Los Dos Amores De Mi Vida

I am always a fan of reading a book before watching the movie, and normally the book is better but I didn't even love the book. But this movie is SO BAD, it made me appreciate the book a lot more.

It looks so cheap, I don't want to say low budget cause not all low budget movies are bad.

It is super rushed. There is no depth to the characters at all, they are all completely unbelievable. There is not enough history maybe to develop the characters, but I guess even if they had it would have been as bad as the rest of the movie.

It's actually frustrating to watch, the dialogue isn't good, and they have the book to go off of, which definitely had better dialogue. It's as though they didn't know how to convey parts of the book without the cringey dialogue.

I don't know if it's the acting or directing but it just feels flat, on all levels.

I'm not sure why this is rated so low! It was a very sweet, and actually really sad, movie. The premise isn't unique, but it was still beautifully executed and well acted. The scenes could have been arranged differently to have more of an emotional impact. For example, the movie starts with the second relationship, and tells the former in flashbacks. In my opinion, they should have allowed the first relationship to grow on the viewer, then bam! He is abruptly taken from the actress and the viewer and we are left with emotional carnage. Despite that, I did appreciate the conundrum the movie presented. It would be so difficult to have to choose between an old love and new. I found myself "choosing a side" then the next scene the other suitor would give some grand dialogue and I would shift my preference. I did this repeatedly and I found my conservative self almost wishing for throuple! As the movie progresses, it becomes clear one suitor is more compatible with the lead, but it was still heartbreaking to watch. Overall, a good movie that tugs at the heartstrings.

1 out of 5 stars.

One True Loves is a horrible romantic comedy drama film which follows a young woman which she thought she loses her husband in an accident. Moves on with her best friend and gets engaged. Until her husband comes back and she faces the dilemna of being in love with both of them.

The plot is eh. The acting is flat out bad. The script and direction is cringy and dumb. It is boring. The film gets dumb as the characters discuss there love for each other. While other is regretting life choices. Its very cliche. Predictable. And definitely a film that is worth skipping. It was just horrible all around.

I can easily say that the book was one of my favorite standalone books of 2022. And the saying the book is always better stands too true for this one. So a warning that my review is my opinion and is written as someone who adored the book.

The book catches you in the feels and makes you laugh, cry, and feel literally everything. You get deep character development and you see the story as a whole, the book flows well so that you have a complete understanding of what is going on at all times.

The movie did not do that. It was made too Romcom feel and took all the serious heart felt parts from the book and sort of butchered it so that we saw less and felt almost nothing. They condensed this so much it felt completely rushed the entire time and the flashbacks did nothing to help the frantic feel of the movie. It just felt goofy the whole time. I wanted that heartbreak and emotion from the book.

The Maine portion of the book had so much impact on the story yet in the movie it fell so, so flat and cringe. We didn't see any character development at all like we do in the book, that helped ua understand WHY they fell apart.

The actors had no chemistry at all. The acting was cringe, as well. It just never felt right to me. The actors look great for the parts but their acting didn't do them justice at all. I'm just disappointed in how this turned out, overall. It should have been longer and it should have been less Romcom feel, in my opinion.

The opening scene was great but it was downhill from there. I can't believe I paid for it. First of all the acting was awful and these are all very good actors. Low energy was what i called it. Like they were either in between better gigs are not really into the job. It came across. The music was terrible and didn't fit the type of movie. I think it was a drama but the music was for a kids movie. The actual cinematography was bad. The scene splices were pure lifetime movie. And the decorating was awful. They tossed in fake fall foliage here and there to make it seem like fall but trees change colors not bushes. Overall a total waste of time. Save your money or wait until it comes on lifetime and you have nothing better to do.
