Like any movie remake, Endless Love will be continued to be critiqued by fans of the original film from 1981. Endless Love is a classic romance movie that has its fair share of drama and teenage love that is able to overcome anything that comes in its way. Endless Love begins by introducing David the sweet popular boy and Jade the quiet outcast still mourning her brother's death at the high school graduation. Jade comes from a wealthy family who is willing to get her anything for graduation.

All of the above is proof enough that this movie should be able to provoke emotion out of even those who do not enjoy love stories. It should provoke emotion because this movie covers all kinds of tragedies.
The reviewer then goes on to say that the two actors
