Perfect Addiction

I was really looking forward to this movie adaptation, as the book is actually quite good. However, the first strike against this film is the fact that it has its female lead narrating, and giving a play-by-play of every single thing as it happens. The viewer should be able to intuit the feelings of the actor based on their performance ,not hear juvenile inner monologues about how situations have made them react. The false bravado she displays doesn't exactly lend credibility to the movie, or her role in it. Ross Butler is the only person in this entire production that doesn't over act or make you under value him as an actor. It was OK, but it could've been so much better. Perhaps a different lead actress, one who didn't constantly pull faces,would've made all the difference .

I felt like it jumped so far in between each scene and the way the characters interacted it was like I questioned if I'd accidentally skipped a scene or wasn't paying attention. Like they made the movie hoping people who read the book only watched it so they could fill in the gaps and bugger the people who hadn't read the book 🙃 ....

It had the potential to be a pretty good story if they just focused on filling in the details and building up the tension more between the characters more. There didn't appear to be real sexual tension between any of the main love interests.....

Wanted to love it!!

I actually liked this. It was a suggested movie on Amazon Prime and I figured it was going to be insanely cheesy but put it on to have as sort of background noise while I worked but low and behold- I got zero work done because I was totally caught up in this movie! To be fair- I have never read, nor heard of this book or series before which may have done me a service since most books are 9/10 better than their movie counterparts and seems to be the case here based on the reviews I've seen. From the non-reader's perspective, it was a very fun movie and worth the time if you like movie's with equal parts romance and fight scenes.

We can assume the intentions of the director, actors, and such was meant for a romantic action movie involving R rated scripting with multiple sëx scenes (no chemistry though), physical violence (their version of fighting and MMA or whatever), and a soundtrack....

I gave the movie chances to redeem itself, and it...is....not worth watching unless you simply want to admire some actors, have a LOL-time by indulging in drinks +more. It seems to fullfill the modern checklist for wattpad readers in the general genre.

The opening sequence has Sienna, the main character's narrative and a quick summary of who she is, what she does, and the objective of the film: *Spoiler Jax ain't shït*

It's cringe throughout the film and acting.

Is it intentional to fit the script/genre? The leads lacked the necessary chemistry to make it an effective film.....unfortunately the side characters as well (sorry to drag y'all into this, granted everyone did their best at acting!) The overall combination did nothing for the movie.

The sister's immediate reaction in that scene: flat.

The movie appears rushed, as quick to produce and it falls in the category of movies that should be...in the drafts.

Did anyone take the time to review the clips? Were there test shots, any rehearsals and auditions between the cast? Or is it simply blind cast-type based on the facts of being a B-list actor in the industry with good looks?

Please devote time, money and energy to better people and ideas, stories that capture the audience -

In short, a waste of time, must have been a nice work-out routine and regime! #GoFighting!

I don't like this movie personally but more on that later.

I can describe the movie in one sentence: Unnecessary erotic scenes combined with a little Rocky story, a basic love story and basic characters that we all know from so many other movies.

For me that just doesn't work, but I have to admit that I'm not a fan of romance movies so keep that in mind.

However, I think for people who like romances or people who found the trailer interesting, this movie is gonna be good.

I don't know if somebody is even going to read this because the time I write this review the movie only has 13 ratings but if you're somebody who reads this, I would appreciate it if you give this review a thumb up :)
