First Love

That's it. The entire film is a pulseless drag with no flavor; a compilation of artificial moments in a pseudo-romance with no tangible conflict, jarringly interspersed with the story of a middle aged couple having issues due to financial crisis.

I usually struggle to keep my reviews concise, but this time I'm grasping for things to say and, for the life of me, cannot find them.

I picked this up because the two leads are pretty and I wanted some cheesy, dumb-as-rocks youthful romance to pass the time. What I ended up getting was something that tasted more bland than hospital food. Scratch that: the food I had when I was last in the hospital gave me a more impactful sensory experience than this.

The reviews for this are absolutely terrible. I think everyone is a bit dramatic saying it's "a waste of 2 hours" but maybe I've just seen a lot of really bad movies and this one really wasn't the worst. It was not really about love it was about dealing with financial issues and the toll it takes on a family, So it is very misleading to call it "first love". The acting was just ok and I felt no desire for the watered down love story they portrayed to have a happy ending. There were many characters like the aunt and the brother who were in the movie for a few seconds or minutes and added absolutely nothing. It definitely didn't have anything special about it. A fairly forgettable movie.

I kept waiting for more character development, but I never happened. The two young couples acting was cute but there "love story" took place between 2 scenes and bam "I love you" we don't get to see more into who they are as a couple. The character Jim had some development his character was kind and a romantic and intense. The parents portrayal was very accurate and can resonate with a lot of people. This would be a 10 if it wasn't so rushed. The actor Hero was actually really good his stares alone feel like he's looking at you lol you see this sweetness in his character. I wanted to know more about his love interest.

You know when you spend all your day studing and after dinner you just want to watch a teenage-rom-com and go to bed??

Well, this is not the right movie. But I really don't know a right moment to watch it.

I don't want to be mean but I hated it.

I felt really embarassed for the actors in the "romantic" scenes.

2 stars only because Hero (Jim) is really handsome.

I'm a huge fan of the After series so when I heard Hero had a new movie out, I had to go and watch. Hero really carries this film and I was impressed with his range as an actor. Diane Kruger was fantastic as always. There was however something missing between the two romantic leads as others have pointed out. It's a shame the chemistry was lacking a little, but overall an enjoyable movie!
