Amor joven

I saw this film after reading the book and loved it just as much. There are many things I enjoyed about the story/film such as the music, love and the cross town New York bus rides on a Saturday morning. Bus it was the way Jeremy raced other people in the street as if he was in his own horse race-this may sound silly but worked really well and Robby Benson pulls it off in a brilliant touching way. It shows a boy/young man in his own world finding someone who loved him for what he is. The wonderful cello music holds the story together and is not heavy-handed which it could easily have been with a lesser cast and director.

I would love to have the DVD and hope when it comes out there are plenty of extras such as location info and (lots)interviews.

I was a 12 years old when I saw "Jeremy" - here in Brazil, the title was "Susan and Jeremy - the first love". I remember I loved the movie, I cried a lot. Unforgettable is the soundtrack. After that age (today I'm 37), I've never seen this movie again, but - sometimes - I catch myself singing its song ('The hourglass song', I suppose). I'd like to see it again.

If you like love story, watch this movie. The simplicity of this film is beautiful. The song "Jeremy" is great.

I watched this movie when I was 13, four times, in São Paulo... Needless to say, it had a great impact on me. I searched the record stores for it (and was sneered at, it was not "in" to like such a teen-movie!...), and found it! But it was lost (I suspect my brother!). I had piano lessons, at the time, and I asked my teacher to write down the title song for me (which he did)... That's how much I liked the film! Today, I'm 44, and found my way here, to this site, thanks to "Jeremy"! I very much would like to have a copy of the sound track. If any body has it, please, drop me a note! Check this movie, and, if you succeed, tell me how to find it!

I saw this movie in the early 70's, when I was 15 or 16. I was living in Peru, at the time. There was a girl my age that I liked a lot, that I took to the movie and we both identified with the main characters. I remember that you could get the theme song (record, 45 RPM) under the title "Blue Balloon Song" or something along these lines, from a local record label. The theme song was very popular and was played often by the local radio stations for several weeks. I am tempted to track her down and ask if she still has the record. This movie was recently released in DVD. I watched it again after 30+ years. This time with my wife and children. It was a big hit at home. Simple but enjoyable plot, very entertaining, pretty clean movie for today's standards. I would recommend it for the whole family.
