5/13/2024 0 Comments Purple background heartI mentioned it was cute, because the actors made it look cute for a romance, but the background of the characters and the trauma bond created between them, having to endure so much struggle to be together, I fear, promotes idealization of these types of "we must struggle" romances, which are a little toxic. ![]() The characters are very cringe-y, and the romance is very "enemies to lovers" Rom-Com cliche. I barely could watch the whole movie, but somehow made it to the end. Overall, the movie was watchable, and some of the songs are nice. Why not tie your hair back or cut it shorter? This is a small gripe but why does Cassie keep tucking her hair in the collar of her jackets or tops? It is weird. It's sad that Cassie found herself in this situation because she could not afford the medicine she needed to survive.ĩ. Luke gets mad at Cassie for being upset by Armando's general and racist comment and he says 'You know what he meant'.Ĩ. No one, not even Frankie, said anything to Armando at the restaurant to correct him. Some of the things Luke and his friends said in the movie where just wrong. So it made the sudden change of heart at the end of the movie feel unemotional.ħ. Cassie is quite an unlikeable character right up until the end of the movie. I would have liked to see more passion and emotion earlier in the movie, not one scene in the last 2 minutes of the movie where they declare their love for each other.Ħ. It was a pretty predictable movie, especially the ending where the two leads finally admit they have feelings for each other. How about showing this guy struggling with his past mistakes and demons. Was this to create a more emotional movie, to make the audience cry? They could have done that with Luke's story, being a wounded soldier, being a guy who had a fractured relationship with his dad and a serious problem with a guy who he owed money to. Why kill off their friend Frankie? He was a sweet guy and I would have liked to see him later in the movie getting engaged to his girlfriend. She felt resentful that he had to stay in her apartment and made him sleep on the couch with a serious injury.Ĥ. The guy helped her and was putting his career, freedom and reputation on the line. ![]() Cassie could have been a little nicer to Luke. Why would the military officers believe some random scumbag drug dealer who looks like he's high on drugs, telling them that Luke and Cassie are in a fake marriage? Where was his evidence? All Luke had to say was he was lying and had no proof.ģ. Didn't they get married quickly because they fell in love quickly? Then they should have been showing that for everyone to see.Ģ. There is very little chemisty between them. Then when they are talking on the video call as his colleagues are sitting beside him, could no one see how awkward they appear to be. She looks uncomfortable with him as she says goodbye to him before he leaves on the bus. Why couldn't Cassie try a little harder to make this fake marriage look real? Within a few hours of marrying Luke she's arguing with him in front of his friends and colleagues. I think a stronger script and a little more care and attention to detail, would have made this a better movie.ġ. The main storyline was interesting, but there were some flaws which made the story hard to take serious. I think Nicholas Galitzine who plays Luke has a little more range but he doesn't seem to get movies that show that range.Ĥ. ![]() The two lead actors had luke warm chemistry. I enjoyed the songs 'Come back home' and 'I didn't know'.Ģ. After watching the movie again, I think her voice is ok. I'm not familiar with singer and actress Sofia Carson who plays Cassie. This movie was quite enjoyable to watch, but it had some flaws.ġ.
