Wallbanger

I made an account here just to help you decide to skip this movie. Its bad but fails to be bad in an entertaining way, which I was hoping for after the first 5 mins when it's clear it would be bad.

The main reason to skip this movie is the love interest. Yes, he's attractive, but I'm not sure he's ever dated someone irl. He continually does the same smarmy face I'm guessing to show he's intrigued or whatever. What even was all that. I really don't like him as a person now.

I lasted until 1.5 hours and just had to stop. Who told them this has to be a 2 hour long movie?!? Stop it with the long movies, longer doesn't always mean better.

The protagonist was pretty good though, that's why 2 stars instead of 1. I feel like she could be in an actual movie that has a budget and a love interest who knows how to act.

The attempt at a subplot with the side characters was silly. Those characters weren't developed even a little, all the ended up doing was making the movie longer.

This feels like a movie made by a sophomore in college and some people they don't really like but have to work with for a group project.

Please don't watch it. Please, you have so many options. Learn from my mistake. I will regret this 1.5 hour usage for the rest of my life. Please.

I read this book and absolutely loved it. When I found out they were making it a movie I was conflicted because books are generally better than the movie adaptation but watched it...was very sorely disappointed, the acting was smarmy and bad, bad casting choices throughout not like the characters at all so a major bummer. The male, my gosh trying to be sexy especially in the beginning was a cringey creepy turn off.

Come on Tosca you can do sooo much better, can't you?

If you like romance novels Wallbanger is hilarious, fun and satisfying, this movie/cast leaves a lot to be desired, not sure why the high ratings imho.

I DO however highly recommend the BOOK.

Calling all romance lovers! This one's worth your time. Yes, it's an enemies-to-lovers story, but unlike many where the switch from hate to love feels rushed, this one takes its time. The gradual development of feelings between the characters feels genuine and gives the story its charm. You'll find yourself smiling at the playful vibes and rooting for the leads as the plot unfolds.

Now, not everything's perfect-there are a few moments where the direction could've been sharper (you'll know what I mean when you see them). But overall, it's way better than brushing it off as just another cheesy adult movie. Go ahead and add this gem to your list!

When I saw that one of my favorite comedic romance reads had been adapted into a movie I thought "TOP PRIORITY" the first twenty minutes I thought I was watching the intro to a horrible adult movie from the 90's.

Then I decided I'll just skip some parts and get to my favorite part of the movie.

After 10 minutes I didn't find any parts I would like, the acting was horrible, the setup was god awful, everything about this movie was a terror.

My advice would be just to read the book instead, it's witty it's fun and it's actually much better imagining what happens than seeing a bunch of people who don't even know how to make real facial expressions.

DO NOT WATCH.

Read the books, couldn't stop laughing at how witty and well written this book was. Had high hopes for the movie...but frankly i found it too long, and the script felt unnatural... the music made it feel like a hallmark movie, ie. Low budget films with corny plotlines...Visually the movie, besides the corny "love interest", was not bad to watch, the camera just failed to capture the intimacy and passion that the protagonists had in the books. Casters need to focus on the actors' abilities to deliver a convincing performance over displaying ab muscle. The entire movie felt superficial and lacked real depth or originality. Passionflix needs to do better.
