Float

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.

Merrily merrily merrily ... gently down the stream. Or something along those lines - no pun intended and I obviously know the song has different lyrics. Still felt it made sense. Especially considering the constellation here and the relationship the two main characters have. It's not entirely out of the realm of ... things that seem unlikely ... yet they don't seem to be a perfect fit either.

Well we all know where this is going to end up. So it is not so much where we are getting at, but the journey there (be it the boat that floats or other means of (love) transportation) ... the actors do a decent enough job - especially if you are into romantic comedies.

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 movie was okay. I only watched it because of some of the actors in it.

It's your typical Summertime romance movie, but nstead of it being teenage kids, it was mid 30s actors playing characters 10 years younger. It's funny because the book is about a teenage romance.

I was a fan of Andrea Bang from Kim's Convenience, but it seemed like she brought her character Janet over to this movie. Hopefully she's not being typecasted into playing characters that are a bit awkward and always being told what to do by her Asian parents. The name Waverly just didn't seem right for her either, because it's more of a British name.

Robbie Amell was really showing his age in this. He seemed so much younger just a few years ago in things like The Flash and The Duff, but I guess that was nearly 10 years ago now. His performance was okay.

This is a typical TV movie or straight to video movie. Only worth watching if you liked the book or are a fan of the actors in it.

A lovely drama romance interlaced for a brief summer time. The story is engagingly simple, the acting good overall and very good for Andrea Bang who played with tremendous charisma and showed awesome chemistry with Robbie Amell who seemed lost by that powerful romantic force and connection.

Definitely deserves the next installment 'Float - surfing under the sun'.
