A pesar de ti

This is one of those films, that are impossible to rate. I want to give it a 1/10 and a 10/10 at the same time.

The film plays on so many notes and crams in so much plot, that no character development I believable. The result is a superficial and pretentious piece of overly sentimental work. Nothing works in this film, the way the filmmakers intend it to. But that's why I loved it so much. I haven't laughed so hard since watching Apartment 1303 - a horror film that does the exact same thing as this film. Just watch how a caricatured Dave Franco goes from the largest and most unbelievable smile to a very serious face while physically proclaiming his love for another person in a scene where everything is off.

Yes - this film is so bad it's good. And it keeps going hard from start to finish. Almost every scene is a laugh riot, and I seriously can't wait rewatching it with a couple of friends.

I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to... I loved the actors and the acting, the screenplay and cinematography was stunning, but the direction and editing seemed so off and choppy. There was no flow or depth to the movie despite the base plot being deep and filled with emotion.

I didn't read the book, but oh well, this movie makes me never wanna read it... My rating is for the cast and not the movie really...

This movie tried to be touching but was almost silly to me. A family tragedy upends the lives of a mother and her teenage daughter. The lack of communication around this event seemed very unrealistic. The smart daughter is somehow oblivious to what most is upsetting to her mother. Meanwhile, potential romances develop for both. Perhaps this was the appeal to the audience. Other than my party of four age 60s folks, the other 25 or so viewers appeared to be all teenage or college girls. And some clapped at the end -- while I shook my head. I've not read any Colleen Hoover works, but will not be attending any more movies from her novels.

Okay, full disclosure: I know full well I'm so biased on this one, but I really enjoyed 'Regretting You'. From the moment the first frame rolled I was drawn in - visually it's gorgeous, the leads are absolutely stunning, and yes, my heartstrings were tugged. Any film that gets a tear out of me instantly gets a higher rating in my book, haha.

I'll admit: I've read the book (by Colleen Hoover) so there was extra nostalgia and expectation baked in. The film adaptation doesn't always dig as deep as one might hope - some character arcs feel glossed over, some of the emotional beats just skim the surface. Critics have flagged uneven storytelling and tonal whiplash. But honestly? For me it didn't matter, because what it does deliver is warm, cute, and full of heart.

If you're after a perfect chick-flick with a lot of heart, this is your match. The daughter-mother dynamics, the romance, the grief, the scenic backdrops - it comes together into something that's far from perfect, but deeply enjoyable. Sure, it could've been deeper, but sometimes you just want to be moved, to smile, to sniffle, to leave the cinema feeling something. And that's exactly what I got.

After the tragic passing of her aunt and dad, Clara is in a dark place and it seems her only source of light is a boy named Miller. Clara's mom Morgan is distraught especially when things are not what they seem in the accident. Her sisters boyfriend Jonah has some secrets himself. It's all about to come crashing down on everyone.

It's a decent romcom / romdrama. All the acting is good it caries some good jokes and some nice moments. The overall situation is a bit bananas but it's a movie.

I liked the 2 lead kids, strong acting chops they both have, funny, sad, moving, hopeful. The pacing was good took about 30 minutes for things to kick off and ramps up to the end. I liked it for a genre that's not rally for me 6/10.
