Float

Romantic comedy-Drama '' Float '' is a romance with an underlying family drama to boot.

First of all, the story is too generic. Sure, there are some parts that are fairly enjoyable, however, there were a lot of others that just ruined the film.

The pace, for example, is all over the place, with the romance suffering the most. It robs it from the tension between the leads and leaves a lot off screen when it came to their relationship. That was evident in the ending, as the movie tried to create drama only to wrap things up awkwardly.

Also, there were a lot of plotlines that were left unexplored and suprficial, like the family drama of both leads.

Other than that, the performances were good enough from everyone.

This romcom sounded like it would be interesting as I do like both of the actors and the setting in a small town seemed enchanting for a good romcom but I've not read the book.

However, the chemistry between the two leads is terrible and Al ost non existent so it's hard to imagine that they would have any interest in each other so the romance part just doesn't work which is just bad casting on the Directors or Producers part.

The acting is fine by both leads and it has nothing to do with anything but lack of chemistry. As on one hand you have a very pretty petite Asian girl that looks like she's 15 years old in a bathing suit, and a lifeguard that looks like he's twice her age and twice her height - Which is bad casting so maybe they could've cast it differently with either a younger main male lead or a slightly more mature older female lead but regardless these two had zero chemistry.

And the story is pretty basic with no real surprises which rarely matters in a good romcon provided the 2 leads have chemistry so the film did not work and felt like a bad Hallmark film.

5 stars.

I don't know how they keep getting these Wattpad movies so wrong. There was barely any chemistry between the characters and the storyline just seemed so forced. I was almost done with the movie when I realised that nothing had really happened. I thought Blake was meant to be some bad boy lifeguard but he was nothing of the sort, and everything just seemed too cliche. I just don't get it, they ruined the After series by changing storylines and hiring bad actors/directors and now they've done the same here. Truthfully, it was quite boring. Nothing really hooked me and there was just no excitement. I know it's all down to personal opinion but this movie was just not it.

Not like the books original storyline, its supposed to be an enemies to lovers type story but it looks like they fell in love at first sight. Im nitpicky with movies though.

Good even if the plot isnt the same.

The actors also look a little too old, they're 18 canonically.

I do love love stories, im a huge romance fan but this is a little baloney.... ive read the entire book and im a huge fan of it but seriously i cannot stress enough that the plot isnt the same. Waverly and blake dont meet the way they did in the movie, and blake doesnt have the same 'hatred' he was supposed to. He also lowkey seems a little white washed, he's supposed to be more tan.

But dont take my word for it. Just watch it yourself if you're curious about it.

... there's lots to like about this well put together little romance movie... if had to nitpick about anything would be casting of what appears a mens underwear model as one of the leads, not he doesn't do a good acting job, he does.. it's just he's a bit outside the box as a hulky lifeguard in a small remote Canadian village, and appears without having too many-any lady-friends chasing after him

... and if you're thinking this location is just too perfect to be existing, you're correct... look up 'where-float-filmed' on TheCinemaholic website, it's interesting-informative

... this is a well scripted-acted-produced production... it is exactly what it's supposed to be, and for those don't find it at all entertaining, that's to their loss.
