLY this good about it!
