Mon étoile solaire

For a movie that you watch and it entertains you while having some food for thought and a happy ending, the sun is also a star was nice. Although everything is happening in a spam of a day, which makes things a little hard to believe, the movie had a nice pace and the performances were good. However, the movie was overall predictable and felt like it was missing something.

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.

It's about family, love, and following your hearts desire. The storyline and education of immigrants in America was relevant. Both Jamaican American and Asian American cultures were represented in a beautiful way. The chemistry between Yara and Charles was palpable. The city of New York was the third love of this film. Do yourself a favor, support the young artists. Buy a ticket. You won't be disappointed.

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.

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!
