Hope Springs Eternal

Like they took all bad ideas that never made it into big blockbusters,of similar content & called it a movie. Did start out ok before her diagnosis change,than it became actually a terminal mess. Any event in life changes you,but how the film approached it was horrible.. Shallow & so forth. The main character wasn't all that likeable,don't feel a different actress could of helped the script. Have seen the lead(Mia)in other things,where she was good. I was hoping for more of a saving grace type ending,but instead was rather bland. Than besides the cancer tribute,most decent part.. Unfortunately came the closing song,which felt went on.. Forever! If you are bored,check it out.

It's an interesting premise. A teenage girl who was expecting to die soon from cancer is suddenly told that she's in remission, and can look forward to many years of adulthood. Likewise, I don't have a problem with a protagonist trying to figure out how to adjust to a complete change in her plans. It turns out that she's more scared of living than she was of dying. The movie has a good message about living life, instead of just waiting for death.

However, the movie has a very unlikable protagonist. She keeps milking the cancer to get special treatment. That is disgusting behavior. My brother's wife lost her sister to bone cancer, and I wouldn't dare show this movie to her. Furthermore, the way Hope treats her friends is abhorrent. I know that a story needs a low point, but it doesn't have to result from the main character being a bratty jerk.

She changes, though. She finds a badly needed new friend, who helps her get her life together. Friendship is a powerful thing, and a single friend can make a huge difference in someone's life.

I usually don't like drama and especially ones about cancer or dying young ....but this story intrigued me from the start ...the actress captured my attention...she's really good...everyone was ok in the movie ...the plot...the storyline...the acting...the message ....all was good...the boyfriends acting was terrible...so was the popular bully...but whatever they r not that important in this whole picture....

The story is good ... good for a Liftime or MTV movie ,, i mean i get it cancer and all ,, but the whole scenario was a bit lame.

The plot is so average,, the writing was a problem ,, and the directing looked so weak ,, the scenes just kept on coming and it actually felt like a TV movie where 14 years old girls would like to watch with there moms.

The cast just added to the awfulness ... don't know about, Mia Rose Frampton, i feel like i saw her somewhere before in a movie ,, and i hated her back then, and it all scratched back into life today.

finale thought,, you could watch it if you have "literally" nothing to watch..

Terrible acting. Terrible plot. Don't waste your time. Can't believe Netflix would even want this.
