Review: I saw this movie years ago when it was a made for tv movie and loved it!! I was about the same age as Jesse at the time and had a huge poster of Rex Smith on my bedroom wall. I can still sigh and sing "You Take My Breath Away" every time I think of him!! This is an awesome coming of age movie every young girl should see!

Summary: One of the best movies ever!
Review: Like many others my age, I LOVED this book and movie in the 70's. I was around the age of the girl in the movie, and loved to fantisize I was her. I've looked for this over the years on TV, but was thrilled to see it was released in DVD. Turns out, when I was 17, I met an musician 13 years older then me. We've been married 17 years. Although I was a little older, watching this now, is like watching my past. This movie is a love story that never gets old.

Rating: 5 stars

I remember seeing Rex Smith for the first time and falling in love with him.The songs in the movie are great. For anyone who is a true romantic please see this movie, with someone you love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I am so glad this movie was brought back...
Review: so fans could watch the magical love story of Jessie Walters and Michael Skye. I recently ordered the DVD version and can hardly wait to get it! This movie came out as an ABC after school special when I was 15 years old and I was instantly smitten with Rex Smith and his sexy, shy portrayal of Michael Skye.

This movie holds a special place in my heart because it mirrored my own life. I know exactly how Jessie feels when she falls for an "older" man. All ages will enjoy this movie thoroughly. I have watched my VHS version several times now and cannot get enough of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: NICE.....!
Review: Somewhere I read that a viewer rated this movie as having 10 stars, in part because of what it was about, but mostly because of how it made them feel. And how does it make me feel, like I am thirteen all over again. As Jesse puts it, NICE! This little gem of a movie has stayed with me for years and I surprise myself on how much of it I remember. I only saw it once 26 years ago and I still remember it as though I saw it yesterday.

I have read from other comments that it was viewed as a afternoon school special in 1979. But I recall that it was shown on prime time the year before. One of those movie of the week things. I had kept, for almost 10 years, the t.v. guide clipping of the film so I know the year of the original release was 1978. On the clipping, Michael's age was written down as 19, not 17. I don't know if that was a T.V. guide error or if it was the original age his character was suppose to be and they later changed it because the age difference was larger. Sadly, the clipping is long gone, having been discarded a few years after college when I cleared my stuff from my parents place.

Watching the film again brought me back to the end of eight grade when I first saw it. Being the same age as Jesse in the movie, I was just months away from turning 14. Unlike the movies, I wasn't lucky enough to get a gorgeous, rock star, boyfriend, but it was and still is fun to see how Jesse got hers. It's a rare film that lasts through the years and changing times and still packs an emotional wallop. The message remains the same. Your first love, will always be the sweetest, most fondly remembered moment.

I just ordered the DVD of the movie, as well as the three books (Sooner or Later, Waiting Games, Now or Never) since I only discovered they are now available. I read from other viewer comments that the third book ends abruptly, leaving the door open for a fourth book? Seems the story of Michael and Jesse is not yet over. I hope Bruce and Carole Hart will heed our plea and conclude the Michael and Jesse story with a happy send off.

The songs were wonderful, "Simply Jesse" being my favorite with "You take my Breath Away" a very close second. It's a film you can watch again and again. Though dated, it's appeal is still strong. A nice glance back to our teenage years during the late seventies, early eighties, when Shaun Cassidy was the latest hottie, station wagons ruled the roads, and feathered hair was the look to die for.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jesse + Michael = TRUE LOVE
Review: SWOON!
Watched this fab teen flick last night for the first time in 20 some odd years and felt like a teen again!!
Rex Smith is DREAMY! And Denise Miller is a perfect incapsulation of nearly every teen I knew in the 70's/80's.
Ironic that the subject of a 13 year old and 17 year old having "romantic relations" is the stuff of Jerry Springer and Montell Williams talk shows...but for most of us it's just a part of growing up.
I think there is a sequel to this...but I can't find any info on it! I wanna see how their relationship progresses!!

I'm so happy this came out on DVD!!!
=^..^=

Summary: Guilty Pleasure
Review: This is definately one of those guilty pleasures. I saw this movie so many years ago, and I couldn't believe that it is available on DVD. This story reminds me of all those crushes I had when I was a young teenager. How could you not love Rex Smith when he sings to Jessie?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must see for the first time...or AGAIN!
Review: This movie definitely goes down in the ranks as one of the best teen films of the 70's - and all time. Anyone who has ever had a first love will relate to Jessie, and it was especially poignant to those of us who saw the film when it first came out and we were Jessie's age ourselves. While some movies lose their luster as we grow older, and we wonder why we ever thought they were so great to begin with, this one is just as touching and "swoon-worthy" as it was in 1979. Plus some great trips down memory lane! Embroidered jeans, butterfly collars and even a glimpse of a Shaun Cassidy poster! I loved it so much, I even had to dedicate a web site to it!

A must see for the first time...or AGAIN!
