As Escolhas do Amor

You get to work out what you would do or go with something you would never do. It is an illusion of choice though, some things will just happen, some choices are already made. That said it is an interesting concept. It looks effortless and is very well done. Creating the choices and making the film hang together as a narrative must have been quite a challenge.

It is interesting to make choices and then rewind and make different ones. You could watch this film a few times with different choices. Ultimately it is fluff and if you take it as such it is enjoyable.

I do not look for plot holes so I may have missed them. It is enjoyable if you are looking for something fluffy and not emotionally taxing.

Some people are too sensitive for this film. Choices have to be made during film. Are you going to cheat or not. Do you choose to end long-term relationship or not. Some people apparently can't do this or some feel guilty. I understand it somewhere, but first of all, it's a movie. Secondly, life is also full with chooses. If you are in a long-term relationship it doesn't mean you have to stay with that person forever and is doesn't mean that is good. I do not approve cheating and I would hate if it happens to me. But it happens.

So ... Choose to have a good time by watching this movie with a glass of wine. I enjoyed myself very much. Of course there are nicer movies or better script. But I did not waste my evening watching this movie.

I give this movie a 8 because some people are crybabies. Goodnight!

There is a singing scene between Rex, the rock star, and laura Marano. It is freakishly close to a singing scene in Austin and Ally between Laura marano and Austin--Ros Lynch. Both songs are pretty and there's even a similar "lean on" lyric. And in both Laura Marano plays a singer with stage fright. The scene has very little to do with the actual plot. It's just amazingly close to Austin and Ally. Laura Marano must have had a strong deja vu. Meanwhile I had no idea Rex was Avan Jogia (Beck) from Victorious. He did a good job. I like when actors appear as characters and you don't recognize them at all. The movie is good fun and if you're an Austin and Ally fan you will love the singing scene.

Cami is a terrible person which leads to an unrelatable movie plot and a lackluster experience.

The basic plot of the experience is help Cami cheat on her loving and committed boyfriend for the past 3 years, which lets be real here, that's gross Netflix. Even if you pick the boyfriend centric options it still leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

The acting by the three gentlemen suitors is pretty good but they mainly coast on their good looks. Being a fan of all three actors previous works and knowing what they are capable of this what's a major disappointment.

Overall I'm choosing not to love this...

I don't know how I feel about this new "choose your own adventure" format. I will say that the romantic comedy and maybe a mystery are the two genres that might lend themselves to this format.

I watched two different endings to this romance, one where Cami ends up with perfect Paul and the other where she ends up with rocker Rex, which I don't feel is much of a spoiler since I assume there is also an ending where she ends up with the one that got away Jack. I can't say I had strong feelings about either ending or any of the characters really. Which leads me to what I think was lost in this "choose your own adventure" format...time wasn't spent developing the characters or their romance. It left everything feeling flat and cliched. Maybe the film needs to be longer in order to develop the romance and still allow you to make choices? Either way this film suffered versus benefitted, coming across as very juvenile and unfinished.

I think it was a cute film to try out this new format on, so if you just want to see how the choose your own adventure works...this is an easy no brainer way to do it, but otherwise this is not a recommendation from me.

I did like a couple of Cami's wardrobe pieces, particularly that great yellowy orange she wore.
