Rotten Tomatoes gave this film 26% on the 'Tomatometer' (basically: making it rotten).
Here's what I have to say about that:
I honestly couldn't believe all of the bad reviews because I absolutely adored this film!
*That being said, I do have a tendency to lean towards the stereotypical rom-coms. I'm a woman in my mid-twenties, I dig that shit. Give me a delicious bottle of shiraz, some freshly made popcorn (perhaps with a box of Astros or Smarties sprinkled and melted on top) and a romance and you have one happy lady right here.
Love, Rosie has everything I could possibly want in a film of it's type:
- Romance
- Drama
- Comedy (British comedy at that!)
- Charm
- Beauty
- Heartache
- Struggle
- Pain
- Loss
- A Happy Ending
It has everything - regardless of the countless cliche's and the predictability... this is one film I just fell in love with.
It's hilarious!
I laughed out loud.
I scrunched up my fists in frustration.
My heart broke and mended.
It's just gorgeous, thoroughly enjoyable and perfect for a quiet evening in.

An adaption from Cecelia Ahern's (author of P.S I Love You) novel 'Where Rainbows End,' comes the story Rosie and Alex. They are best friends and always have been - but on Rosie's 18th birthday they end up kissing for the first time.
Rosie, too drunk to remember, makes some silly comment about wanting to forget the night ever happened. This makes Alex think that she regrets their kiss... And so begins a 12 year saga of their missed opportunities to finally be together.
I felt that the Lily Collins and Sam Clafin had incredible onscreen chemistry.... and just by the by, Clafin is bloody gorgeous!
Overall I'd give this movie 4/5 stars.
The only downfall to me was the constant back and forth. There was always something in the way of them being together when it was SO SO clear that they are meant for each other.
It does get infuriating... but then, haven't we all had that certain someone that we missed the opportunity to be with?? This movie will resonate within everyone and touch everyone's hearts in some way or another.
Have you seen any good films lately - or bad ones for that matter?
I'd love to hear about them in the comments below :)
Have a stunning weekend bloggers!
Jade, I'm not sure I could watch this movie without being sad... most of us have that one that was meant to be... It sounds like a movie I'd like normally ♡
ReplyDeleteI read the book and liked it. I'll have to check out the movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm certain that every movie I love has received a bad review! This sounds like a good one to me! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis movie seems very cute!

Thank you for sharing this review! I am actually not sure if I watched this movie or not.. somehow it seems to familiar but then I do not remember the actual images. Anyway. I did not watch any good movies lately, or at least no international one. The last time I went to the cinema was to watch a German production which was pretty good. Its called "Als wir träumten".
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend!

More than rom coms its horror films that float my boat so last weekend I went to watch this movie called it follows. Now this was a complete rotten tomatoes reversal because critics thought it was fantastic and so did the audience while I thought it was a piece of crap movie!! beat that :) xx

I feel you Jade, I am much the same about rom-coms. I'm a soppy sucker for them. And I feel like this one is perfect for a night on the couch with vino and Chinese (and popcorn for dessert which begins 5 minutes into the movie itself lol). I can't recall seeing this trailer then again I've gotten really complacent when it comes to movies, I wait for them to come out on my cable TV so I can watch them free loooool. The joys of being in your twenties (going on eighties)! I'm trying to remember what the last one was that I watched. But I can't. Maybe Charlie St Cloud (Yeah, only now got around to seeing that one)? I'm also NOT a big fan of love triangles because the guy I want the girl to be with NEVER gets the girl. Ok, maybe like 80% of the time but still it IRKS ME JADE. IRKKKS MEEE.
ReplyDeleteBTW thanks for the cutest response on my last post. I don't know if you get notified of a reply or stuff but I just said how cute you are and how your message made me teary (yeah, did I mention I am super emotional? It gets worse with age). I love and feel super blessed to call you my friend and should a little something be announced of course I'd be there. I'd move mountains to get to SA or water, ride a dolphin (if he let's me) or maybe catch a plane. I swear at times I feel more connected to you and my blogger buddies more than actual friends in my life. I feel like that is a sad statement to make but it's not cos I got you guys who I cherish more than anything (not more than my baby Chanel, sorry. ;o) hehehe) BTW apologies for the over extended use of characters on your post and my reply. I juuuuuust can'tttttt contaaaaain myself. And I hope it made you giggle. Happy weekend Jade, enjoy it to the fullest.

I love, love, love this movie too! I like how it went. Not a perfect life which is realistic, but the stubborn love between two people that stood and remained strong even with all the changes in their lives is as real as can be. Plus, the actors are gorgeous. I'm with you in this review.
ReplyDeletesounds cute.. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear an honest movie review instead Rotten Tomatoes review. :) I'm intrigued!
