The Trailer

The Review

This film in particular is a copycat in whole.

The movie posters looks as if it rips off “The Notebook”, while the story itself isn’t original, but a remake of Birthday Girl and Matchpoint, pfftt.

The plot and direction to me seems childish and ridiculous. I was perplexed at the many scenes at hand in the film for which boggles me.

Anyway the only thing that made watching this film somewhat satisfying is the eye-candy stars and beautiful cinematography.

The Good

• I like the use of flashbacks, well executed

The Bad

• Slow movie pace
• Simple-minded plot, no twist
• Terrible character development
• Too many sub-plots to keep track
