Look Both Ways

I liked the fact that this movie was very easy to watch. It's perfect for when you're bored and don't know what to watch. The story line is easy to follow, not too much drama.

It is also quite interesting how the two sides of life of the main character was portrait. There is definitely some food for thought regarding life choices and routes. Sometimes, the seemingly important decisions and events are not as important as what we think in determining one's life; it is what you do and create for yourself afterwards to live a meaningful life. Either way, one's life can still turn out amazing but just in different ways.

This movie is inspirational in some way, and I would recommend especially to younger audiences e.g. Teens.

But not for the reasons you would think like it was a great movie or anything, The leads looks and smile kept me thinking of one of my forever stars! Whom will never be forgotten in my mind and in my heart! Brittany Murphy, although it was not spot on, things she did and her makeup just took me back. It was like Silverstone and Murphy had a bby and the lead was it!

It was a watchable movie, sad and happy roller-coaster, but hard to follow at times. I know they tried something new but you got lost if you just look away ONCE to break up a cat fight! It was too long and no explanations at the end. This was a 6 star (+2 star for the cute little girl and Wilson) but I could not get over the leads mannerisms!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this film, but it doesn't wow, either. The performances from all of the cast are solid.

So, it's a reworking of the "alternate timeline" story, the best-known version of this is the 1998 movie, Sliding Doors. My advice, watch Sliding Doors instead. They even copied some of the more nuanced aspects of the trope from Sliding Doors. It feels almost like a Hallmark Movie in parts, with very simple storytelling and obvious direction. You never really engage with the characters or care about the outcomes (even though you know the outcome because you know the cinematic trope). There are no twists and turns.

It's a really easy way to kill a couple of hours, but it's not going to be one I want to watch again and again.

As I say, there is nothing wrong with the film, throw it on for an easy watch, but it feels like it could have been much, much more.

Overall... I really enjoyed the movie. Acting was pretty solid and fun, shows two different Versions of One persons Life.. wasn't too hard to follow with the transitioning going back and forth, in the beginning I was a little confused, but figured it out. It has its charm for sure. I would Definitely give it a go you like Rom-Coms Chick Flicks style movies. Lili Reinhart is a sweet heart and just nailed the roll. Really liked the dive into Parenthood vs College/Career version of herself. Fun Movie, I give it a 7 for an Good Average.. and 8 if you really like these style of movies. I would Recommend.

First off,, for those of you complaining that this was a rip-off of Sliding doors, well the trivia on IMBD even brings up that this movie was supposed to be similar to it. They aren't denying it.

Anyway..

It was worth the watch and I really did like most of the movie, but it kind of fell a little short for me.

I think there may have been a little too much story to tell and capture for just a movie.

I found her life in LA to be a little boring and I really wanted more of her and the father's relationship in Texas , their relationship started off strong and I was really looking forward to seeing their journey, but since the point of this movie was to show " what could have been", I feel like as the audience we didn't get the opportunity to get sucked into either of the stories.

I still enjoyed the movie, but something about it left me a little unsatisfied. The relationships just weren't strong enough for me.
