Déjate llevar

As someone who read the book, this was disappointing. The pacing was off, causing the plot to feel off and very rushed towards the end. I think the protagonist was poorly portrayed, and the acting was not quite up to par, creating a rigid and seemingly inauthentic character.

Was it predictable? Yes. Was it simple? Yes. But I wasn't able to stop smiling through the whole film because it was so dang cute. Even though it was as I expected it to be, it was comforting. And definitely not the cheesiest young adult rom com, which is a huge plus.

A very formulaic teen coming of age that goes through the motions with no heart. The cast had no chemistry and the lines felt delivered rather than acted.

Beach themed coming-of-age romcom that doesn't wanna be more than it should - cute, semi-funny, pretty, etc. Won't shake up your world but will deliver summer vibes.

This is a cute high school to college summertime romance. The usual out-of-place, uptight, smart, old soul, sad girl meets: gorgeous, aimless, despondent, biker-boy (BMX, not motorcycle). It did NOT fail to satisfy my appetite for honest, feel good young love. The cliché, of course, is the obvious message to the audience that teens are actually more intelligent and level-headed than their parents. This time I'm not so certain they aren't correct! Her parents are all a few eggs short of an omelette.

The insecurity and bursts of emotion are navigated quite superbly, not too overwhelming; but sufficient enough to taste the angst, frustration, and potential for regret. Oh, to be young again.

What happened to Kate Bosworth? She only seems to do trailer park these days...
