This was the first of the videos that started a trend of sex education videos in the early 1990s . I guess the idea behind it was for liberated women to go into a high street store and buy it without any type of guilt or inhibition , but no doubt the main buyer market was teenage boys and dirty old men
THE LOVERS GUIDE is groundbreaking in the fact that it publicised that the couples involved were real life partners but this is slightly dishonest , yes the main couple featured Wendy and her husband were indeed a real life couple who'd been married several years but there was some public controversy that at least one of the couples Kathryn ( The gorgeous brunette ) and Marino ( The well buffed geezer with a ponytail ) had never met one another until they appeared on set where they had unprotected sex for the camera . For a video that self righteously dedicates segments to safe sex it is rather hypocritical
Seeing as it's for education purposes and not pornography as such there's limits as to what can be shown but as a sex education video it's not uninformative though I doubt if you'll be gasping " I never knew that "
As a footnote the main couple featured became something of sexual problem agony aunts in the British press - Until it was revealed that Wendy's husband had a serious heart condition which put a stop to sex . I almost felt sorry for this couple who confessed that they used to make love as often as ten times a day but now couldn't make love once a day because it was too dangerous . My small amount of sympathy soon vanished when shortly afterwards the couple split up and raced off to the gutter press in order to dish the dirt on one another to the highest bidder .
生存在帮派和民族仇怨之间的爱情故事。歌舞表演都很精彩，就是场景转换的处理有些太过突兀，很多剧场中的表演形式和戏剧冲突放在电影中不加以改编就显得不那么合适了。
放在当下美国，无疑是极其有现实意义的。调度老辣，音乐动人，舞蹈精彩。但故事本身，无疑还是被时代限制了，男主的表演……也极大地影响了整体的动人程度和可信度。
多少年没看过这么无语的剧情了…男主太劝退了
一言不合就马路斗舞，担心交通安全，很出戏。故事虽经典，可就是看不下去
肯定没原版好的，最大的优点是经费充足，歌大致相同，排舞不一样。老爷子为了让故事圆滑，打乱了顺序，可惜的是没有添加新的东西
男主选角差到离谱，怪不得颁奖季没有主角奖项提名。
妈呀，私心喜爱Jimmy O Yang！太甜宠了吧！！！
因為 愛最大
而对原作最大的继承，可能就是男女主一样糟糕的演技了吧。男女主轮流斗烂的演技，简直相映成趣，让本片还带上了一定的喜剧元素。看完只想给原版男女主道歉，不禁为正准备第一次看白雪公主的小朋友们担忧。
其实我不太能理解，斯皮尔伯格的公司剧本选择起码有几十个，怎么就选出这个来拍了。
翻拍然后做旧算什么本事，有这个budget不如给LMM拍点跟得上时代的新作品
值得肯定的是好莱坞制片时代依然能够汇聚财力、人力完成一部这么难的歌舞片，提及歌舞片不得不提2017年的《爱乐之城》虽然形式上，《西区故事》做的更加类型一些，更加复杂的舞蹈，更加恢宏的场面、更加庞杂的数量的舞蹈，但的确在风格和叙事上略输一筹，老爷子和明努斯基的合作配合的敲到好处，场面调度，灯光调度都十分传神，但在叙事结构上，针对主角安东和女主玛丽亚的人物弧光还是不够，矛盾冲突也略显单薄，大量的歌舞剧充斥整部电影，甚至有些可以整段砍掉的歌舞也原封不动的保留着，造成了结局对男女主注定无法在一起的诀别时，因为情感铺垫不够引发的乏力。值得期待的是本片服装服化道、和场景还原，真实的还原了上世纪五十年代的美国西区，不出意外，今年奥斯卡 《西区故事》应该能斩获最佳摄影、最佳服装设计、最佳配乐奖。
没看之前，斯皮尔伯格吖，能烂到哪去。是我自作多情了，坚持了一半受不了快进了。找不到好看点的女主吗？？
其实两版《西区故事》故事情节是“高度雷同”的，其他方面水平上也差别不大，为何豆瓣评分老版比新版高出许多，这未尝不是观众厚古薄今的心理偏好在起作用。而厚古薄今、厚外薄中这种打分偏见，可以说是见怪不怪了。
奉劝跟我一样因为funny asian dude 而想看这部片子的朋友们，还是别了
怎么说呢 女主有brain damage 而男主是恋爱脑。This story doesn't age well at all.
感觉景搭的挺小的，倒有种把剧场舞台扩大了的感觉。场景调度是体现得出导演熟辣的功力的，只是这么一个画面和故事放在眼前，除了怀旧也实在砸吧不出啥别的味道来。
干嘛要用这种方式去翻拍一部60年前的经典电影？
烂是真的烂啊。还不如我十年前看的爱情喜剧。
最后，本片和陀螺的玉面情魔都好长，也许130分钟都更适合。
