Falling Like This

I thought the movie was pretty good. I loved Brian Vaughan playing Boyd as the classic bad boy and the interaction between the characters was explosive, obsessive, turbulent and unusual, which made the story more real. I loved the character of Boyd's laid-back mother and her reaction to Katie and Boyd's relationship--pretty cool despite it all, though a bit unrealistic because she handled it a bit too well. The characters of Katie's parents and Boyd's friends could have been played up more though--they were cast into the background or skipped over quickly. Additionally, Katie's reaction to Boyd's actions sometimes was too nonchalant, as if it didn't concern her in the least. What made this film great was the dynamic cast, the charismatic bad boy character that Brian Vaughan played very well and the rough, gritty photography because this film didn't need all the sugar-coating and super-smooth filming some other movies have to depend on to make it interesting. Overall, I'd give the movie three and a half out of five stars.

This movie is damn good. It reminds me of my high school boyfriend. You know, THE FIRST LOVE. Its reminding of how much the "bad boy" image appeals to the teenage girl, and how they still do. Brian Vaughn is one sexy hot boy for a teenager. Makes me wish I were 5 years younger.

This movie is more suited for the small screen, citing the

above given reasons. The two leads do quite well w. what

they are given. Good cinematography and atmosphere. Patricia Clarkson is stand out as Boyd's mother. Re: Brian Vaughan (IV) performance - see Brad Pitt's performances in, well just about anything, but especially: Kalifornia (1993) .... Early Grayce Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994) .... Louisde Pointe du Lac Legends of the Fall (1994) ....Tristan Ludlow Meet Joe Black (1998) .... Joe Black

I wish it had been a little more to real life than it was. I was one of the g/fs to the real life Boyd. Then we married and had a child. He has since passed away this year, 04/2018 but in the movie and I was partly there when the writer Dani Minnick was getting notes from my husband Lloyd but it stated he had an affair with his parole officer and had a baby which in fact it was myself and not a parole officer. But in any case he had hoped she would do a second part before he passed but it's unfortunate that he already gone and he won't be able to see it. But Dani if you're reading this and you maybe are thinking about it and need anything look me up and I'd be more than happy to help. Alot went on between those yrs and especially between 2010 and 2018 and I was there for all of it.

Falling Like This is about two teens, lost in the maze of youth, who find each other as the only safe ground in their lives. There is no need for depth of reasons why they are lost, so many teens go through similar experiences while trying to adjust to their lives. The portrayals are outstanding. Brian Vaughn portrays the delinquent you like, and Megan Wilson is the girl who doesn't try to change him, but accepts him for who he is. The supporting cast portraying parents and friends fit the mood of the story like a glove. Both sets of parents have their problems, as do friends of Brian and Megan. The best comment I can make is that all have worked so well together that this film is believable, a kudo hardly given to many movies. You will feel right in the middle of the story, not just as an observer.
