4.0 out of 5 stars Dey and Katt Sizzle, July 7, 2006

This review is from: First Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Although the plot of this "First Love" story is fairly routine and forseeable (boy meets girl; boy gets girl; boy loses girl), the stars make it more than worthwhile.

I'm not sure how much of the pivotal scene is shot using a body-double for Susan Dey (not much, I think), but it's actually irrelevant. When Ms. Dey divests herself of her dress for the first time for Katt, it's a revelation!! (No pun intended). Her pure eroticism is utterly incredible for those only familiar with her work in Partridge Family or LA Law.

The film runs towards it's predictable denouement, but the whole package is well shot, well acted and incredibly well directed. If you can find it, buy it! It's worth your time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bittersweet, Sad Love Story, October 23, 2005

This review is from: First Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Talk about a movie that tests your emotions. It was sad and it had a lot of truth to it as well. Susan Dey, William Katt, Swoozie Kurtz and Beverly D'angelo have never been better than they are in this movie.

At times it may be a little bit racy to watch with the kids (16 and under), but it teaches the older children about first love and the heartaches that do come with it. I liked this movie and at times it almost brought a tear to my eye.

Watch it for some fine acting and a look into the many pains of first love.

5.0 out of 5 stars The true Love story, December 1, 2010

This review is from: First Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When I first saw the film I loved it.William Katt was wonderfully naive and sweet while attempting to win the heart of a brat. The music was so sweet as well. I wish I could find that one song that was featured. The price of this film is ludicrous. Why doesnt the company that released this film able to convert it to dvd and sell it for a decent price?
