Watch The Book of Love For Free

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

The people we hold dearest may leave us suddenly, without notice, and without having all those things we yearned to do in ways spoken and hidden within ourselves. Henry lost his wife and somehow redeemed his life through the ministrations of an orphaned young woman. They could each see through each other's defenses to the dreams and damage within.What more could they do than to set sail, on a raft of their own making, crafted from lives past on the way to endless horizons in the future.Do not overlook this movie! Unless you have never loved and lost anyone, in which case, skip it.

'THE BOOK OF LOVE': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five) A drama starring Jason Sudeikis as a depressed architect, that's struggling to get over the sudden tragic death of his pregnant wife. He then befriends a teenage runaway girl, and he helps her build a raft to sail across the Atlantic on. It costars Jessica Biel (who also co-produced the film), Maisie Williams, Orlando Jones, Paul Reiser and Mary Steenburgen. It was directed by debut feature filmmaker Bill Purple, and the script was written by Purple and Robbie Pickering. Justin Timberlake did the score music for the movie. The film had a very limited release in theaters, and it got unanimously negative reviews from critics. I was pretty disappointed with the movie as well.Henry (Sudeikis) was a happily married successful architect, with a kid on the way, until his free-spirited wife Penny (Biel) dies in a sudden car crash (along with their unborn child). Henry has a horrendous time trying to get over this, until he meets a teenage runaway girl, named Millie (Williams). Millie was someone that Henry's wife had asked him to help, so he decides to help her by helping her build a raft to sail across the Atlantic on (which has always been her dream). Henry appears to go a little crazy in the process.The movie starts out promising, and I love Jason Sudeikis (Jessica Biel is really likable in her role in this film too). Paul Reiser, Orlando Jones and Mary Steenburgen are always reliable in supporting roles as well. The fact that Timberlake wanted to compose the music for the movie also makes it seem more promising. The first time director just wasn't up to the task though, and the film is extremely cheesy and overly sentimental as a result. All of the drama is forced, and the little bit of comedy in the film doesn't work either. It's a shame, considering all of the talent involved. I really hope Sudeikis can bounce back from this.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/WXRjz4hXVvs

The Book of Love was a great feel good movie with chance encounters and picking up pieces after a tragic event. Very good serious acting role for Jason Sudiekis who is normally known for his comedy roles and SNL. This was a very touching movie worth watching for adults as well as others. The music by Justin Timberlake was certainly an added bonus. Well done...!!!

Just saw this at Heartland Film Festival...it had a few good, funny scenes, but the story is so full of tropes (truth delivered from young child folk voice overs, flashbacks to a "haunting" past, and characters who talk their way through "dramatic exchanges" to realizations) that I thought I might have been watching cheap television. Rather than witnessing an unfolding drama, we were presented with scene after scene of characters stupidly stumbling into a situation where they were neatly arranged in a well- lit space in convenient blocking to "discuss their issues". The movie is excessively scored in prepackaged "Hollywood" music you'd expect from a 1999 blockbuster.On a positive note, Maisie Williams is a star and I believed a lot of her character. The acting was fine...Sudeikis couldn't have done much more with the part, but his earnestness in the role is cringe- worthy because the writing is so weak. Biel is fun as an unpredictable and lovable n'Orleans lady. Sudeikis' sidekicks are a source of some of the few organic laughs. All in all, unless you're a massive Biel/Sudeikis fan, I'd skip it. Really. Without a spoiler, the movie follows the two main characters toward a literal suicide mission, but the score is optimistic and the child's voice-over is telling you otherwise - this movie has a surreal disconnect between the story it's telling in music and voice-over and the story it's showing as the characters embark on their final journey. If Herzog had told the same story, it would be clear the characters were insane rather than "on a heartfelt journey".At the q&a Biel mentioned the script went through 26 rewrites. I would be very very curious to see the original script.
