Every Day

So this is a very high end concept, a good idea and it might also make a great science fiction movie. Or at least a way better drama than the one we get served here. The psychological element goes a bit awry and gets replaced by romance or rather a romantic idea. Therefor the movie also get into the traps of many cliches that riddle romantic movies.

So while the movie has strong foundations, the building on top of it is still quite shaky at best (if you allow me this analogy). If you are young and do not care too much about going deep into subjects, you probably will like this. And I don't mean that in a bad way at all, we're talking movies here and entertainment - and above all taste in things! So take that into consideration and watch if you want a light hearted romantic movie with quite some twist to it

This film was far better than I expected. With a unique plot that embraces our changing society, 'Every Day' feels like a breath of fresh air in the teenage romance genre. While it does conform to some of the stereotypical conventions, it's fantasy elements allow it to feel different and therefore more interesting than many romance films. Saying that, it's not fantastic as it is rather generically shot, the plot becomes fairly predictable, and it is rather forgettable. Still, it was entertaining while it lasted and paced well enough to never let you feel bored. 6/10

Forget polygamy, hows about dating someone new every day? Well, the same someone who happens to inhabit a different skin upon waking. Great premise for a movie, so here we are.

"Every Day" is one of those giddy teen fantasies riding on a boffo, supernatural twist, that attempts to handle a crazy concept in a serious manner. And it kinda works. Works because the topics at hand - relationships, diversity and why we love - are universal enough to carry a twilight zone scenario.

What could have been a comedic mess, or a ridiculous sci-fi drama, instead turns out to be a charming, clever little film, delivering a table full of food for thought. Sure it gets a bit sappy at times, but the tissue industry needs the support.

If I didn't read the book, my rating might have been higher, but there were lots of scenes from the book that I would have enjoyed in the movie. For instance, most of the book is about Nathan trying to find out who A is. I would have loved to see that, but unfortunately they cut it down to just a few scenes with Nathan. The acting was great and what was presented was good, but if I had to choose between the movie and the book, I'd pick the book. So if you get the chance, read the book. You'll really enjoy it, especially if you enjoyed this movie.

Some movies are just about okay but somehow still good enough and this is one of them. I didn't think I was going to like this when I read the synopsis but it was better than I expected. For the most part everything was kept simple,it doesn't need you to concentrate and notice all the details despite A and Rhiannon's complex relationship. All the actors and actresses playing A were surprisingly consistent and you didn't have to wonder whether or not it was A. I didn't really feel emotionally attached to the movie through most of it, I just kept watching it to finish it but A's little "breakup speech" towards the end really captured me, it felt real and inevitable; before she told him to stop talking he really looked like he could have kept going on and on. The hopeless romantic in me wished they still tried to work it out and that's how I thought it was gonna go so I was surprised at how crushed I felt because I didn't realize I was invested in the movie up to that point.

I didn't want to write anything about this because I thought it was mediocre and forgettable but I want something to remind me that a film doesn't have to be best or close to it for me to enjoy it. It's just an okay movie and that's okay.
