Love, Rosie (2015)

Absolutely Fantastic

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Love, Rosie is a beautiful movie. I do love the storyline, the plot, the dialogue and everything. They are just fit perfectly in place. Lily is a perfect Rosie and Sam is the best Alex. Every situation, every scene, every coincidence in the movie just remind me of our real life. We can't expect everything to be like we want it to be. You can't push your crush to another girl because you think that he has been your friends since you were young, so 'he has to be your best friends forever' This movie teaches me so many things like 'If you never ask, the answer will always be no' Sometimes said something out loud is better than left it unsaid. At least you had a chance to say it out. Whether it ends in a good way or a bad way, it was experience. If you are the sensitive person, this movie will be the reason for teardrops on your cheeks. I was crying during many scenes, they are so touchy. I can't describe those feelings into the words for 100 percent. Go watching this staggering film by yourself and you will honestly, completely, truly understand me :) Love, Rannaree

I remembered seeing a trailer for this film on YouTube; didn't interest me, but I remembered the poster standing out. And after watching Hunger Games, I was interested in seeing more Sam Claflin films, so I put it in my mental list.Story: Best friends Rosie and Alex go their separate ways after secondary school, with Alex moving to America and Rosie accidentally becoming pregnant after prom night. As the years go by, Rose and Alex gamble everything to keep their friendship alive, while love also springs between them.Good set up, good cast. Overall I enjoyed it, and my favourite part was definitely Lily Collins and Sam Claflin's chemistry. I thought it was believable how they transitioned from best friends to being in love at the end, even if a few scenes felt pointless. I also enjoyed the friendship between Rosie and her friend Ruby. I liked the supporting characters Sally and Bethany. I thought the pacing was fine, I wasn't bored at all watching it.I have negatives of course so 1) the fact that they don't age. I get it since two attractive people have been cast in the roles and they probably don't want to recast them. But seriously, Rosie's daughter is 14 or 15 years old by the end, and they look like sisters. Age up your actors; it's distracting. Keeps reminding me of the McAvoy/Fassbender X-Men films; Age for crying out loud! I mean a lot times you'd probably forget that since Collins and Claflin have such great chemistry, but once they stop talking to each other it becomes distracting again.Also, there is one completely cartoon character: Greg, Rosie's baby daddy and later husband. If Greg exists in the books and is accurate to the book character; fair enough. But it was the laziest way to portray a deadbeat. There's a scene where Rosie and Alex are at Rosie's dad's funeral; it's raining and tries to portray itself as a serious seen. But, Greg straight up walks up to the two, puts on his glasses, acting like he's at a party and goofing around. What!?? Is the script so desperate to portray Greg as a douche, they had to resort to that. Who ok'd that. If you need a scene like that, don't put it in a funeral scene.I enjoy romantic films when I'm in the mood, and apart from those few distracting elements, I enjoyed the film. I'd recommend it, just watch out for those things I've mentioned.

I start to watch Love, Rosie since Sam who plays in Me Before You, play as well as Alex in Love, Rosie. I was so mesmerized by him ( You have to check him in that movie. A heart touching one which gives a realistic point of view about love and life, dream and hope. )Sad to be told, the plot itself is quite interesting at first but getting lame along with the story.It's a story about two best friends, who knows each other so well, so close, and everything goes well until love grows up between them. They struggle to be together, but always miss the timing. We can say, every moment and event turn out to separates them so they end up with the others. Both Alex and Rosie, play the role well. The chemistry does exist between them. Though, the lack of development of all the characters can be seen through the story. Iwas hope there was more than that. Sometimes, the pattern which separates them, over and over again, makes the story appears as boring and unrealistic one. It is still a good movie though, for those who likes romance and the idea of fated loved.

Better without the trite and predictive plot. After seeing the cover photo for the movie, I thought I knew how it was all going to end. But after 20 minutes and all the twists and turns, I realize my assumptions were all wrong and didn't know HOW this movie was going to reach its denouement. Rose and Alex, brilliantly acted by Lily Collins and Sam Claflin, had great chemistry that you rooted for them throughout. Yes, it is a chick flick, but the rich comedy of errors and "safe" sex scenes make it humorous for both sexes, with enough drama to make it truly worthwhile. This is a great date night, rainy afternoon, snowed in movie for all.Note: The music used in some scenes will have you grinning from ear to ear.
