If you have been in love---and I mean that special love that only happens once---then you will love this movie about first love. I couldn't turn it off and knew it was something different from the start. Two so destined for love yet one is the only willing one at first. You long for the boy to realize that is one very special girl that he will never forget yet he just doesn't get it until the last. Well, isn't that the way life is so often. Yet in the end all works out. Not a Rob Reiner fan but he he masterfully told a story that I shall not forget.

Usually, I do a lot of research before starting a TV show or a movie. I had no idea what the movie was about before I saw it the first time. Went blindly for it putting my complete faith on my sister's recommendation which mostly would be great. And then it was altogether a heavenly feel. Was a bliss, every dialogue and the importance of each character and the emotional touch that binds everything together has been done brilliantly. It never happens but I loved the movie so much that I saw it twice back to back without a break. Most movies have a fixed plot but the drama is a genre where the director can explore things way beyond the story and give serious importance to granular emotions. This kid love story is no way lesser than the masterpiece trilogy "Before Sunrise....". This is one of the best feel-good movies that anyone would love irrespective of age and taste. It sometimes feels like the IMDb that once was alive before 6 years is completely messed up now. There is no correct way to differentiate good movies from the bad ones when the superhero movies usually get 7 and above rating. This one should definitely be an 8 pointer and above, also surely deserves a strong place in TOP 250 when "Inside Out" can be in.

An unusual romantic story, finally there is a fresh good one different from Hollywood's 'sickness porn' - rebellious teenagers either love bad or love vampire, mystery. This puppy love definitely refreshed my eyes! Their warm heartening love was developed with logic, the flipped went with the flow, it has nothing like a crazy drama. Yet this romantic story still captured my eyes with its heartwarming moments.Besides the movie storyline, this movie really shows the difference between boys and girls inequality in mental maturity. I remembered I watched a video about an experiment, tester made some terrible taste juice and asked kids' options with a guilty face because of her terrible cooking skills; the experiment reflects the difference between boys and girls in young age 3-5 years old. Boys would honestly speak the truth of nasty taste, yet girls would show their compassion in young age, they would try to comfort the tester that her drink wasn't too terrible at all. That experiment was interesting, it just shows that girl naturally has better social skills development compared to the boy.Therefore Juli started her consciousness in age 7, and experienced some thoughtful thoughts about the "complete painting view" in her young age, and in the same age arrange, the boy, Bryce Losk just flipped. Luckily Bryce found the good of Juli, and hold her hands at the end.

Watching the movie, 5th time today; I flipped again. The story has been written in a wonderful and deep manner. The way the emotions of both sides of coin ( the boy and the girl) have been portrayed is very connecting. At all point of time while watching the movie one can actually put herself/himself in the shoes of the characters. Family ties, childhood notions, societal upbringing and school for teenagers have actually been brought to life.A must watch for audience appreciating deep emotions reflected via a common man's life. Its a dive into everyone's childhood dreams. A reflection of how children learn, grow and love truly. Callan and Madeline have given a clean soul to the characters visualized by Rob Reiner. This movie's definitely gonna leave you in a smiling stance pondering of your own childhood, your own sycamore tree :)
