You Won't Be Looking at Your Phone

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2015)

For some reason it has become really cool to say that you hate this book and you hate this movie. I'd actually believe that both were rubbish if it wasn't that fact that one hundred million books were sold and you have to book a couple of days in an advance to see the film.
I loved both. I thought they were funny, romantic and very different. To be honest this is just a really lovely story. It's about a lonely insecure girl who falls in love with a billionaire and helps him overcome a troubled past. It also about a guy who appears to have it all together but just doesn't. Both the main actors Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dorman do a wonderful job bringing these flawed characters to life.
There is a lot of sex and there is some horrible violence. But it's how the characters react to this that makes it compelling viewing. People will tell you there are a lot of flaws in the writing but it's a style, not for everybody, but a style. E.L. James has a degree and she's highly successful; she knows exactly what she is doing.
You may disagree with the themes, you may find some of the movie cliché but trust me you won't be bored and you won't be sorry you went. It's a fantastic movie.
