Let's be realistic.
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
I hope this movie will be a continuation for nick and brooke ... sometime very hope. and at the end of this film is very touch when in the phone box I like the scane part is very touching. farewell and hope again they will meet again maybe in the hotel room they hahahaha thank you i love this movie
The movie is brilliant! Among all other movies in the box offices this one is like that rare jewel that glimmer in between of all. The movie leaves you with the feeling that things can be very simple and makes you feel happy. And it's all about us how to choose to speak and react to other people. Chris Evans did gate job - to work on something that it's not all for the fortune and glory, but for love and the simple things. Admiration!
Before We Go appears to be the directorial debut of Chris Evans. Having success playing Captain America, he has yet to be getting such high profile projects apart from those films or the Avenger films. This film is quite different as a relationship type romantic drama and it shows. For a film where there is mostly talking and running around from different location, it is not boring and we immediately like the lead character played by Chris Evans. Alice Eve does a good job in her role playing hard to get at first, then eventually everything comes into place as we see the chemistry smoothen.Though this film is very predictable, in that we know by the end of the film both characters will end up being together and will cause a "meant to be with each other effect" despite the plot and storyline having issues that the characters are married or dealing with pains from another relationship. We have seen story lines like this before in that there are little issues stopping the leads from being with each other but as the film goes, little details come out and eventually everything works for the best. Some negative reviews say that this movie felt a little unrealistic and that it seems Alive Eve's character was lying about getting robbed since the film did not show her actually getting robbed, but that made it better and slightly less predictable, in that we are assuming she is being honest but it also kept up guessing if she was really telling the truth. Had they thrown in a twist that she was conning to Chris Evans for whatever reason, the tone would have been drastically different. This movie did have a relatively low budget and it showed. Overall, this is the kind of film Hollywood rarely seems to make anymore, and we can see why the audience rates this film so highly (a 6.9 on IMDb) as opposed to critics. Recommend if like simple based romantic dramas.
There's a big problem with Chris Evans' debut. That problem is cell phones. To rewind a little bit: the film is about an incredibly handsome but sad busker (Chris Evans) working at Grand Central Terminal in NYC. Playing for the late crowd he stays long enough to see a woman (Alice Eve) rush out to catch the last train out. Her cellphone smashes as it falls out of her bag as she passes by. He does the right thing and tries to return it to her which is easy as she's missed the last train out. And she's been robbed. And being a poor busker despite his valiant attempts to be gentlemanly and help this woman this man, Nick, has no money. Also HIS cellphone is dead! And on it goes...It is perfectly plausible in real life that these inconveniences would pile up. In a movie it begins to stretch the boundaries of plausibility, especially since any person watching the film will know it's a romance and that these two attractive strangers will now be doomed to wander the city alone at night together slowly confessing secrets to one another and falling in love... Because yes, this belongs to the little cottage industry of Before Sunrise imitators. Before Sunrise for those not in the know, is a delightful little walking and talking movie from 1995. It also features two young gorgeous heterosexuals walking around a city (Vienna) and falling in love. Unfortunately for all the little imitators that have cropped up since, Before Sunrise is not as simple as it looks. It features two actors with great chemistry, a really genius script, and it takes place in the 90s when cellphones, credit cards and access to the internet weren't as ubiquitous as they are now. Unfortunately for Before We Go it really pales in comparison to a movie made nearly 20 years previous. Not only does the script not really ever get a handle on the cell phone issue (and I was reminded while watching this of Fort Tilden an excellent contemporary film about getting lost in a city where the characters have access to cellphones and ready cash and still manage to screw up their lives in increasingly hilarious, and yes plausible, ways) but the dialogue isn't that great either the reveal of why Alice Eve's character had to catch that train is dumb. The solution to her problem, when it comes, is dumb AND EASY. Chris Evans fans will be pleased though. The guy has charisma in spades and once Alice Eve's character gets over her fear that this guy Nick might be a creep rapist stalker, he's able to romance her with seductive looks. If you find Evans attractive and are willing to suspend your disbelief about how absurd a situation can get then by all means, watch this movie and allow yourself to be seduced by the romance. For everyone else it should be a hard pass.
