Can You Keep a Secret?

The movie started off charming and a little bit funny and different. It quickly ran off the tracks and went down hill with a plot line with no actual development and a love story that was weak. It was super corny and awkward to watch.

I thought this movie looked so cute! But this fell so flat for me. There was no script, no chemistry, no connection and no humor. What happened with this? While she hasn't picked the best roles yet, Alexandria Daddario deserved better. It just felt like a complete mess. Please skip if you care about any of the things I mentioned.

The book is one of my absolute favorites. I read it a couple times a year so I expected to be disappointed with the movie just because they are rarely as good. That being said, even acknowledging my bias I have to say the movie came off rushed and shallow. Some of the comedic Elements just came across as flat and it felt like they couldn't decide if it was suppose to be American Pie raunchy or a sweet preteen rom com.

Just read the book. It's amazing. The movie? Don't spend money. Wait for Netflix

I can see how the story itself could have made for a great rom-com ( I heard that it was a beloved book) but this film is so poorly done. The whole things seems low budget, like a cheesy made-for-TV movie. The writing, directing, and acting are all horrible. The supporting characters seem so immature and unrealistic. Then they awkwardly throw in several f-words, silly sexual scenes and lewd references or discussions which just don't play well. It's like they couldn't decide if they wanted to do a sweet rom-com or a raunchy comedy so they fell short on both. I'm not a picky moviegoer but this is just not worth the time In My Humble Opinion!

Directed by Elise Duran, Cinematography by Autumn Eakin. Both the direction and the cinematography were kept simple. No complexity at all. The camera stands still covering up beautiful portraits like it's a photo shoot and not a film.

Screenplay by Peter Hutchings was lame. Neither did the cringe comedy nor the stuttering awkward conversations strike a chord with the audience. I don't know if he had made justice for the book but definitely not for the producers.

Music by Jeff Cardoni was the only admirable thing in the film. It may not be the best but it's good and not odd.

The cast members Alexandra Daddario, Tyler Hoechlin and others have perfectly acted out their role but what didn't come out goodiin the film is that the pathetic characters they play.

To conclude, Can you keep a secret is a clichéd romantic film that's slow paced and plain with weird characters and cringe comedy.
