For the Very First Time

This made-for-tv disappointment could have been done so much better.Everything was way off. It takes place in 1960, yet 95% you can't tell because everyone talks like it's when the movie was made (1991). The costumes looked very made for the movie while they could have been authentic, and the accents (supposed to be Texan) were non-existent.The acting was alright, but the plot was a bore.Save your time and money and rent something worth watching!!

Honestly this movie was more moving than anything i've watched in a while. I think the way that Corin Nemec and Cheryl Pollak Play The parts so well I mean when i watched it i wanted it to last forever i wanted to watch it over and over again which i couldnt and it makes me mad. the only movies that have ever made me feel like this are the virgin suicides and tuck everlasting omg good good movies, but this movie this movie takes the cake it just blew me away, the only part that really confused me was the end i mean (dont read on if you have yet to see this movie) i think that honestly they should have gotten married or something but i think it was very touching that she named her daughter michelle. michelle being the woman form of the name micheal. and how he re-instates the fact that she only wanted to be his best friend if not more when they first started out she said "you're gonna be my best friend" and at the end he signed the book "to mary margaret my best friend love michael" BRILLIANT BRILLIANT WORK! i give it two thumbs up and trust me if i had more thumbs i'd give it more!!!!

I first saw this movie several years ago, when I was still quite young, yet I was deeply interested in the plot line as well as the characters. The age-less tale of romance being torn apart before it has even had a chance is classic, and the makers of this film do a superb job in creating an appealing atmosphere to the viewer. About 6 years after I had first seen this film, I was flipping through the channels on TV and my attention was drawn to the actor who plays Michael - Corin Nemec (a hottie by my standards). The casting and acting in this movie was great. If it had been out in the theaters, I am sure I would have paid my $7 to go see it. My only complaint is (an if you are going to watch the movie for the first time you might not want to read on) that if these two young people were experiencing true love, why would they only have written to one another for one year and stopped?

I believe that praise is deserved for this movie which I feel was well written and beautifully acted in. This has become one of my favorites. And although i read somewhere that there should have been accents in the movie because it took place in Texas, I disagree. Not everyone in Texas has an accent. I really think this was a great movie and it seemed very believable of the era it was portraying.

Caught this movie on French afternoon tv. Quite nice to watch like many telefilms. Normally i like films set in a modern time but this 60s yarn with youthful love elements was cool to watch with many twists and kept you rooting for the characters, especially the lead characters.
