Living Life

I went to see Living Life because I read the recent article in the Seattle Times about the film and the amazing effort put forth by the 19-year-old director and his team. I was curious and went with the expectation that I would see a film by a "big fish in a little pond". I was very happy to find myself wrong in this assumption. Living Life is a wonderful film easily screened with the best films Hollywood has to offer. I would recommend this film to anyone who loves a good drama. I was moved to tears and warmed in my heart. I loved the music, and thought the acting was great. All in all a stellar effort, I can't wait to see what they come up with next!

I saw this film on DVD, what a great film. Great story, great characters, great emotions. Plus the fact that it was made by a 17 year old kid, is amazing. I have two kids, one 9 and one 14, they both fell in love with the movie. Its a great kids movie because of the positive story and the way it deals with dying. My 9 year old really learned from it. My 14 year old girl thinks the main actor is really cute, so she likes it for that, but she also thinks its a great chick flick and all her friends watch it every month almost. I really encourage everyone to rent this movie, or buy it, because you will want to watch it over and over. Great Film!

I am a huge drama freak, and I expect a lot from the films I see. That's why when I went to see a film made by someone from Seattle, I was a bit worried. Let's face it, we are not known here for our artists or our films. I don't think a hit was ever fully produced here without the generous help from LA, and there aren't even many of those. This aside I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty and tight structure of Living Life. Its story line was poignant, it characters well developed and its emotion strong and stirring. I was moved to tears on more than one occasion. The technical side of the movie was first rate. The shots were long and beautiful, the music fantastic, and the location/set design first rate. When I think about the fact that a 17 year old wrote the film and the SOLD IT, I am floored. What an amazing phenomenon.

Highly recommended!

I'm a 15 year old girl and I love this movie. All my girlfriends loved it and we even saw it again and brought some guys with us, they even really liked it. But, its a really good movie. I heard about because I heard the director interview on the radio, he was only 17 when he made the film!!!!!!! It looks like it was made for a million dollars by Hollywood, it's amazing. But the film is so uplifting and emotional, I even saw some of the guys I was with crying. But it just makes you happy. My favorite part was the magic scenes and the little boy in the hospital, he was so cute. I babysit some young kids and I told them about Living Life and they saw and they also loved, its just a really good movie and its made by a teenager, you have to see it just for that.

This film will make you laugh, make you cry and make you leave the theater feeling great. It is a perfect family film. I have two young kids, 8 and 12 and they both loved it. My youngest now says its her favorite film. Before Living Life it was Princess Diaries, which was a good movie, so that should say something. I saw the film in theaters and was blown away when I heard it was directed by a 17 year old kid, amazing! He is going to be the next Spielberg or something. My kids have already been asking when its coming out on DVD. I emailed the distributor and they actually replied and said sometime in Feb, or March of 2006. If you have kids, or if you just like good, heart felt, make you feel good movies, then see Living Life whenever you can.
