Watch Love, Rosie For Free

Really Surprised!

good back-story, and good acting

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I remembered seeing a trailer for this film on YouTube; didn't interest me, but I remembered the poster standing out. And after watching Hunger Games, I was interested in seeing more Sam Claflin films, so I put it in my mental list.Story: Best friends Rosie and Alex go their separate ways after secondary school, with Alex moving to America and Rosie accidentally becoming pregnant after prom night. As the years go by, Rose and Alex gamble everything to keep their friendship alive, while love also springs between them.Good set up, good cast. Overall I enjoyed it, and my favourite part was definitely Lily Collins and Sam Claflin's chemistry. I thought it was believable how they transitioned from best friends to being in love at the end, even if a few scenes felt pointless. I also enjoyed the friendship between Rosie and her friend Ruby. I liked the supporting characters Sally and Bethany. I thought the pacing was fine, I wasn't bored at all watching it.I have negatives of course so 1) the fact that they don't age. I get it since two attractive people have been cast in the roles and they probably don't want to recast them. But seriously, Rosie's daughter is 14 or 15 years old by the end, and they look like sisters. Age up your actors; it's distracting. Keeps reminding me of the McAvoy/Fassbender X-Men films; Age for crying out loud! I mean a lot times you'd probably forget that since Collins and Claflin have such great chemistry, but once they stop talking to each other it becomes distracting again.Also, there is one completely cartoon character: Greg, Rosie's baby daddy and later husband. If Greg exists in the books and is accurate to the book character; fair enough. But it was the laziest way to portray a deadbeat. There's a scene where Rosie and Alex are at Rosie's dad's funeral; it's raining and tries to portray itself as a serious seen. But, Greg straight up walks up to the two, puts on his glasses, acting like he's at a party and goofing around. What!?? Is the script so desperate to portray Greg as a douche, they had to resort to that. Who ok'd that. If you need a scene like that, don't put it in a funeral scene.I enjoy romantic films when I'm in the mood, and apart from those few distracting elements, I enjoyed the film. I'd recommend it, just watch out for those things I've mentioned.

How anyone can find this movie romantic is beyond me (this is coming form a female of the intended demographic). It is your typical vapid shallow superficial Hollywood take on love, without having any of the sheen, glamour and high production quality of a Hollywood rom com. Therefore, it falls flat and is very tedious and hard to watch. Not only is it completely unfunny, disjointed and filled with unnecessary profanity, it is also implausible. Surely the fact that Alex always chose some other girl before Rosie meant that he didn't really like her all that much and therefore could not be so in love with her for so long. I know that is how it works in that little land called reality. Therefore. I could never truly buy into this 'love story' if you can even call it that, although love montage would be more suitable. I also do not care for the actor who played Alex much. He doesn't possess a leading man quality and was not convincing in this role. Romance must truly be dead in this day in age if this is what people consider to be romantic.

I just rediscovered this movie after almost 4 years and can I just say, I fell in love with it and I still am.This movie is absolutely worth-watching in my opinion, because it has a nice plot line with some twisted turns. Even though the movie is filled with romantic clichés,some jokes included and also not everything happens like you would think it will. Both leading actors did an amazing job and they have great on-screen chemistry. You really get the feeling like they would have known each other for years. The casting was absolutely successful.In conclusion I can say, that it is a movie that has some typical scenes for a romantic movie, but also some unexpected turns and the whole story of the friendship-love is beautiful to watch. It did so good, watching this movie on a Saturday evening to find calmness. It is a movie, where you start crying, laughing and smiling.

This is my first review here so bear with me. As I'm sure most of you know, this movie is based on a novel Where rainbows end by Cecilia Ahern. It is just loosely based on it, because the story differs somewhat. I won't reveal anything else, to avoid spoilers. All I'll say is that it works because it captures the essence of the book. The chemistry between the two main actors is unbelievably good and the supporting cast is good as well. I warmly recommend this film to everybody. How probable the plot, that is up to a viewer to decide. It was for me. If you're a hopeless romantic, you're gonna enjoy this one. If you're a realist, you're probably gonna find certain situations a bit too much and out there. Nonetheless I left the theater with a smile on my face. The movie makes you believe that anything is possible and that one should never give up on hope.
