a cheesy load of clichés with very twisted moral values

Rating: 3/10 (26 May 2020)

Pretty much everything wrong with the story, acting isnt as bad as people say, not good either though. but the story... not really sure how to describe it, it is so morally twisted that it is hard to believe this movie was made by adults. so, the working class girl is helping this filthy rich guy (and yes: the clichés. all of them) , who i belive is supposed to be portrayed as charming and likeable, altough thats not the case at all. the guys is totally spoiled and selfish. neither the girl nor the guy give a damn about the girls long term boyfriend and his feelings, and we are supposed to dislike him too for not giving a birthday present good enough. the guys keeps on making these "funny" jokes about the girls looks and makes it awkwardly clear that he would be dating hotter girls if he werent paralysed. and again, he is seriously intended to be a likeable character. also every problem seems to be solved with money, including killing yourself and letting your loved ones in grief: you just book 'em a flight to paris and give them a load of money and they'll seem to feel perfectly ok after literally couple of weeks since your passing. also there is a great moral teaching about being physically disabled is not a life wort living, especially if you are used to live a great jetset life travelling around the world with unlimited trustfund money.
at the same time everything seems to be always nice and neat despite the disability. the movie really does not do justice to the effort that real care workers put in... and it does not begin to describe the difficulties of a everyday life of disabled person. on top of all theres the cheesy soundtrack with ed sheeran sugarpop songs super out of place...
horrible piece of storytelling and cinema. do not bother. there are lots of great movies over the same subject out there:
if you're looking a feel good movie, choose the intouchables.
if youre in the mood for great drama with deep and beautiful ideas over life, death and dignity, go with Sea Within
