Chiedimi tutto

Strange films make for strange reviews.

Robertson is actually in her mid-20s but in this adaptation she plays younger (ie, a teenager, clues are in the script if you listen) and that becomes a cheat of sorts.

The script based on book about how adolescent girls get "confused" by the digital age we live in, has a lot of plot arcs about cheating, so cheating is clearly a theme here, or at least a sub-theme.

The direction follows the vibe of Easy A, or Ferris Bueller, where the young person appears (initially) to be the smartest person in the film (possibly on the planet?) and the constant voice-over only adds to that impression.

I did not read the book. Those reviewers that did say that the lessons and morals from the book do not translate well onto the big screen.

I will concede the point to them.

Robertson, aside from playing younger, is also DDG (drop dead gorgeous) and seems to have gone to the Emma Roberts School of Acting. While she is not a physical match for Roberts, she mugs and struts and double-takes and pouts in the exact same rhythm, so the effect is (see the heading for the review) odd.

The other casting choices are also odd. Big names (Martin Sheen, Justin Long) drop by to play forgettable parts. Very odd.

The technicals are outstanding.

I like Britt Robertson for all the right reasons. She is beautiful, and extremely talented. This movie, however entertaining, is really a showcase of Britt's talents. She truly 'lives' this role.

I realized her unique acting talent years ago in "Dan in Real Life", where she plays the middle daughter of Dan. I knew she was going on to bigger roles, and a successful Hollywood career if she wanted it.

In this movie aimed at the adolescent audience, she plays a confused teenager writing a blog revealing her daily activities and secrets, advised to do so by her high school guidance counselor in lieu of moving onto her first year in collage.

The main issue that Robertson has had to deal with in tinsel town is the fact that she is typecast as a teenager roll after roll, even though she is getting close to 28 years old at this writing. In the 2015 feature film Tomorrowland with costar George Clooney, she plays a high school student as well.

If you like Britt Robertson, or if you aren't aware of her yet, and you want to see someone "nail an acting role", I strongly advise this movie. However, if you are a prude, or someone that has hangups about a young woman walking around her house in panties and a t-shirt, please pass on this movie, and go see a shrink.

A story has to have an ending. This film is 99 percent exposition. We get to know the character, Britt Robertson on every level. She is developing herself. She is learning and growing up and then we are left like her mother with nothing. She is not using her credit cards so what happened. The low ratings are justified. A great developing story has to have more than some folksy song to end it. The fault dear Brutus is in the writing. The acting by Robertson is tops. But give the story an ending!

It seems most have expressed being upset with the ending as it may lead us to ask "What's the point?" or simple frustration with it all. To me, no. The movie was beautiful. There are scenes that I loved the way it was framed. I found myself enjoying the filming and the way it came across. What now feels even more real after watching. The style was on point with the story and its ending.

The characters gave life advice that I felt was great and added to the fact that they helped impact the main character to decide what to do with life.

I'll keep this short but I will lovingly recommend this movie to friends and movie fans alike. I think most will miss this movie but they're only missing out on what seems to be an empty, carefree movie that turns out to be something much more.

I watched on a limb due to someone's recommendation and thoroughly happy I clicked and watched.

This is one of the very few movies I've watched in my lifetime that I felt in my soul. I've read some of the bad reviews for this movie and I'm honestly disappointed. The people that rated this movie with low scores are the one that are incapable of relating to it. There were several times were I had to pause the movie and let the events and dialogue sink in. Maybe it's because I can relate to it very well. Or maybe I just have a very messed up life.. The only part I didn't like was the ending. The manner that the story line ended in was kind of calming. But the short biography at the end of the movie seemed like something out of a Forensic Files episode.. It gave me the chills and ruined some of details that I liked within a couple of the main characters... I also felt like this movie left out a lot of details. Characters simply popped into the movie with barely any background to follow and it was a bit confusing.. Overall, this was a great movie. Listen carefully to the dialogue, some of it is pretty deep..
