Watch Everything You Want For Free

Absolutely the worst movie.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Abby (Shiri Appleby) is an art student at a university and quite talented. When she was a child, her parents dropped her off, most summers, at her Aunt Edna's remote Montana ranch. Having few friends and not a lot to do, she devoted herself to making pictures with her crayons. She also "made up" something else, an imaginary boyfriend named Sy (Orlando Seale), who she still clings to. If the day goes wrong, she converses with Sy, who is very real to her, obviously, and she often tells her small circle of pals that she has a boyfriend. As can be expected, her roommate, Jessica (Alexandra Holden) thinks this is absurd. Both ladies work at a Borders bookstore, Abby as a barista and Jess as a cashier and book adviser. Out of the blue, Jess asks Abby to help tutor her cousin, Quinn (Nick Zano) who is struggling through an art appreciation class. Whoa, Abby is in the same class and she detests this young man! But, after some fervent pleas, Abby agrees. As the two students get to know one another better, the ice begins to thaw, as they say, which upsets Sy immensely! Will Abby finally realize that human relationships are far better than imaginary ones? This is a sweet film, told with humor and skill. There have been, admittedly, various variations on this theme in recent years, but its still very pleasing for the usual fans. The cast is nice, despite being relatively unknown, while the setting, costumes, script and direction all result in a good-looking and well-made little television movie. For those who seek out this one, oh romcom admirers, it will definitely bring you exactly what you want.

I generally like simple romantic "fluff" films, but anyone who takes this wonderful tale as merely a college kids' love story is missing a lot.First, Shiri Appleby was perfectly cast as the cute, naive, slightly odd art "student". She carried the role wonderfully, like a girl that I would truly want to get to know and ask out. Her interaction with her pretty but very ditsy blonde roommate Alexandra (Jessica Lindstrom) was both real and wonderfully timed, both actresses showing interaction and chemistry that you don't usually find in light romantic stuff.Fellow art student and aspiring boy friend Quinn (Nick Zano) did a good job as the somewhat shy "hunk", but came off as a bit too "neanderthal" for a pre-law student, unless I don't remember what pre-laws were like. Could be this was intentional, since he seems to blossom as the film progresses. The sound track is apt, enjoyable, and counterpoints the film's action wonderfully.Up to this point, the film would get a mere "6" for "I enjoyed it".However, what pushes over the top IMAO are three things: Quinn's fully weird roomie Canadian Cal (Will Friedle) whose antics and delivery made me laugh out loud; Abbi's (Appleby) parents, George & Mary (Scott Wilkinson & Edie McClurg) who were the perfect foils for both roomie Alex's ditsiness and roomie Cal's weirdness; and the underlying theme of "surrealism".George & Mary's odd antics suddenly catch you and force you to see that "weird and ditsy" is neither undesirable nor merely an aside, but that people can be truly happy within their own world. More, as events in the story continue, we see that Cal and Alex -- who never interact oddly enough -- are neither of them as dumb or weird as we are first let to believe.This sub-theme, as well as the repeated hints about surrealism, subtly hint that it's OK, even laudable to live in your own dreams, as long as you are able to touch the real world. As Quinn says as he begins to awaken to the art world, "surrealism has less to do with what is random and senseless, and more to do with accepting that our lives don't always have to make sense." This film is a sleeper, sorta sneaks up on you, and you'll remember this one long after the final credits fade. Speaking of, is it mere coincidence that Alex only goes out with boys named "Ryan", and the film's most able director's ALSO Ryan (Little)? I think not! In fact, this is only one of many, many things that are not what they seem, but carry double ( and more ) entendres.8/10, for "would see it again", "made me laugh out loud", and "made me think".

This movie was fun to watch. I was so surprised to find out that Sy was surreal. The writers were very clever to give hints before letting us know for sure, it really added to the drama. The actors were believable and funny and the movie had a classic romance with a very different twist. Will Friedle was absolutely hilarious. Abby's parents were so comical too which made the movie more lighthearted than if they had only been represented as the mean people who left her with Aunt Edna while vacationing. Abby's roommate's penchant for dating only guys named Ryan was another original comedic element. This is not a deep movie but a light diversion for those who want to be amused and relaxed. This is not an intense drama but a clever comedy with lots of unique style. Fans of A Cinderella Story and The Princess Diaries will enjoy this one although you should be warned that, unlike those family features, some dialogue in Everything You Want is inappropriate for a family viewing.

i watched this movie the day after me and my boyfriend made love for the first time, also after expressing that we loved each other for the first time. i thought it was a great movie, and it could help a lot of people and give them hope. mainly people who are very lonely and don't have anybody to really care for them. like how Quinn kinda freaked when he found out Abby's 'imaginary' boyfriend Simon wasn't 'real'.. he was real to her, and she never had anything else to compare him to so how else was she to go about it. i can relate to this completely, only my guy was real, just the love wasn't, and we never met because he lived thousands of miles away, but the love and the care felt real, until i found the real thing(again). it was one of those sappy movies but i love how Quinn's character changed throughout the movie, to a pompous jerk to a sensitive, caring, art loving guy. all in all, good movie and recommend it to anyone having trouble trusting people and letting them self get close. also just those who like a comedic/romantic movie with a good ending.
