dasha-kush-master (Potential spoiler in reference to similar movies)As many others have pointed out, the movie is quite simple and linear. Yet, in this case, it is a feat rather than a failure. Due to this, the attention of the viewer is never redirected towards insignificant events or characters - everything: every scene, gesture, word and phrase matter. None of them are fillers, which are nowadays so widely used in movies, simply to capitalize on screen time. No. This movie is out to simply tell you this story - nothing else. Take of it what you will, but I guarantee that you will be feeling some sort of strong emotion - whether it be happiness, disappointment, disillusionment, sadness...Yet that is what the movie is really about. Feelings, emotions, thoughts, deliberations... both conscious and subconscious. Seeing the world from a different perspective. Which is another thing worth mentioning. The second time you watch this movie, you will no longer be thinking what you did on the first go. Keith will no longer be the 'edgy and obnoxious kid, whom the screenwriters purposefully over-dramatized to appeal to the younger audience.' Believe me. "Yay, another 10 Things I Hate about you/fault in the stars/now is good" were essentially my first thoughts. (Great movies (minus TFIOS)), but can't really compare oranges and potatoes.) Very well executed and well acted, as well as fun to watch. Nothing to complain about besides the questionable character interactions/the occasional less-than- necessary scene. Definitely one of my favorite 'romances' (if you can call it that, as rom is not the primary focus here); right up there with Jeux d'Enfants. So just do yourself a favour and watch it, preferably with an open mind (as I'm sure this style and type of film doesn't appeal to everybody).

edwardp-burns I am not sure why I started watching this film on Netflix. I am 58 years old and am well past the age where the teen genre is appealing to me but this film kept me guessing. Where is the plot going? The Keith character intrigued me, having him missing at times throughout the film only added to the mystery. Also what is Keith's intent with Natalie? Is he a good guy or sinister? I have been watching a lot of films lately and sometimes even the films I think are worthy telegraph the plot line, the ending. Maybe, I wasn't paying enough attention but I really did not know what was going to happen so there was this mysterious dramatic tension that built throughout this film. I also enjoy films that show character transformation and Natalie changes through her interaction with Keith. She is not the same young woman she was at the beginning of this film.Keith stays with me in a way few films have.

sam-higgins4815 I'm not much for romances, especially ones like this that appear to have a million clichés...and looking through the 5 or so bad reviews on this film, I kept seeing people saying that this has been done before. But it really hasn't. This movie is one for the books, man. And trust me when I say I was quite hesitant to watch Jessie McCartney act. But my Lord, this movie took my breath away. It's 100% true that when it ends, you just want to applaud it. People are so angry, claiming that this isn't a love story and that the movie tries to make out that it is. I won't say they're wrong, but they clearly were not watching the same movie I was because I did not hear the phrase "I love you" come into play a single time. And while, even so, the film does portray a sappy, teenage love story, that is absolutely not all there is to it. If all you can see is the clichés and the cheesy teenage love, then you are going to miss out on something beautiful. This movie is so touching and so wonderfully crafted. I watched it expecting nothing, and it wound up impacting me greatly. Do yourself a favor. Watch this movie. Watch it with an open mind, and you will remember it.

ella-gulpinar This was an amazing movie. It had everything a movie should have. It was love and life, but it also dark and sad. It reminded med a lot like the movie remember me, but it was so match better. Keith was someone who i think everyone should look up to. He was also someone, i for one, want be like. He understood what life was about and how valuable it was. It felt like he knew everything. An other thing about this movie was the cast. It was so good. They showed just enough feeling in every scene. Im speechless.To sum it up, it was many ups and downs, and I don't usually like that in a movie, but in this it made the movie what it was; Perfect.
