Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
A dreamer is without a job has been in love with a woman named Emma Twist (Rachel Bilson) most of his life, sets out to find the young actress, so he can tell her how much he loves her. Unfortunately his brother (Scott Mechlowicz) thinks he needs help, and people tend to judge him harshly. Emma has issues of her own with a couple of dysfunctional parents, especially her Dad (Richard Jenkins) I saw this a few months ago. I was bored, and in the mood for something romantic to watch. I chose this, and went in with very low expectations. It ended up exceeding the expectations I had, and I shut it off with a smile on my face. The character of Will (Tom Sturridge) will probably have people divided with what they think about him. Personally, I liked his naive character. It was very pleasant, and he was such a good hearted soul, I couldn't help but like him. I think many of us, including myself have often been confused of what they truly wanna do for a living. I managed to empathize with that. Rachel Bilson is cute as a button, and a woman I would do anything to be with. I related to what she was going through, and understood her actions. You'll love her. Richard Jenkins & Blythe Danner are excellent as the parents of Bilson's. The ending is really heartwarming and you'll feel very happy after itFinal Thoughts: It's just a nice romantic film for whenever you're in the mood. It's innocuous fun, and these days that's all I look for. Recommended7.4/10
I LOVED LOVED LOVED this movie. The acting, plot , characters everything was just perfect. Tom makes Willie seem so real and lovable, Rachel is just perfect. I cried and cried and my heart was all warm inside because me and my fiancée met when we were kids and I moved away and so I could relate so much to this movie. I do not know why it was not promoted that much, I only found out about it accidentally. Modern Day Notebook and Titanic wrapped in one with a ribbon on it.Some people say love like this is only in the movies but I disagree, I think love like this does exist but what the movie does is expose it in its full glory. No one in the real world would admit to stalking their crush but that doesn't mean people do not do it. The fight in the bath between Emma's parents made me breakdown. 11/10.
We saw this on Netflix streaming movies.Rachel Bilson is Emma Twist, from Pennsylvania. When she grew up she moved to Los Angeles and became a TV star. She is dating her co-star, and figures they will get married, but she doesn't seem totally devoted to him. And he isn't a very nice guy. As a kid growing up Emma had a best friend, maybe even boyfriend, until they parted when they were 10. But the boy lost his parents in a tragic train wreck, and he was haunted by their presence, often turning aside and talking to them. As a young adult this boy is played by Brit Tom Sturridge as Will Donner. Unknown to Emma, Will has been moving to every place that Emma has lived, to be close to her, although he never was even bold enough to disclose his presence. His brother, a banker, thinks Will is "Effing crazy."Most of the story here is back home in Pennsylvania. Will works up the courage to tell Emma hello on the sidewalk by her home, she thinks by coincidence, but it was part of his "stalking." She isn't pleased when she learns the whole story, but movies of this sort have a way of working out.We enjoyed it.SPOILERS: Will is a funny, spontaneous guy. He is also a juggler. He has been working as a street entertainer, with face paint, in the various cities where Emma has lived, that is why she never recognized him. In the end Emma was able to show Will why his stalking was not right, but after he moved away to San Francisco and sent her a letter, she realized what he had hoped all along, they were soul mates, and she looked him up.
This is one of those movies you watch all the way through because you think it's going to get better. When the characters cry or feel any sort of emotion, you just wonder why because they are so underdeveloped and you are not able to empathize whatsoever. Rachel Bilson isn't great, neither is the main character actor. Also, the guy who plays her boyfriend Aaron is lacking skills as well. He play the character of Alaric on Vampire Diaries, and I actually like him there, but here naahhht so much. The acting is sub par, the plot is lacking, and it kind of feels like a waste of what seemed to be a good idea in the beginning. Definitely not the worst movie I've seen, but definitely not that great either.
