Something about this movie was extraordinary and beautiful. Its genuinely pure and genuinely innocent. If you can handle that kind of stuff you will love this movie. I first saw it in 1989 and it is still one of my all time favorites. The quality of the dialog was well scripted and the story was very watchable, simple pure and something in this movie brought me back to my adolescence and I could relate to not only the memory of those experiences, but the feelings of those memories, and this movie really understood the sensitivity and struggle of those times in the lives of young teenagers. Diane Lane was so special and beautiful, she really helped this movie to be something special.

I just watched the movie "A Little Romance" tonight and loved it. It is a beautiful love story of 2 teenagers. There is a little bit of everything for everyone; romance, adventure, travel, intrigue. It has a great cast of Laurence Olivier, Sally Kellerman and a very young Diane Lane; however I especially loved the young teenage boy actor, Thelonius Bernard (French?). He was an excellent actor and it makes me want to know what else he has done since 1979. I originally wanted to watch it because it was filmed in France and Verona and Venice, Italy, but the story alone was well worth it! My sister lives in Verona, Italy, and I will be going to Italy for the 1st time this April! The movie tells a beautiful story and the scenery isn't bad either! I think it would be great to see a 2005 movie continuation of where it left off. This movie would be enjoyed by young, old, male, female!

This movie is very special to me. I saw it with my first girlfriend. I thought, "Wow, they made a movie about me." This is a truly amazing movie. Sure there are contrivances but really the romantic angle works.

This movie has everything, philosopy, romance, adventure, love, discovery of self love and France. Who could ask for more. It has a wonderful cast. Diane Lane is absolutely wonderful. Sir Laurence Olivier is just fabulous. The rest of cast is a wonderful collection of oddballs and nuts that are done superbly.

There is no overt sex, no violence but the movie manages to do very well without those things. It makes you wonder why they can't make more movies like this anymore. It is a complete movie. Thankfully they did not make a sequel to this one. It stands on its own. The test of a good movie is that after it ends you care and wonder about the characters. This movie really makes you wonder what happened after the movie ends.

Did she write back? Did he find another love? Will they find true love? Very few movies I have seen ever made me wonder what happened after the end.
