If I Stayed... the entire movie

Rating: 2/10 (18 November 2014)

I'm a big believer in the fact that movies should be good the entire movie, and the first part of this movie was actually abysmal.
I don't know how this got past production, but somehow this script had enough redeeming qualities to get through. I guess because it was based on a relatively? successful book.
Don't get be wrong, part of this is OK. It does a good job of capturing cute teenage romance, and the two actors are actually adorable and incredibly relatable. But the script is just actually painful. Two star-crossed lovers from different walks of life end up seeing past each other's differences and step out of their own comfort zones and end up in a relationship. "The you you are now is the same you i was in love with yesterday, the same you i'll be in love with tomorrow." Yawn.
There isn't much else to say. If you want to watch a poorly written movie with awkwardly delivered and an incredibly scripty feel - this is a great choice.
