Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Sandwiched between Slap Shot and The World According to Garp, George Roy Hill made this effervescent film about first love. A sharp American girl (Diane Lane, in her debut) and a film-loving Parisian boy (Thelonious Bernard, in his only film) fall innocently in love. When the girl's zealous mother (Sally Kellerman) goes ballistic, the young couple fall under the spell of a curious gentleman (none other than Laurence Olivier), who plants the seed to make their love last forever: to kiss under a Venetian bridge at sunset. As the love story becomes an adventure with the young lovers crossing France and Italy, Allan Burns's Oscar-nominated script and Hill's deft touch turn this into a romance for the ages and a movie to smile about. George Delerue's Oscar-winning score and the picturesque European scenery don't hurt either. Ages 7 and older. --Doug Thomas

Rating:  - A little romance
A very boring movie, sorry I bought it! Would not advise anyone to buy it!
Rating: - A jewel of romance, don't miss it!!!
A Little Romance is an enchanting film, where we found one of our favorite actresses, Diane Lane, on her debut at the tender age of 14.
The movie is a romance, the first love of a highly intelligent and precocious young woman, daughter of a woman that changes husbands as she changes shoes.
Lauren falls in love with a Parisian boy who sees too many American movies, so many in fact that he has learned to speak the language and can quote the likes of Robert Redford and Humphrey ... Read More
Rating: - The Sweetest Movie You Will Ever See
I fell in love with this movie when it first came out, and have followed Diane Lane's career as she grew up in the movie business ever since. (I noticed in Unfaithful that she runs the same way she did as a girl.) I've enjoyed having VHS and now DVD copies of it to share with my children as they grow up, and they have fallen in love with it, too. George Roy Hill makes it work on so many levels, esp. the use of music which he did so well in Butch Cassidy and The Sting. The little affecting parts are ... Read More
Rating: - A beautiful little gem!
This is one of those beautifully filmed and well-acted movies that stayed below radar for me these past few decades, only to be recently discovered whilst browsing through my Netflix rental site. What a gem! Diane Lane in her acting debut does an excellent job in her lead role as Lauren, a 13-year-old intelligent, wise beyond her years girl whose affinity for books is shared by a French boy played by Thelonius Bernard. They share similar philosophies and interests and when Lauren's mom throws a fit about ... Read More
Rating:  - Simple, beautifully done
This is a movie with a simple plot, beautiful images of various places in Europe, a beautiful score featuring the guitar concerto in D by Vivaldi and a wonderful performance by Sir Lawrence Olivier.
