Life in a Year is predictable in a way, like most of these movies , but it tried to put its own spin on this story.

Jaden Smith is growing on me. You can tell he's talented and will keep growing as a performer. Cara is great like normal.

So don't listen to the overly negative reviews on here. That's just 2020 internet troll stuff. Most of these clowns on here just need something to do so they b-tch about everything. If you hate a certain type of movie, don't watch it. That's easier than watching it and then complaining about it. Me? I hate musicals. So I don't watch them and then blame the cast for me hating it. Get a life people.

This was a decent romantic young people movie. I've seen both better and worse. People just hate Jaden for the most ridiculous reasons. It debuted on Prime it's not like you had to buy a ticket. Jaden is okay in his scenes. However, he brings heavy emotion quite well. I wouldn't have bought a ticket for this but I'm okay with it being in the Prime library. The more experienced actors did very well. I do respect the acceptance without making it preachy. If you watch it you'll know. Overall, it's a decent romance movie. Watch appreciate life a bit, respect folks fighting for their lives and folks whose lives were ended too soon.

Cara was the reason why I even bothered to look into this film. The initial premise sounded a lot like "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015)" - but it was a new take on it. A young couple from different sides of the track get to know each other and make it work; against parents, against odds and also against their own initial doubt.

The two develop enough chemistry to come across as a believable, albeit unlikely, couple. The lead actors are fine, the supporting actors were not my favorite. The plot itself plays itself out around half-time and then fizzles out from there.

Was it a worthy watch? Since I had nothing else to do on Black Friday, yes. Would I waste valuable time for it instead of doing something else - No.

Romantic/Dramatic movie. Surprisingly, it is a very good movie in the genre that many will love! Despite some similarities to other ones, this film has its own character, its own style and shows us important messages beyond its dramatic style. Cara Jocelyn Delevingne is excellent in her role as many of the protagonists. Very nice presentation of the script combined with the messages for the most important things in life. Some slightly stupid elements could have been excluded, but as a whole it is very good without giving a strong dramatic element except for emotion at the end. One of the best films Jaden Smith played. It is recommended to all fans of the genre! I will definitely watch it again!

Beware, there are several "10" reviews by people who just recently have established their accounts, most likely studio shills to get the rating up. This is becoming more and more routine on the IMDb. You'd best ignore them.

My greatest disappointment with this film is casting Jaden Smith as the boyfriend. If you do a search on the terms "can't act" you might well get a photo of Jaden Smith. He drags the movie down.

A few years ago he was featured in "After Earth" with his dad, on that role I wrote, "This is a very plain story, and relies on young Jaden Smith to convince us he can carry an action movie. He showed us he can't. He is not a good actor, and he enunciates so poorly that we often had difficulty even understanding what he said."

Other than that it is a decent story, although told many times before, and Cara Delevingne is really good in a challenging role. See the movie if you will, just don't expect too much. It is available FREE on Amazon so you are only out a bit of your time.

Not sure what all the hate is about! Yeah it's a story about coming of age teens, struggling with life, learning to be themselves and falling in love. And yes... The storyline has been done before and it's been done better, but who cares! This movie has a lot of important lessons about living your dreams, being your authentic self and not being afraid of what other people think. I found all the characters in this film to have depth and I cared about them and that's what I really like from a movie. I have seen some pretty horrid crap movies in my life and this definitely isn't one of them. Sure, it's no Oscar winner, but it made me feel things and that's all I want from a good film sometimes.

Well, i loved this movie and i don't get the hate! It's predictable, like almost all romance movies, but that doesn't make it bad. Tbh I still get surprised with some scenes. The movie started really well with some funny scenes and as we went deeper the sadder it got, which is not bad. I cried about 3 times while watching it, so I would say that it's definitely an emotional movie. Personally, I believe that romances are one of the best types of movies, so i was really attracted to watch it, just by the title. I got fascinated with the acting! It was really good and there are also some familiar faces that I believe everyone knows which makes it even more appealing. I would definitely recommend it if you're a hopeless romantic like me and be ready to cry!

I've never felt compelled to write a review until I read some of the bad reviews for this movie. This was a well-written and very well-acted film. Yes, there's a teen romance (which shouldn't have surprised anyone who watched the trailer first); but I found it to be a whole lot more than that. I'm 49, and I connected with it instantly. Jaden Smith is so good in this performance that you feel what his character is feeling - best kind of movie. Highly recommend.

Cara delegvines performance truly makes this movie, her characters spunky attitude and vibrant wigs are used to cover up the true pain she is going through which is unleashed at the end of the film along with her incredible heart reaching performance. Jaden smith is also rather good in this film and I truly believe his acting has greatly evolved. My face looked like an exploded water balloon by the end of this film, it's unbearably beautiful. Just watch it, if you don't feel anything I would question wether you have a heart.

Never ever done a review before but my God this is bad. This is a typical example of a famous son being told they are amazing when they are clearly not!!

