                    [Title] => Endless love: Sanitized remake that’s little better than its 1981 predecessor
                    [Summary] => 

A blah 1981 film becomes a bland one 33 years later in “Endless Love.” Junking almost all the darker and more disruptive elements from Scott Spencer’s 1979 best-seller, such as pyromania, incarceration, divorce, political activism, a major character’s death and, last but not least, an unhappy ending, the present filmmakers serve up a more overtly teen-friendly melodrama that one could argue is the polar opposite of last year’s “Spring Breakers” as a portrait of contemporary adolescence; in fact, the film almost becomes more about the most disturbed adult character than about the young lovers themselves. More than a momentary, Valentine’s Day weekend box office score would be a surprise.
