Featured reviews
Life in a Year is predictable in a way, like most of these movies , but it tried to put its own spin on this story.
Jaden Smith is growing on me. You can tell he's talented and will keep growing as a performer. Cara is great like normal.
So don't listen to the overly negative reviews on here. That's just 2020 internet troll stuff. Most of these clowns on here just need something to do so they b-tch about everything. If you hate a certain type of movie, don't watch it. That's easier than watching it and then complaining about it. Me? I hate musicals. So I don't watch them and then blame the cast for me hating it. Get a life people.

Well, i loved this movie and i don't get the hate! It's predictable, like almost all romance movies, but that doesn't make it bad. Tbh I still get surprised with some scenes. The movie started really well with some funny scenes and as we went deeper the sadder it got, which is not bad. I cried about 3 times while watching it, so I would say that it's definitely an emotional movie. Personally, I believe that romances are one of the best types of movies, so i was really attracted to watch it, just by the title. I got fascinated with the acting! It was really good and there are also some familiar faces that I believe everyone knows which makes it even more appealing. I would definitely recommend it if you're a hopeless romantic like me and be ready to cry!
I don't seek out romantic movies but wife got to choose. I had no idea what the movie was about so the cancer reveal got my attention and didn't let go. I knew where the movie was probably heading and there were some little twists along the way. Reading most of the negative comments on here I see a lot of people projecting onto the actors or the Smith/Pinkett family and not actually the merits of the film. It was a good watch with a diverse set of characters mirror the real world - not just some WASP pocket of America.
Not sure what all the hate is about!
Yeah it's a story about coming of age teens, struggling with life, learning to be themselves and falling in love. And yes... The storyline has been done before and it's been done better, but who cares! This movie has a lot of important lessons about living your dreams, being your authentic self and not being afraid of what other people think. I found all the characters in this film to have depth and I cared about them and that's what I really like from a movie. I have seen some pretty horrid crap movies in my life and this definitely isn't one of them. Sure, it's no Oscar winner, but it made me feel things and that's all I want from a good film sometimes.
