3.0 out of 5 stars Music is a very important element, February 12, 2004

By	Micheline Harvey (Québec, QC Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I loved this movie when I was 15 and still do. I hope to watch it with my daughter in a couple of years. What really disappointed me was the fact that they changed the music for several scenes. Not only the Bellamy Brothers Let Your Love Flow that played over the credits, but the lovely and haunting Oh My Love by John Lennon that played when Angel went to the cabin with Randy as well as others were replaced by some very boring and unknown songs. To me, music is an integral part of a movie experience. This let me down.

2.0 out of 5 stars Movie is still great, changing the music isn't!, January 1, 2004

By	Wii Play Evrii Day - See all my reviews

Wow, it's been years since I've seen this movie and it's still funny and very touching, but why on earth did they change the music? I hate that they took the Bellamy Brothers song from the end credits and even worse? They took out John Lennon's "Oh My Love" song which was a haunting part of the movie during that scene in the boathouse. They ruined the re-issue. ARGGH!! That stuff is all part of the nostalgic charm of that movie, in my opinion. When it comes out on DVD, I sure hope they restore it back to the original way it was. I don't like this VHS version at all because of the changes, so I'll be reselling it eventually.

5.0 out of 5 stars When will it be on DVD??, April 4, 2005

By	jeffery phoenix (San Antonio, Texas) - See all my reviews

C'mon Paramount, you have to release this on DVD. I know the video was re-released sometime in the 90's, but DVD quality is so much better. Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal do an awesome job as they battle each other over the loss of their virginity, but to their friends demise, the two become good friends. The movie has a lot of taste and certainly reflects a "sign of the times" from 1980.

Oh, and when it gets released, per previous reviews, I hope they reinstate all the original songs, such as the end credit song "Let your love flow". I know you can do it, "The Pirate Movie", (another Kristy McNichol favorite) was finally released on DVD, and I sure jumped on that one, so now I am ready for this one to be released! It's a must.
