An over-rated old story

Rating: 5/10 (20 September 2016)

This movie benefited by the "halo effect" of "Game of Thrones" (Clarke) and "Hunger Games" (Clafin) because it is not really a good movie. IMDb readers rated it a 7.5 but I don't understand why, so I assume it is because everyone loves "Game of Thrones" and "Hunger Games" and the actors in them (except for me). Ms Clarke is annoying; the movie is overly long, it is predictable, and I have little sympathy for any of the characters. Clarke does not stand up to her unemployed father and sister who wants Clarke to work to support the family so the sister can escape. And although Clafin is horribly injured and one should empathize with his plight, it is not easy to forget that he got injured soon after leaving his girl friend's bed and was hit by a motorcycle while absorbed by his smart phone while crossing the street. Moreover, he and his family have more money than Trump.
The story is an old one. Quirky young woman cares for person with physical problems. It was done much better in "Dying Young," "You're Not You" and "Passion Fish." I recommend these three, especially the latter two and forget "Me Before You."