I don't seek out romantic movies but wife got to choose. I had no idea what the movie was about so the cancer reveal got my attention and didn't let go. I knew where the movie was probably heading and there were some little twists along the way. Reading most of the negative comments on here I see a lot of people projecting onto the actors or the Smith/Pinkett family and not actually the merits of the film. It was a good watch with a diverse set of characters mirror the real world - not just some WASP pocket of America.

I watched it last night. Its certainly obvious that the young Smith is growing up. He places a smile on many faces with his earnest effort. The performances of the leads are believable but there was very little chemistry between the two. He played a likeable and intelligent character and he pulls it off quite well. Cara also pulled off her role, but the role was just one more smart alec girl who is hard to get to know.

And it looks like Jaden is still learning about timing. The other characters were nice, especially his mom.

This is a tear-jerker that features damn good performances from Jaden Smith and Cara Delevigne. Overused tropes and cliches aside I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this movie. The first half is kinda silly but hang in there because the second half will break your heart.

There's a scene in The Disaster artist, where Judd Apatow tells Tommy Wiseau, played by James Franco, how hard it is to make it. I wish he would remember that the next time, he and other powerful actors and filmmakers use their substantial clout to have their family cast on a show or in a film. It's a shame that two people like Will and Jada Smith, who made It on merit would take away a role from a deserving actor. Shame on them.

I actually enjoyed it. I don't understand all this hate.

I get why people didn't like it but i actually really liked it. Maybe i'm a sucker for teen romcoms or it's like almost 5:30am but i thought the acting and the storyline was really well done.

Well although the story of this movie is so repetitive it's still good and touching but the movie fails to portray it well. It's so cheesy, cliched and predictable with many silly and childish scenes. It's full of stupid and annoyingly exaggerated moments as well. The chemistry between Cara and Jaden is bad and Jaden's acting in some scenes is awful. The good thing about this film is Cara Delevingne's acting and character, and the movie has a few emotional moments. Life in a Year is a bad movie with a heartbreaking story.

One of the best movies I ever watched. Seriously. I don't understand why this has such bad ratings. 20 minutes in the movie I cried twice already.

I began watching this movie expecting to be bored to death but who knew I was not. I have always liked Jaden Smith since he was little. In this movie you can see he has matured as an actor. His screen presence is undeniable I guess he has that Will Smith charm about him.

The movie starts out lame and the supporting actors were not a good choice because the chemistry between them was not evident. But then a little further into plot the movie kind of grabs you and Jaden turns in his best performance to date. I always knew he had potential despite his previous bad reviews. Is it an Oscar contender ? of course not. Was it run of the mill not at all.

One comment about movies being made today: Why does it seem that in a lot of movies being made today the almost obligatory throw -up scene has to be included. Do movie makers think that audiences actually enjoy seeing people throwing up especially when it is not necessary. Please stop it.

Fine, I knew before watching that as an older person I was probably not the age demographic for this movie. But this movie is wrong.

Having cancer sucks, but I don't believe it gives you license to to be an obnoxious brat who doesn't need to obey the law. When we are introduced to Cara's character she is trying to break into a dance club and physically assaults a security guard with a brick.

However, its the Dad, Cuba's character, who is the villain of the piece. Yes, he is an OTT controlling dad. But he just wants what's best for his son, misguided as his attempts might be.

But, let's get back to the girl. She then goes with the son on a road trip where they commit theft, break and enter and take drugs. Lovely, uplifting romance.

Oh, then there is the trans "au pair" who twice commits theft which the movie justifies because the person stolen from is intolerant.

These values really worry me. This is not a sweet movie at all. This movie is broken. 1 point for the hedgehog.

The majority of the user reviews focuses on bad acting performances and although the acting performances truly are a great component to the integrity of a movie, it still can not be the main reason to judge whether the movie is good or bad. So first of all the acting sure is not this movie's greatest virtue, but neither it's worst one. Let us just stay with saying that the casting is debatable.

When you read Life in a year's summary of a plot you know exactly what to expect. You know there is going to be a romance between a boy and a dying girl with a sad ending. You know that. You go with that. You are in a mood for that sort of a movie, or you need some low-brain activity relaxation. Movies like that purely entertain and that is great, we need those kinds of movies.

One movie critic once said that romance movies are the hardest to write. Why? Because the audience knows what is going to happen, yet a screenplay writer still has to come up with a script that in some way is going to differ from other romcoms. This movie could not fail more in this aspect. There is nothing wrong with a few cliches in a romantic movie because you expect them. They are comforting, they are relying upon that the audience just excepts them, the audience won't judge them, they just feel them. But if the movie is stringing them up one after the other the outcome is a bad movie.

You have a wild and lively parentless girl Isabelle with a terminal disease, you have Daryn, a nerd kid who needs some unruliness in his life, but his strict and controlling father gets in the way. You have a loving mother who loves and supports her son's romance and sees a bigger picture. You have two friends who help Daryn to reach his goal. Now imagine a plot. Write down scene after scene (some of them look like a music video - you know driving on a road 15 km/h so the actress' hair is not flattering in the wind), add a few cringes. Then you watch Life in a year. You probably guessed the majority of the scenes in this movie. This movie is begging writers for some sort of creativity but it gets none.
