Just for the Summer

A sweet movie with a simple and predictable storyline.

It was just okay. The ending kiss is always a deciding factor as to whether or not the story is good. I expected the leads to be together but I truly didn't feel the spark at the end. It will most likely be just a one time watch for me.

This is a fairly typical romance, which combines a couple of tropes, which I'm not going to discuss because I'm not into spoilers.

Most of what is going on his below the surface, and I liked it, because there is no "other woman" or "other man", which is often introduced to create false conflict. Most of the conflict is internal of the characters. And while a no surprises approach to the plot is used, it's a very pretty film to look at. There are some beautiful scenes of the lake, on the pier. Often just for a few seconds, but quite stunning. The photography is actually very good in this film, and I think a lot of romantic comedies are not respected for their direction and photography, but they are often very well done and really add to the story. This is no exception.

I couldn't even finish it and I love cheesy romantic movies. It was boring, the leads had no chemistry between them and the female protagonist seemed bored and like she didn't want to be a part of the movie.

I really enjoyed the reunion between the two childhood friends; I particularly appreciated their personality and the return, the journey to childhood, a memorable moment, happy or unhappy but always decisive, unforgettable. Both grandmothers are very nice and funny.
