This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
A clean good movie. I loved it! Don't listen to the critics. My whole family loved it.
In the small town of St Augustine, Louisiana, Josie (Jessica Rothe) is left at the altar by her rising country star groom Liam Page (Alex Roe). Eight years later, Liam is a superstar but his personal live is one of empty relationships. When he sees a news report of his old friend's death, he runs out on his tour to attend the funeral back in the Saint. He receives an unfriendly welcome and stays with his estranged father Pastor Brian. He is shocked to find Josie with 7 year old daughter Billy.This is a gentle romance about lost opportunity. I like Rothe in a couple of things and Alex Roe is relatively fine. The couple holds no great drama. The plot is inevitable. During the funeral, I thought maybe Josie married somebody else which would have added some spice. At least, that would have been interesting. There is the smart talkative kid. She's cute but it isn't more than that. Most of this writes itself which is half the problem. It feels like a movie on autopilot. It could have added a few things to ramp up the drama or given it more poignancy. The only interesting thing is the old flip phone.The original split is blamed on him being young and stupid. It needs something more. It needs a lot more. He needs some kind of addiction so that he could recover from it. That could be part of his journey. He could go back to the church of his father. I don't mind a religious film if it's done right. The choking is also a weak reason for the turn but this movie has no great dramatic turns. This script needs some better imaginative writing.
If you're looking for a feel-good, bit of a tear jerker country romance movie, then this is for you! Very much so along the lines of Nichols Sparks romances and that's more than okay by me. No, it's not a blockbuster nor does it stray from a bit of cliche. But does that make it any less enjoyable? No.I'm not going to write about the plot, the acting etc. I don't need to. This is a feel good movie with some beautiful country music to boot. Give it a go.
Huge fan of the book and found this movie to be a great adaptation. The cast did a great job and the storyline was done on par with the book. This was one of the first indie romance books I ever read on my tablet and it brings me so much happiness to see this gem get the credit it deserves. Ten glittery stars! Must watch romance, perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks!
