you know, maybe you shouldnt cast yourself as the main lead if you cant act. not that it wouldve saved the movie but maybe i wouldve felt a bit less miserable sitting throughout this whole thing...which i doubt bc the writing is also horrible. unfortunately no saving remedies here

i adore vivian oparah's performance in this, very endearing and realistic in a natural way without feeling forced or over the top but quite charming instead

u certainly know its a movie from the 2010s by the blatant racism and transphobia used as a gag. it couldve been absolutely iconic but this does leave a sour taste in my mouth, still appreciate the characters and the story though. carly, kate and amber shouldve just been a power throuple

this kind of plot really only has one way to go and it always plays out the same, which ultimately leads to the movie's predictable demise. im afraid this trope just doesnt land after the 10th time, hell, even less times, so the 2 hour runtime was sooo unnecessary and difficult to get through. the story itself was as plain as the hospital walls they spent most of their time surrounded by. it couldve been more and it couldve been better but its not absolutely horrible i guess

Falling in Love Like in Movies

Falling in Love Like in Movies

badly written snooze fest with absolutely no development whatsoever. the story was bland and didnt really move anywhere interesting, it felt so stagnant like it was somehow just standing still instead of actually developing and moving forward. the same goes for the characters, somehow bagus still remained to be pretty awful after his supposed "redemption" but somehow this was still enough for him to get a 'good' ending, meanwhile hana wasnt allowed to live her life or given space to navigate her grief bc bagus was convinced he was entitled to her life and person, that her character was just suffocated in the story and suffered the same fate as the other characters (no development and such). the lack of genuine characterization made them feel less like humans and more like empty vessels serving as plot devices, which is a generous statement considering the plot. if your rom-com fails to establish human characters, in turn preventing any emotions and feelings to develop, which is pretty crucial for romance as a genre imo, then you have failed in making a good romance movie. the concept of this being black and white and the reasoning behind it is intriguing but unfortunately it was poorly executed. great, now its in grayscale AND boring. no interesting shots or composition or anything. the one and only time they tried to do something interesting was the split screen when bagus tried to call hana and walked down the stairs to dissappear. at first i was like "oh, thats cool!" but then the camera panned along bagus' descent, following him to the door and that just shattered the illusion and made it less interesting and honestly, in my own eyes, bad. all in all, everything just felt poorly executed, uninspired, self-serving and boooriiiing.
