A Vida é Agora

Horrible. Jumps all over. Tries to include all the cliche romance/drama aspects of a film, but fails miserably, because nothing lands smoothly. It just smashes head long into the pavement. Kinda like your expecting Bella's character to do (in accordance with the movie trailer); and yet, here we are, an hour in and still no traffic accident with 48 agonizing mins to go. All your asking at this point is, "What the heck is going on?"; but, more importantly, "Why am I still watching this?" And, that's when she gets hit by the wayward vehicle. So, you figure you'll stay a little longer, in hopes that this crap shoot of a movie will somehow get better. I'm here to tell you, "Don't bother".

The plot is put together in the most awkward way. Not sure if the editor is just bad, or they had very little to work with. Some cuts just don't make any sense.

The dialogue is flat and cheesy and extremely unconvincing.

Also, were they in high-school? College? The girl was in high-school and the guys in college? Unclear.

There are other teen love stories that are just made better. Feel free to pass this one.

On an unrelated point, the female lead seem to have some surgery done. It's none of my business of course, but it seem to have affected her speech and at times it was hard to understand what she was saying because her mouth barely moved.

The cast: You could tell with whom Bella was comfortable with, but most of the time she was stiff and acted like a robot. The others weren't better either. But it could've been the bad writing though.

The story: the usual bad boy meets good girl thing. What more to tell? Lots of scenes put together, without an actual red thread.

As it's a voltage production I assume it's a fanfic adaptation?!

Overall, don't waste your time on this predictable movie!

I haven't seen anything this bad in a while. The acting was really juvenile. God bless the actors, at least they were all very pretty. The story was terrible and was barely coherent. I don't know who edited it but it jumped all over. The description made it sound like some kind science fiction/ time / quantum jump movie with a romantic plot but it was just high school drama. Speaking of high school, why not put these kids in college at least?

It was bad.

Look the cinematography and chemistry for this film were pretty good. Rome can never look bad on camera, and there's obviously chemistry between the two main characters because they're engaged in real life. Other than that the story was so badly chopped up and the acting was mediocre at best. I like Bella, but this was not one of her best.

I'm also not going to lie, I had to skip forward a lot because there's so many aerial shots and montages that just make it seem like the script wasn't long enough to be a whole movie so they insert too much random drone footage of cities.
