Turtles all the way down is another fantastic John Green book come to life. Isabella Merced gives a great performance to bring Aza's character from the pages to the screen. OCD is a condition many people still either have no full knowledge of or understanding of. Is the film perfect no, not many are. But this film is great at making you both feel good and make you understand more about those who suffer from OCD. There are some parts of the film you'd wish were slower and detailed. However it doesn't hurt it too much. I really did enjoy this a lot take the time 1hr 50 minutes or so and watch it!!!

This is a John Green movie from his book where the main character has OCD, which reflects the author's own struggles. The OCD parts were great, they were well acted and did a great job of having you understand what it's like to live with OCD. I could confirm this was the case during the movie by merely looking over at my girlfriend who has severe OCD, and seeing her crying during pretty much every OCD scene because she hadn't seen such an accurate representation before and felt seen. The rest of movie was unfortunately aggressively mid at best. 6/10, with it only being that high because the lead actress nailed the OCD moments and it's clearly huge for people with OCD to see a movie about it front and center.

The searching for a lost rich billionaire was completely unnecessary and added nothing. No happy ending which is typical of John Green, and no resolution for OCD just him being like lol every days a battle.

So yeah, extremely mid. The best friend was fun. The "mustard" scene was great as well.

I'm going to start off by just saying this was a good movie. Daisy, the best friend carries the entire movie. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have continued watching this. I haven't seen many depictions of the main character's disorder, which I really appreciated. I didn't know that OCD severely affected one's life like that.

The mystery that was of the rich boy's father fell EXTREMELY flat. I thought it was an interesting beginning, but the movie doesn't seriously come back to it until the end of the movie. It wasn't important at all. The romance plot is the same way. There was absolutely nothing special about this boy, other than he is rich and cute.

I found the best friend relationship between Daisy and the main character compelling. Their interactions are just so full of life. Especially the car scene, that's the best scene in the entire movie.

I don't recommend it if you want romance/mystery but this movie is for a good laugh on a relaxing day. 5/10. Praise Daisy.

I'm honestly such a harsh reviewer when it comes to book to movie adaptations but I thought this was really good. Loved literally the whole cast too, the performances were great :) I do t super understand the 6/10 average rating for this, and I went into assuming that would be accurate. Love the John Green book and read it in high school, I thought this translated be try well narratively even given the limitations of the screen. I also just want to point out (and this is true to the book as well) how really good of a depiction of OCD this is. I don't think there are many very thoughtful depictions of the disorder.

I'm still fairly new John Green's books, but I haven't been a stranger to his films. We have to remember when a book gets adapted to film, that there will always be changes and things cut to help fill a movie length runtime. I definitely felt like most of the right things were cut and at least the final product still followed the story and hit all the important plot points. Is it perfect? No, and that's okay, but I still feel like this is very well adapted and still easy to follow. The entire main core cast was phenomenal and their chemistry was perfect! They all felt like their characters and all the heartfelt and tear jerking moments felt lived in. I'm not saying this movie is for everyone, but I still for sure enjoyed it.
