The List

"The List" manages to somehow be a funny light comedy and also have some depth, certainly in its portrayed and satire of nowadays couple sand thier messy relationships, and some people's obsession with celebs. However sometimes the movie feels too rushed and fast-forwarded: the edit should've been done better and the film would've been better.

The story is about the failed attempt of Abby & Matt to get married due to Matt's betrayal with a celebrity in his own list. Then Abby tries to repay her ex-fiancé the same way with the help of her firends Sam & Chloe, but finds along the way Jake and things get interesting...

The main cast is amazing, Halston Sage can be at the same time vunerable and flirty, funny and serious. Overall they deliver a clever portrayed of the characters. It's definitely worth a watch.

Dialogue is mostly made up of cliches, plot is unsurprising, acting is bland and the characters are absurd and unnuanced. All in all a terrible experience and really a total waste of time. Why didn't anyone pull the brakes on this, before getting this far?

The movie suffers mostly from the writers lack of imagination, like the politician without empathy, the weddingplanner without empathy, the boyfriend without empathy (sorry, did I repeat myself? Maybe I should be a script writer), the conversations without depth, the sad sighs from the audience, when the dialogue is trying to be funny.

Maybe just add som kittens and puppies, so there could be something interesting to watch, while wasting precious time on this.

I simply can not recomend this to anyone and I don't know, how the movie ends, because like my ex-wifes cooking, I couldn't finish it all.

Wow, what a completely disgusting premise for a film. Society is going down the drain.

At the end of the day the acting and characters were mid, but the fact this story was even made makes me sick to my core.

Why is it that films like this can even be greenlighted and put into production? I imagine the film will do well just because of the current state of the world with social media, debauchery, dating apps, etc.

If I could turn back time and not even know this film existed I certainly would. I will just be spending the next couple weeks trying to erase this film from my memory with lots of drugs and alcohol.

I'm quite mad given how actually good the bulk of the story is compared to the editing, the rhythm of the dialogs.

And if you can go pass that, you might actually laugh over some really good lines like I did.

But sometimes it just sounds like you're following a conversation made of voice messages on a cellphone. One abrupt and disconnected vocalization after the other.

The movie was shot in "19 days" and for the scope of what's presented, all the moving parts, they did a great job, so shout out to that.

But again, I can't stress enough how unflattering in post-production the editing was.

I bet this can be saved. Gosh, I hope someone does it.

If you're looking for a more edgy rom com than the usual schlock that all the streamers serve up, then The List is for you.

The script is really good. Even if it's not quite pulled off in how it was all thrown together, you can just get a strong sense of the cleverness behind the jokes. And when it gets funny, IT GETS FUNNY. I won't spoil some of the surprises but there are some wacky scenes in here that cracked me up!!!

I heard people complaining about it being predictable. People! Have you ever seen a rom com before???? Even the best ones of all time are predictable.

Settle in for the date night movie of the year. It's a perfect one to throw on and kick back on a Saturday night.
