Which Brings Me to You

This is one of my favorite types of movies. Basically it's the story f two people over roughly a 24-hour period. While attending a friend's wedding in the Hamptons, Jane (Lucy Hale) and Will (Nat Wolff) hook up. They're drained to each other and end up in a coat closet where they passionately rip each other's clothes off, about to do the deed. In a lot of films, this is where a torrid love affair would begin. But not here. Will abruptly stops their actions before they get out of hand because it just doesn't feel right to him. (Pretty rare for a guy, I must admit). Instead of them getting it on, the couple take turns revealing all the messy affairs they've encountered over the years. At several points while one of them is confessing in great detail, the other appears in the scene, witnessing it first hand. It's a clever little trick that makes the film that much more intriguing. Their adventures take them to several locations as they open up to each other. Before you know it, it's dawn. Are they any closer to giving into their passion? You'll just have to watch this lovey indie film and find out for yourself. I thought Hale and Wolff had great chemistry. I don't recall seeing either one in anything before, but they're so likable, you can't help but root for them. The film was well written and the cinematography was quite good as well. Just another one of those films that deserve more exposure. --MovieJunkieMark.

Lucy Hale, who I discovered in "The Hating Game", is absolutely lovely...but plays the hot mess Jane in this film. Together with Nat Wolff, who plays Will, they make up the romantic duo which starts as a simple wedding guest hook-up...but quickly and somewhat awkwardly morphs into the potential for more. These two are well suited for one another, Hale and Wolff, with excellent chemistry. The story is unusual for a romantic comedy, in fact it tells itself rather inside out. We learn about all of their past failed relationships...the why you wouldn't want to be in a relationship with either one, but at some point you start pulling for these two. I am not going to say this is the most romantic film, but I think young people today might identify with their plight. While not on my recommendation list, I didn't hate it. I enjoy some of the dialogue and the idea of being brutally honest from the start.

A bland romance movie that though semi-interesting, is not impactful as a romantic "comedy". Their romantic stories and the developments that ensue are the most interesting parts, though by themselves they don't advance the script much forward. It lacks thrilling realism in a sensual way, their experiences are just there to fill up as screenplay fillers and if it was engrossed with a more detailed ending, going together to his daughter's birthday party and being there for at least 5 minutes, it would have gathered another ratings point. Screenplay/storyline/plots: 5 Production value/impact: 4.5 Development: 7 Realism: 6 Entertainment: 5.5 Acting: 6.5 Filming/photography/cinematography: 6.5 VFX: 5.5 Music/score/sound: 5 Depth: 4.5 Logic: 3 Flow: 6 Romance: 5 Ending: 4.5.

This is a movie about two totally toxic people who meet at a wedding and talk all day and into the next day sharing their past romantic failures. The way they treat people is atrocious. I gave a few stars for Lucy Hale. She is an interesting, exciting actress. I hope she realizes that this was a huge mistake. The male lead is irredeemable. The guy is unattractive and unathletic with bad hair. His legs are unstable. They showed him running in one scene, and it looked as if his knees were going to dislocate. Way back in the day, the leading man was tall dark and handsome. This guy is spindly and wimpy. The movie just doesn't make sense that this guy seems to have women throwing themselves at him. I just can't buy it.
