The Way We Weren't

I love Ben Lawson, and I enjoy watching anything he's in. It's a lighthearted romcom and I don't understand why there are so many angry people saying that the good ratings are fake. Sometimes I just want a lighthearted movie that I can kick back and watch when I'm tired or when I've had a busy day at work. I thought the storyline was cute and the acting was fine. I don't know enough about cinematography to know if the filming was bad or good and frankly, I don't care. I think it's a cute storyline with a sweet outcome. If you like cheesy stories, you'll like this. If you're expecting an award-winning film, you won't. It is what it is.

This is not a super duper budget romantic comedy, its not a dead serious, academy award winning stuff but its jolly good fun all the way through. its about internetdating(so its a cliche) but this was a bit more twisted and cute than lots of other b-movies of the comedy genre seen lately. its lots of good old slapstick, and fun of the kind you realize 3 secs before it comes, and it really made me laugh especially in the 15 first minutes. apart from slapstick, its also spangled with a lot of dipstick humour, and a bit of adultery, so if you like that the grumpy old man says,take a look at ''the way we weren't''

It seems like reviewers either loved it or hated it with no in between. I had been debating whether to watch on Prime which is why I checked out IMDB reviews - to help me decide. The result was I had to watch it to see which side I agreed with. I liked it. Very low budget but it didn't feel cheap. The characters are all likeable and the acting was good - no-one took it too seriously which kept it light. And it was funny. It had some filler but generally it moved along at a reasonable pace. Did I mention there are some very funny scenes. I will probably watch it again and soon because it left me with a good feeling.

Rotten acting, terrible camera work, and not a funny line in sight. I gave this rubbish a 1/10 in the hope of balancing the current 6.9. I'll be very surprised if this ends up with better than 4.5 when real voters start voting it down instead of the cast voting it up.

The sound, the camera work, the lightning, and the realism of the effects (like the accident) are of the lowest quality. I have no doubt about that.

The script could need some polishing, but the story as a whole was kind of enjoyable.

The actors were pretty decent, or even good, but as it happens, the actors cannot carry the whole weight of a movie and compensate for other flaws.
