O Sol Também é uma Estrela

I could be just a hopeless romantic but the movie was nice. I have actually fallen in love with someone in the course of a day or a long bus ride. The relationship lasted for a long time but wasn't perfect. Sometimes it's easier for people with different backgrounds to fall in love than with similar backgrounds. Hey, it's not like we haven't seen the rise in interracial relationships in American and I'm all for it.

After seeing a commercial for this movie, I decided to read the book, which I LOVED! Naturally, I expected to like the movie as much as I liked the book. Yeah, didn't happen. The events in the movie seem more rushed, and that takes away from their impact on causing the characters to fall in love.

The most epic disappointment for me was that the movie does not contain the side stories of some minor characters like the book does (and the character with the most touching side story isn't even in the movie). I really liked the "everybody has a story" element that was throughout the book and wish it were in the movie.

Like another reviewer said, maybe you'll like this movie if you haven't read the book, but if you have read the book, don't bother.

I really enjoyed the whole movie, beginning to end! All about young love, taking chances, believing in something, power of positive thinking and following your dreams! Don't believe the bad reviews, treat yourself to this little gem of a movie! It'll make your day better!

The Sun is Also a Star (2 out of 5 stars).

The Sun is also a Star is a dull and boring romantic drama film. The plot being about Daniel (Charles Melton) who is suppose to be a medical student. Who falls for Natasha (Yara Shahidi) who doesn't believe in love. And has one day left in New York until her family is deported to Jamaica. They both fall for each other.

The plot is boring and dull. It is cliché. And predictable. Every thing bad you can expect for a romantic drama film. The acting is dull. The two leads are forgettable.

Overall, The Sun is also a Star is a bad film. Boring acting, terrible direction, the script is forgettable, and the story does not do anything new with the material.

I mean.... it was really boring, especially the beginning. Having read the book, I found that it was missing important things. I don't know if I would recommend it. But I mean if you haven't read the book you might have a better experience than I had.
