The pacing of this movie felt off for me. When the movie started I thought I missed something because the beginning of their relationship was so rushed. It's hard to root for a relationship we only see in quick clips. This movie was pretty short so spending 10-15 extra minutes establishing the relationship for the audience probably would've helped the romance be a lot more believable. I'm not sure if it's rushed like that in the book too because I haven't read it but the title is Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between. The hello is a blip and we are missing a big chunk of that in between part.

YA romance got promising plot though could've done better with more established narrative. Fisher & Ryder are reasonably likeable, sadly they shared little chemistry to make us truly care in their own sweet moments and arguable choices.

Normally, when you watch a movie like this one, you are rooting for a happy ending because you grow to care about the characters. That was not this movie. The main characters are likeable enough, but there is not any chemistry and the relationship does not feel believable. In the end, you don't really care whether they stay together or not. Not a movie where you walk away feeling happy about the human perseverance of love.

You could tell they wanted to make a great romance movie but it didn't work out. Very slow movie. Extremely hard to get through. The actors are very boring, the chemistry is not there, there is something that is off in the production and direction. The lead character delivers lines like shes about to fall asleep the whole time.

It was so unbelievably boring and pointless, I almost scratched my eyes out. I kept fast-forwarding, hoping it would become more bearable but it didn't. It was like watching a 2 hour-length-you-tube commercial . There was no emotion or soul or chemistry between the characters. The general plot idea was good but the writing and the scenes- JESUS it was like it was cobbled up in two minutes (WHERE IS THE FLAVOUR OR EVEN CARE? ) The worst thing is it wasn't even enjoyably or laughably horrible, just mind-numbingly dull. This should have been a 5 minute short or something.

I thought it was a nice light movie, the actors had chemistry I felt interested in the story and what was going to happen. I'm surprised by the average reviews it's certainly one of the better movies on Netflix.

It just needed a bit more plot involving the supporting characters.

I found the main characters so unengaging and unlikable I shut it off after investing roughly forty minutes in it. Aidan felt like a backdrop or a prop more than an actual person, adding little in the way of personality or presence, but Claire was worse. She felt silly to the point of taxing. I don't like movies that cost me something to watch them, and staying attuned to this movie, given how painfully nothing it was, felt like work.

Do not recommend.

This was an average movie with a slow start to it but got better as it went along. The viewers that gave this a low rating didn't really understand the meaning behind this story. They ( Claire and Aidan) make a pact after they meet to break up after they graduate from high school before they went on to college. It didn't go according to Claire's plan though. The writing could have been better but overall not a bad movie. Some parts of it were boring. This movie is more geared towards the younger viewers.

Its just simply boring, there is absoluetly no point and no purpose for this movie, complete waste of time.

And even the lead actress felt way more boring than the movie itself, didnt feel the same way about the others, so it might be something about her that it didnt work for me.

No more - and no pun intended. You may know the song or the lyrics I am quoting here. Maybe not, the song is quite old now (2022), who knows if it is even on anyones radar, when you will be reading this? Whatever the case and many have made cases against the movie and against the two main actors ... I understand their reasoning - I just felt completely different.

Even those who do not like the movie, admit that there is something there ... in the story. They just feel that the actors were not up to the task (chemistry wise). You can judge for yourself. Having watched and still watching a lot of movies ... I can tell you there are many worse examples out there.

I like the premise, though it seems to set impossible parameters from the getgo ... which I guess is the point. Still I like the interplay, I like that not everything is spelled out. Although maybe still too many things are being said, that we could be guessing anyway.

Charismatic leads (imho) and a decent flow. Just do not overthink it - and remember, they are young ones ... they are open to make mistakes. No one is free or rather perfect the way they are ...

It is fast paced movie with new depiction of love and it's intrecacies. Music and songs used in the move are apt and beautiful. The lead female actor is good at her job while the male lead actor is little stale. Some of the scene are little streached which seems little lengthy.

The acting, the storyline, less than mediocre. I watched this over four days, just to get through it.

Can't do more than 20 minutes at a time. Cringe worthy from start to finish.

It's a fresh new idea for a teen romance flick which I like. Even the main actor is awesome. He's very charismatic and likable. I thought he was a Wayans at first lol. What ruined the movie for me is the pathetic female lead character. She was so unlikable and cold hearted that I was actually hoping for her demise. The ending was trash too. Pretty sure a 13 year old girl who just broke up with her imaginary friend wrote the script for this one.

The actors are unlikeable, there is no chemistry. Dialogues and scenes are too long and boring. There is no real plot. I was extremely bored to watch to the end.

This movie is typical of the writing and today's Hollywood.

The female lead knows everything and is very sure of herself. Knows exactly what she wants in life and will do anything to get it. Including, sacrificing friends and love.

The male lead character is portrayed as a fun-loving buffoon who doesn't know his true passion for music and has no idea what he wants to do in the future.

And the only true love during the movie is portrayed using two female characters.

My suggestion, skip this movie and watch any teenage movie from the '80s or 90's instead.

Well, that sucked. 1,5 hour just flew out the window. I get what they tried to achieve, but it just did not work out at all. Zerooo chemistry between the lead actors. Lead actrice had actually no chemistry at all. No dept in the story, really boring. Cringing sometimes even. That's why I didn't feel any connection with the characters or storyline. It was like a slow stream, nowhere an exciting rapid or waterfall. All the cliches succinctly crammed into the film. Missed opportunity because it had potential! Ps. I liked the sidekick actors more then the leading actors!

This is a mind numbing movie. Boring OVERLY predictable plot and boring acting. Honestly Netflix please just spend your money renewing seasons for shows we need and less on stuff like this. Who was the target audience for this film? Was it the actors? Sigh. Watch this if you have absolutely nothing else to do.

Oh, I absolutely loved this movie. It was such a different take on the usual pre-college romance stories. It had such a unique, real, and tough-perspective way of approaching the relationship between the two lovebirds. The film showed some of the beautiful moments between the couple but really concentrated on the theme that they would go their separate ways prior to college. It was all about finding oneself as an individual at the same time as looking at the impact that a supportive significant other has on that path, whether they stay prominent in each other's lives or not.. Definitely worth watching this sweet and fun movie, in my opinion.

Ok, to be honest, I saw this movie because of Talia Ryder. Beside the fact that she is really georgous, I really liked her performance on Never Rarely Sometimes Always. I guess that in every promising actress' career, there has to be some bad apples to glorify the big ones. This is the case. The rest of the cast... sorry, but they all are forgettable.

I don't watch trailers, so I thought this one was going to be with a similar argument of All The Bright Places with Elle Fanning. You get me, that kind of young/teen drama. Not a corny one.

Hope Talia Ryder's role on the upcoming film Joika along with Diane Kruger, will be awesome. Can't wait for it.

I watch this movie because of Talia Ryder , I saw her in the Do Revenge and she's so gorgeous and really freaking beautiful!!!! I haven't read the novel yet so I'm gonna talk about the movie (only the movie not including the book!!!) The story is so boring. The way them tell us the story was like so plain. To be honest I'm not gonna rewatch this movie again. But Talia is so hot and I love her so much. Her face is like so amazing and her side profile is so perfect. Even her voice is so soft and so pleasure to listen to it. I'm gonna keep watching and looking forward her as my favorite actress. Love you Talia , I'm a big fan of your !!
