Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Best Scene: When She Apologies !! Worst Scene: Opening Scene.Its about a Shy Guy dealing with normal life stuff Which tries to make friend with a Girl he likes which She is also dealing with life stuffs. & at last they get some Courage (to take Decisions) & Well there it goes the whole movie.Well its not that of a great One but Man trust me I don't know but it got a tone which you will love. Or Maybe its Just Me Or Odeya Or Maybe i am "Different".On a Serious note, Don't watch with high expectations as a story or Acting Spectacle. Its Just a Light Hearted normal Movie. & Those who love teen Love stories DO Give it a Watch.
I was interested in this movie because of Freddie and Joel. Loved their early movies in their career. Joel has definitely matured and did well here. Freddie a bit of a disappointment... seems the same persona but older. Anyway, I honestly couldn't finish the movie. The story did seem intriguing but the bad acting/writing was just too corny for me to keep up. I may watch it again some day and maybe finish it...
The entire movie is an absolute waste of time. The only reason I watched the movie is due to the fact that I am a hormonal girl who is madly in love with Freddie Highmore. I do not recommend this movie to anyone at all. Please, I beg you if you are reading this review do not waste two hours of your life watching 'Almost Friends'. Instead, why don't you take a two-hour nap you and your body will thank me later.
I never write reviews but this movie has a 6.4 rating. 6.4?!?!?! And warm, fuzzy reviews. (Rotten rated it as a 2.4 which is much more accurate) I honestly thought it was a nice little B movie at first (not a 6.4!) until I saw the veteran actors uncomfortable performances (at best) and then I knew something was wrong. Look, I like the Good Doctor, but good grief he shows not an ounce of emotion on his face through out the whole movie. Maybe that works at the Bates Motel but then add long close ups and long walks with him going right at the camera and all it is is boring and uncomfortable. And he didn't even look at her, not in her eyes anyway. His eyes flitted all over (over her head, past her, off into space). He was supposed to be a bit shy but I don't think thats what this was. Just check out the scene where she leaves her boyfriends hospital room after he broke an ankle racing Charlie (omg, an all star runner...tripped), he was confessing to her that he had been an asshole, It was a confrontational moment. She was demanding an answer. He had to look her in the eyes. Now just watch it. His left eye spazzed out and he looked like he was having a stroke. The lines he said indicate that he was manning up in the situation but the obvious facial tick he suffered didn't really work for the scene. And If it was just that something got in his eye they would have reshot the scene, right? I'm sorry but I literally laughed out loud at some point toward the end because of the movies cinematography. They thought the movie really needed one more really intense LONG look at his expressionless face. That's why it got one star. It made me laugh.
