First Love

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.

A lirico movie about the first love, very similar to much others in style, however of a delicacy, supplies and purity, which enchants, entertains and thrills, the chemistry between the couple cadence the moments of romance and divergences... not by chance the film brought me the "after" trilogy, a teenage novel, which the nephew of Ralph Fiennes also starred in, hero Fiennes Tiffin... Nothing innovative, but it should please teenagers, pleased me, with my teenage taste ...

Jim (Hero Fiennes Tiffin), a high school student, is going through the typical ups and downs of a first love affair with his girlfriend Ann (Sydney Park). To make matters worse, the boy's parents face the consequences of the financial crisis in 2008.

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.

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!

This was a story about true love through the eyes of normal people. No frills, no fluff, no ridiculous outlandish gestures or circumstance.

It was a love story of not only the young couple, but of the parents as well.... It felt realistic, like this is the "ordinary person's" love story.... It felt believable.

If you are a true romantic, and believe in love, it really is worth the watch.

I think we have gotten so accustomed to these over the top, unrealistic love stories, that we forget that the average Joe & Jane, who are not well off, millionaires, or overly successful professionals meet and fall in love too!

This movie is simple, it's pure and a ticks a lot of the boxes for the hopeless romantic in us.

Watch it, and remember that love can be simple, easy and survivable through the trials/setbacks that come!
