Nos Vemos em Vênus

Two strangers: Mia, an orphaned girl, and Kyle, a boy reeling from the guilt of a fatal accident, hit the road to find Mia's biological mother. The characters are likeable, their journey is all fun and the Spanish scenery is just beautiful. The story is emotional and a little bit of a tearjerker, too.

Unlike recent YA movies (After, Through My Window, Beautiful Disaster, My Fault), this one is not centered on fighting & sex scenes; instead, it gives off the vibes of good old romances about young love from several years ago. It's the right choice if you want to watch something sweet & cute at the weekend or on a Friday night.

An 18-year-old orphan who is dying wants to travel to Europe to track down her mother, so when she meets a kind-hearted young man who is recovering from the guilt of a fatal accident, she convinces him to accompany her on the journey. See You on Venus follows Mia (Virginia Gardner) and Kyle (Alex Aiono), two misfit American teens who travel to Spain in search of Mia's birth mother. As the pair road trip through the picturesque cities of Andalusia and fall in love, they discover that the most important question isn't who gave you life but what you decide to do with it.

To begin with, they are doing the itinerary in a way that I dream of doing, a tour of France (Europe as a whole would be my preference), in a mini motorhome, a Kombi, deliciously perfect... A cute teen movie, full of traumatized teenagers, but with a high spirit and joy that warms our hearts... Beautiful photography, basic script, convincing couple...

This is a movie with a deep message that I also enjoyed after reading the original novel written by Victoria Vinuesa. I loved to watch how the characters open up about their true worries in a different, loving and totally truthful way that I have never seem till now in a movie. Some of my beliefs, regarding life after death and how much loved we truly are, completely changed. Mia is a character that helped me to question myself, as after seeing her deep love for humanity and her true worries about our indiferent behaviour, I couldn't resist to question myself in that way too. With no doubt I recommend watching the film and also reading the book.

First of all, I must say that the movie was good, especially for this era where emotions have faded. It can bring the power of love back to the screen. It's true that the movie was cliché, but as we all know, films with clichéd themes can still have a significant impact if well executed. Especially in a world that needs these kinds of films to remind people of the strength of love. Just like there were issues in the movie, I don't have a problem with its clichéd nature. However, the director and the writer could have added depth to the emotions in many places with some changes. The cinematographer could have captured the depth of emotions more effectively in many emotional scenes through skilled camera movement, and at least prevent the cinematography from being too clichéd. The writer could have crafted stronger dialogues, especially during the climax of the film. Personally, I would rate the cinematography a 6 out of 10, the dialogues a 5 out of 10, and overall, I would give the film a rating of 5 to 5.2 for its effort in portraying love.

Acting is pretty atrocious from almost every character. Everything is stiff, the music is predictably cheesy and immature, like the background of a barney episode.

Script is predictable, cliche, and well, dorky.

It seems like an AI wrote this script.

All the scenes seem really rushed, like this was a first time director just trying things out for the first time, and wanting to get everything done in one take.

Seriously, you could guess the next line of each character. That's how predictable everything is. Here's the part what they cry, here's the loving father son moment, etc.

Don't waste you time. There are much better movies in this genre.
