~Summary~
A romantic comedy centered on the two high schoolers: Dave, who until now has pined for a girl he can't have, and Aubrey, a creative type who's dating a guy who doesn't quite understand her.
~My Thoughts~
If it wasn't for Dylan O'Brien I wouldn't have finished the
movie. Truthfully this movie isn't so great, it was just okay. I got bored in a
few scenes and if I wanted to, I could have just walked away and I wouldn't
have regretted it. Actually I was also editing my latest short story I'll be
publishing soon, while watching this movie so it was one that couldn't really
hold me. The only time I really got hooked was when Dylan was in the scene.
Best thing about this movie.
So pretty much this guy is in love with this girl but he
just doesn't have the nerve to tell her. He then meets Britt's character and
that slowly changes things. Okay, actually it changes things very quickly and
too quickly for my taste as this movie takes place over a weekend, two days
people. I know teens and their relationships move fast, so pretty much that's
what this movie is all about but at the end they supposedly love each other. Or
at least want to make it work after sleeping with each on the second day they know
each other, the product of teenage hormones people. Oh yeah, did I mention it
was both their "first times".
Me, I didn't really see a great connection between the two
characters and if there was any connection at all it was all coming from
Dylan's character. He actually got to know her and what not. He was becoming a
love sick puppy while she wasn't really into it. Maybe if they cast another
actress for the main gal I might have liked it better. I do like Britt, however,
in all her roles she's exactly the same, no difference in her characters at all! Like, seriously? So for this
movie I wasn't a big fan of her. She was like the dude of this relationship
while Dylan had actual emotions, making him even more adorable than usual.
Seriously, I have a little crush on this guy but who can blame me.
Overall another movie where the trailer was better than the
actually hour and a half. I thought this was going to be cute, all romantic and
what not but it wasn't. It was more on the serious side, kind of, so I was
turned off of it a bit. Plus the pacing of it, randomness, and how it was just
put together wasn't that great. One scene I do have to talk about is the car
accident they drive by, part of the randomness. Earlier in the movie a bunch of
drunken dudes come and ask for directions for a party. They tell them and the
drunken dudes ask if they want a ride but they declined. The next day they see
the drunken dudes car totaled and Britt's character freaks out. Like I get that
it could have been them too but it was just so random. I know death is scary, I
have a major fear of it, I can give myself small panic attacks because of it
but this was just so random to me. I don't know, I get it but I just feel like
this movie didn't really need it *shrugs*.
If you like Sundance movies then this movie is for you. If
not then I say pass it.
It will make you shrill
Happy Viewing Everybody!
