Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

alanross43 A single father of two, Bob Morrison - a talented composer of musical ditties for commercials learns that the love of his life in his college years - Jennifer Corely - is also still single. Bob reconnects with Jennifer, sparks fly again and the love between them rekindles. But as in many love stories, the flames flicker and seem to die. But, as in life, where there's love, there's hope in this story. This is a sweet, yes perhaps sugary, story. Nevertheless, I find the music to be powerful, moving and wonderful. The story is heartwarming, hopeful and can become very familiar for those of us who seek "the one" in our lives, and may have to wait for years to find her/him. I rate this film near the top of my all time favorite movies mainly because of the beautiful and moving music, but also because of how the characters care for each other, and are kind and thoughtful to each other. This care and thoughtfulness is seen in interactions between the men as well as between men and women. Watching, you can see how kind and thoughtful they all are to each other. Sadly, I find sorrow in the fact that the very talented Joe Brooks' life ended so badly and sadly. Perhaps he was still looking for the "Jennifer" in his life. He was a talented but perhaps lonely man, who left us much too early.

rbass418 Saw this movie back in the mid-80's on HBO just as I'd gone to work for a medium-sized advertising agency. The best parts of this film are the ones where Joe Brooks has to pitch his music to clients and deal with them in the recording studio along with their ignorance and complete lack of knowledge. As a jingle writer and producer, Joe knows this dynamic very well, and as portrayed here, it's dead-on - the most accurate and honest part of the film. It's extremely relatable if you're in the advertising business. Joe Brooks probably has a hundred stories that are just as funny and inane as the ones presented here, maybe enough for an entire film. That might wear thin pretty quickly, but it would more entertaining than the bulk of "If Ever I See You Again."

bndtp I liked this role for Hack. She needed to play it low speed because she did not trust people, and she did just that. The music was sensational and the concept of finding a love years later was very romantic. Hack has a wide range. There was also a good match of Hack as a college student (another actress) while in some films it is not believable at all. The California coastline is a great backdrop for this love story. You also get an inside view of the music jingle industry and that is a riot. I am a big Hack fan. She has a vivacity that shows through and that is refreshing to see. She plays an artist, and I understand she did her own painting for the role!

judilee325 finally! this film gets no respect, which is unbelievable to me...i saw one review by a member who commented on the beautiful score and how romantic this film really is! this movie had a huge impact on my life, as it's pretty much my life story...i too had a sweetheart in my youth who lives back East and i live in California just like Jennifer Corly...his name is even similar to Bob Morrison's! i can't watch this movie without becoming totally entranced and still think about my lost love often...the music is just beautiful and so moving and joe brooks is funny and charming...shelley hack is very lovely and does a great job with her winning smile and poignant tears as she says goodbye instead of goodnight in LA...well, i'm going back East in March and we'll see if maybe one can go back again...i may even move there, since i can't seem to get him out of my heart...it's been a part of me since i was 16 and the strangest thing is the movie came out a few months after i met him in Disneyland and i flew back to Boston to see him shortly thereafter...we've been trying ever since off and on...
