The Way You Look Tonight

I caught this at a film festival and am so excited that it's finally available to the general public. In addition to a well thought-out story, its an impressive acting feat from the members of the cast who were able to so convincingly play the same character. The leading actor did a fantastic job of maintaining chemistry with the rest of the cast. It was at times funny, heartbreaking, and moving. Highly recommend.

Glad I knew so little going in (be careful reading the other reviews here!): each revelation as the clever narrative unfolded surprised and delighted me.

I wasn't expecting to be moved and challenged by what appears at first to be a standard meet-cute rom com. Nick Fink does a great job in the leading man role: he's lovable, confused, and also not perfect, which really drew me in.

John Cerrito wrote, directed, co-edited, and co-produced this: rather than leading to a vacuous vanity project (as that often does), this is a terrifically successful embodiment of what's clearly his singular vision.

This film has really stuck with me!

It is really hard to find new ideas for movie authors and especially to bring the ideas to life. This movie made it happen. Sweet and funny way to make us think about relationships and that our beauty is on the inside.

I nearly gave up on this film in the first half hour, but lead actor Nick Fink kept me interested. For a newcomer, he has immense chemistry with the camera and believable delivery.

The script is flawed in that it has natural humor, but has a sitcom smirk. The two go together like honey and motor oil. All of the bones are here for a spectacular TV series, if handled mindfully and steered away from gags.

The parallels with people in so many life situations who do not conform to expectations is right there. Examine the human experience in those varying situations and the scripts write themselves.

This was a valiant effort and there are some promising talents in the extensive cast.

Production note: this is a film where photos with the names in the end credits seem crucial.

The characters are all likeable . . . loveable even. The acting is good. The concept original.

The problem is that, while it's watchable and it IS absorbing, it isn/t either of those things to a great enough extent to rate the numbers of stars I'm seeing here.

I watched and enjoyed the whole thing, sort of. But had to fast forward several times 'cause it just wasn't quite absorbing enough.

It IS heartwarming . . . it's just, I guess, not quite well enough written to draw you all the way in.

Very loving, though. It has a good heart.
