Watch What If For Free

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Sorry, this movie sucks

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It seemed to me that this movie had no characters that acted above the age of 30. It made the movie feel like it was more for adolescents and people still in college. One of the highlights of this movie was Zoe Kazan. She felt a little bit different from how she was in her other movies like The Big Sick, Some Girl(s), or Ruby Sparks. A guy could have a dream about this girl. She still felt earthy but looked and acted much more proper. It was a far cry from how she stunk up the restroom in The Big Sick.

Here we have yet another bland and predictable romantic comedy that will undoubtedly be forgotten by the vast majority of viewers within the space of a few weeks. We know exactly what is going to happen right from the very beginning, so what exactly is the point of the film? It's nothing new and the story has been done a million times before.As for the 'comedy' aspect of this romantic comedy, it's very much hit and miss, with more misses than hits. Daniel Radcliffe just doesn't convince me at all as an actor, and certainly not as a comedy actor. Perhaps it's because I see Potter and not Radcliffe when he appears on screen, but this type of role just doesn't suit him as an actor.'What If' is another generic romantic comedy that brings absolutely nothing new to the genre. Perhaps suitable to pass the time for those who like these cheesy, predictable type of romance films.

Juvenile humour between vulgar and plain pathetic-lacks depth of any kind-characters are complete nerds and exaggerated Awful plot-Female character is a complete drip-Her boyfriend is worse-Story of people being pathetic-Whole cast of weirdos-boring-can't find anything remotely positive about the movie other than being able to laugh at the fact that the same guy who ruined Star Wars is in it. This is a good film for him actually as the entire cast are a bad match for Daniel. He should stay clear of these naff cheap movies with terrible casts and focus on some better roles. It's such a shame he's taking roles like this...hope he at least got paid well and learnt to leave this type of genre alone. Absolute utter drivel!

Set in Toronto, WHAT IF? centers on Wallace (Daniel Radcliffe) who develops a close friendship with Chantry (Zoe Kazan), yet finds himself unable to fall in love with her due to her long-term relationship with boyfriend Ben (Rafe Spall). Wallace and Chantry are thrown together a lot - especially when Ben takes a job in Dublin - and feelings develop between them. The rest, as they say, is history.Michael Dowse's production has some sharp dialogue, especially involving Wallace and his best friend Allan (Adam Driver). Likewise Chantry develops a close relationship with her sister Dalia (Megan Park): Dalia at one point attempts a one-night stand with Wallace, but Wallace proves too enduringly attached to Chantry.Daniel Radcliffe doesn't have to do much in the film, apart from adopting an endearingly hang-dog expression whenever circumstances conspire against him. Likewise Kazan has a limited range of facial expressions ranging from quizzical to slightly aggrieved. The stand- out characterization in the film is that of Driver, a tall, rangy young man with a taste for salty conversation who ends up "settling down" with Nicole (Mackenzie Davis).The film is way too long - we end up yearning for the predictable end to take place - but the Toronto locations are atmospheric. WHAT IF? is one of those films that passes the time but nothing else.
