Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
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.

rotten:
It forever misses, unlike American Graffiti, the heady sexual climate of adolescence to concentrate on the circumstances of the sex act itself.

fresh:
"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.
– Vincent Canby,

rotten:
Nostalgia is used as a distancing device -- to keep us safely insulated from the boy's immediate grief, love, and passion.
