Featured reviews
Romantic/Dramatic movie. Surprisingly, it is a very good movie in the genre that many will love! Despite some similarities to other ones, this film has its own character, its own style and shows us important messages beyond its dramatic style. Cara Jocelyn Delevingne is excellent in her role as many of the protagonists. Very nice presentation of the script combined with the messages for the most important things in life. Some slightly stupid elements could have been excluded, but as a whole it is very good without giving a strong dramatic element except for emotion at the end. One of the best films Jaden Smith played. It is recommended to all fans of the genre! I will definitely watch it again!
Not sure what all the hate is about!
Yeah it's a story about coming of age teens, struggling with life, learning to be themselves and falling in love. And yes... The storyline has been done before and it's been done better, but who cares! This movie has a lot of important lessons about living your dreams, being your authentic self and not being afraid of what other people think. I found all the characters in this film to have depth and I cared about them and that's what I really like from a movie. I have seen some pretty horrid crap movies in my life and this definitely isn't one of them. Sure, it's no Oscar winner, but it made me feel things and that's all I want from a good film sometimes.
I've never felt compelled to write a review until I read some of the bad reviews for this movie. This was a well-written and very well-acted film. Yes, there's a teen romance (which shouldn't have surprised anyone who watched the trailer first); but I found it to be a whole lot more than that. I'm 49, and I connected with it instantly. Jaden Smith is so good in this performance that you feel what his character is feeling - best kind of movie. Highly recommend.
Well, i loved this movie and i don't get the hate! It's predictable, like almost all romance movies, but that doesn't make it bad. Tbh I still get surprised with some scenes. The movie started really well with some funny scenes and as we went deeper the sadder it got, which is not bad. I cried about 3 times while watching it, so I would say that it's definitely an emotional movie. Personally, I believe that romances are one of the best types of movies, so i was really attracted to watch it, just by the title. I got fascinated with the acting! It was really good and there are also some familiar faces that I believe everyone knows which makes it even more appealing. I would definitely recommend it if you're a hopeless romantic like me and be ready to cry!
Life in a Year is predictable in a way, like most of these movies , but it tried to put its own spin on this story.
Jaden Smith is growing on me. You can tell he's talented and will keep growing as a performer. Cara is great like normal.
So don't listen to the overly negative reviews on here. That's just 2020 internet troll stuff. Most of these clowns on here just need something to do so they b-tch about everything. If you hate a certain type of movie, don't watch it. That's easier than watching it and then complaining about it. Me? I hate musicals. So I don't watch them and then blame the cast for me hating it. Get a life people.
