Visually lyrical film romance also has problems with dubious views on teen sexuality. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- "Summer Of '42" is an unforgettable meditation on sexual awakening and loss during WWII.

Rating: 3/5 -- "Summer of '42" is a memory movie, written, directed and acted with such uncommon good humor that I don't think you'll be put off by its sweet soft-focus, at least until you start analyzing it afterwards.

Rating: 3/4 -- People who actually recall 1942 will more greatly appreciate the waves of nostalgia that bathe this affectionate coming-of-age drama, set on a tiny island off New England. Full Review

Summer of '42 has a large amount of charm and tenderness; it also has little dramatic economy and much eye-exhausting photography which translates to forced and artificial emphasis on a strungout story. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- In the early hijinks phase, the film seems like a dry run for Porky's, but it later gets into the business of fluttering curtains, walks on sandy beaches and longing glances. Full Review
