Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List

The character of Naomi is so self centered. Clingy, whiny, attention craving. When bad things happen to her, you want to pause it, invite the neighbours in, dance around the TV letting off party poppers, shouting "Whoop whoop" She's an awful character, wouldn't be out of place in'Gossip Girl' Horrible character. I stuck with it because Ely and Alex are hot. Okay, apart from that, I associated with Ely's perspective. You can't help where the heart leads you. Annoying and, 'what's that about' having two sets of characters with the same name, even a boy and girl. I would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been for enduring Naomi.

I loved the movie. It was funny and also soothing for a nice relaxing afternoon. I think that this is a great story about friendship and love, also about growing old and changing. Not all change is bad and the movie handles very well the idea that not all relationships are perfect, not even between best friends.

The cast is great, relatable and have great chemistry, therefore the characters feel real and not forced into the plot. Bruce 1 per example is a magnificent secondary character who brings a lot of comedic elements and also funny scenes.

Above all, you can get lost in the movie and be happy for a bit over an hour, forget about your problems and have fun.

Vapid narcissists Ely and Naomi maintain a toxic friendship where they are co-dependant and yet not honest to each other. An affair between their parents (which ended in a divorce and a barely-together-marriage) has not broken their bonds, even though they harbour unspoken resentment toward each other -- made worse by their ill-advised pact to never date boys they both find attractive.

Perhaps we'd feel concern for them if they weren't both so self-absorbed and actually wanted the best for each other. Nope, Naomi would rather Ely conform to her fantasy relationship with him where he is not gay and he gives her the love she lacks from her father -- and Ely would rather not call out Naomi on her disregard for her other friends and current boyfriends, or even call her out on being a bad college student for that matter.

What happens doesn't even matter -- like most kids they'll realise that they created most of these problems themselves, and that other people actually have REAL PROBLEMS and maybe they should actually get a hobby or something.

If this in any way resembles your life, SEE A THERAPIST ASAP. The characters in this movie are not real, and if they were, everyone would hate them, because they are horrible. Gain some perspective and watch the news or read a book. Just don't be Naomi or Ely. They suck.

Victoria Justice and Pierson Fode are perfect together in this movie and their chemistry is undeniable! Not having read the book previously I don't know how well it was portrayed but the movie is great on its own. This is a great and very different type of love story, from friendship (specifically best friendship) to romance and all of the challenges that come with it, to somewhere in between. It is relatable enough but also a different enough perspective that anyone can enjoy it! Naomi and Ely have to grow up and it's the coming to terms with that, the obstacle of a possible love interest and the testing of their bond that propels the story forward. Great movie that I can not wait to watch it again! I also really want to read the book now!

I went in wanting to assess Matthew Daddario's acting so I had little to no expectations.

It's a nice little movie with a good pace, great music and excellent costumes.

Victoria's acting did nothing for me. At no point in the movie did I feel her despair, excitement or any other emotion she was apparently experiencing. Pierson was amazing, touching, sensitive and sensible. Sadly, Victoria was giving him so little material to work with, he often came out too strong and overtly emotional. Still, an actor I will watch out for.

So I went in for him but he was the biggest disappointment. I found he played his character the same way he plays Alec in Shadowhunters. Huge bummer... While in Shadowhunters it works great with the book character as it brings him a more complete personality - except for the occasional out of character lines - it worked even better here as Gabriel. The two characters are so blurred, now I will see Gabriel every time I watch Alec. That being said, great chemistry between Gabriel and Naomi, Naomi and Ely but nothing between Ely and Bruce 2.

Overall, it's an OK movie that 16 years old girls should enjoy. I would recommend it to them.
