IMDb 6.9 Metacritic 84 RT 65%

Love Story is a classic tearjerker that still hits emotional notes, but the mixed critical reception (RT sits at 65%) suggests it's more of a rainy Sunday comfort watch than a must-see event. If you're in the mood for old-school romance and don't mind some melodrama, go for it—just know you're choosing nostalgia over critical acclaim.

Plot

Harvard Law student Oliver Barrett IV and music student Jennifer Cavilleri share a chemistry they cannot deny - and a love they cannot ignore. Despite their opposite backgrounds, the young couple put their hearts on the line for each other. When they marry, Oliver's wealthy father threatens to disown him. Jenny tries to reconcile the Barrett men, but to no avail.
