Lick

I found this yesterday while looking for something to watch on Passionflix and immediately became interested after seeing that it's an adaptation of a book(I'm an avid reader).

The chemistry between David and Ev is palpable even while they're, sometimes awkwardly, getting to know each other. Kudos to the lead actors for keeping their performances grounded and realistic.

While everyone did their part, my favorite character just might be Mal(the drummer). His 'go with the flow/take it as it comes' demeanor was a refreshing additive whenever something seemed too stressful. He was also a great sounding board and voice of reason when needed all while appearing a little goofy. With that awesome mane, Mal looks like the quintessential 80's rock band member.

The storyline was interesting enough to keep me engaged and entertained while also making me want to read the book to get all of the details that were left out.

I'll definitely be watching it again before and after I've read the book.

I was hesitant to watch this movie as I really enjoyed the book and movie adaptations are generally disappointing. This movie followed the book closely - thank god - and did a good job of telling the story visually.

Both lead actors did a great job of bringing the characters to life, kudos to them both. The male lead character seems to be a really good actor, I hope we see more of him and the female lead gave the depth to the character that could easily been down-played. The settings were perfect.

I hope to see adaptations of the rest of this series of books if they are done as well as this one.

Can we all celebrate how long we have waited for this? Finally, David and Ev come to life on screen and it was done brilliantly. I was nervous to see the movie adaptation after loving the characters in ink for so long. They had a lot to live up to. I was not disappointed. I didn't feel like there was a lot cut out even. I hate when that is done in a book to movie adaptation. The actors fit the characters in not only their portrayal, but also their appearance. The homes used, clothing worn etc...was all nicely done. You do worry about some of these smutty movies being cheesy and ruining it for us die hard fans. Fortunately, I don't think that was the case here. One grateful fan here!

This movie kept close to the book. Very good adaption and Hollywood should take note. More please! Three more books to go! Trying to not post spoilers so all I can say is go watch it even if you haven't read the book yet. Just watch and then read the book. You will be pleasantly surprised. I usually don't rewatch movies but this one I will over my holiday break. It is that good. All of the cast performed their characters to perfection. Would have liked more of few of the characters to flesh out the drama that the book had but overall it wasn't detrimental to the movie. I just love Kylie Scott and so proud an Aussie got her book made into a movie. It is well deserved and a great tribute to her story.

Lick is the first book I read by author Kylie Scott and loved it. The news that it was being made into a Passionflix film was exciting news. I'm happy to report that the movie script stayed as true as possible to the book. The casting was fantastic, the music was good for non-musician actors, and I enjoyed every minute. There were pacing issues during certain scenes, but trying to fit an entire novel into a movie time limit is difficult. I think they did the best they could. I would love to see the other books in this series be made into films also! Thoroughly enjoyed watching! My husband enjoyed watching also. This is rated R, so keep that in mind.
