Aspetta con me

Most other reviewers have read some book they keep mentioning. They view the movie as some fantasy retelling of the book they enjoyed.

The MOVIE, IS, UTTERLY TERRIBLE. It's just stupid. There is no chemistry between the two leads. The guy just cannot emote anything. He's a bore. He's supposed to be good looking but that doesn't make him attractive.

They have nothing between them. It's entirely contrived nonsense. It doesn't follow the romantic comedy formula for a movie. It's virtually unwatchable. The characters are poorly written.

It's not funny and it's not romantic. It's just a really bad movie.

I love this series so was looking forward to the movie and was NOT disappointed! Andrew Biernat was made for the role of sexy "book boyfriend" Miles Hudson. Madison Lawlor nails the role of "smut writer" Kate Smith, AKA Mercedes Lee Loveletter, who loses her ability to finish her latest erotic novel until she visits Tire Depot.....and then gets her writing mojo back, but has to continue sneaking into the "comfort center" for free coffee and cookies to finish her book. And this is where she meets sexy mechanic, Miles. But. She introduces herself to him as her pen name, Mercedes. Of course we know THAT's going to create problems down the road.

There's laugh out loud moments (like when Kate's author friend has pizza secretly delivered to her at Tire Depot) and the friendship between Kate, Lynsey (Jordan Blair Brown) and Dean (Caleb Slovak) and between Miles and best friend Sam (Laith Chaz Wallschleger) all work well. I particularly loved the scene where Dean confesses his attraction to Kate. But the real star of this movie is the chemistry between Andrew and Madison as Miles and Kate, struggling thru "friends with benefits" and catching feelings along the way. These actors absolutely deliver with authentic, believable performances and capture the audience from scene number 1.

This story is a slow buildup to the realization that Miles (who has sworn off relationships after his disastrous last one) can't resist charming Kate (Mercedes to him) and starts to fall hard....leading up to her EX coming back to town to taunt them (terrific drunk "Dryston" scene by James Knight) and the realization that Miles didn't know the REAL name of the woman he was falling for.....

In summary, I highly recommend this latest PassionFlix original, it sticks very close to the book as PassionFlix productions always do, with terrific acting throughout. Andrew will make you swoon and realize Kate/Mercedes never had a chance to resist the sexy mechanic, Miles Hudson.

Totally unpopular opinion but as an avid PF original subscriber I've watched every movie and show- and I find (with the exception of the earliest movies) anything directed by Tosca herself is just tough to watch. A couple take exception here but in general they feel slow moving, forced acting and I just don't fully enjoy them.

As I watched Wait With Me I was shocked how much I was loving the movie, then I looked it up and realized Musk didn't direct this, ding ding ding.

I truly don't say this to be mean, it's just a preferred style of directing - with the exception of Resisting Roots, which is also not directed by Musk herself (but woof that was a rough one to get through and I've worried more would go this direction- tho admittedly I think casting had more to do with the issues for that movie)- and Tosca doesn't hit the mark for me. This one just WORKED. The style, the cast, the flow- it was pure enjoyment from the get. Also a fabulous book- so that helps!

I haven't reviewed a lot of these movies because honestly I have a love hate relationship with a few as of late... (pls bring back the early days of Hollywood Dirt, Afterburn and Matchmaker's Playbook!!) but this one was worth a rave! Thanks for this PF. Now, can we get the rest of the books? There's a thousand Gabriel.. I'm just asking for 2 or 3 of Amy's now!!

Wait With Me is a sweet, funny, and steamy rom-com. Madison Lawlor and Andrew Biernat truly brought Miles and Kate to life so faithfully and their chemistry lit up the screen. Their performances and emotions they conveyed were brilliant! I also loved that you could feel the chemistry between the entire cast. I was smiling and laughing throughout most of the film and was left with warm feelings afterwards. The cinematography was visually stunning and David Gregory did a wonderful job on the screenplay. Passionflix has truly honoured Amy Daws book and it was a joy to watch this adaptation come to life on screen.

I haven't read the book, but love a good romcom so gave it a go.

It's just alright. The male main character's acting is a bit wooden, female was cheesy but ok, but there wasn't really that much chemistry between the leads. There were some parts that definitely had potential.

I couldn't decide if Dean was supposed to be a good guy that we were secretly supposed to really like or if he was the creepy friend next door.

The ex-boyfriend was too quick to feel any dramatic effect in my opinion.

An ok watch for a lazy morning but going by other reviews seems I probably would have loved it more had I read the book first.
