The Way You Look Tonight

This is a small independent movie, I don't recall ever having seen any of them in prior roles. Yet I was impressed at how uniformly good and authentic the acting is. In fact having "unknown" actors probably helps its impact.

I'll not give away the plot, which is something I've never encountered before, but the cast list and characters gives a hint, there are Heloise #1 through Heloise #17. If you find a person who "clicks" with you, how much does their "looks" matter in all the days afterwards?

Interesting and entertaining, my wife and I watched it on Amazon streaming movies.

I nearly gave up on this film in the first half hour, but lead actor Nick Fink kept me interested. For a newcomer, he has immense chemistry with the camera and believable delivery.

The script is flawed in that it has natural humor, but has a sitcom smirk. The two go together like honey and motor oil. All of the bones are here for a spectacular TV series, if handled mindfully and steered away from gags.

The parallels with people in so many life situations who do not conform to expectations is right there. Examine the human experience in those varying situations and the scripts write themselves.

This was a valiant effort and there are some promising talents in the extensive cast.

Production note: this is a film where photos with the names in the end credits seem crucial.

Glad I knew so little going in (be careful reading the other reviews here!): each revelation as the clever narrative unfolded surprised and delighted me.

I wasn't expecting to be moved and challenged by what appears at first to be a standard meet-cute rom com. Nick Fink does a great job in the leading man role: he's lovable, confused, and also not perfect, which really drew me in.

John Cerrito wrote, directed, co-edited, and co-produced this: rather than leading to a vacuous vanity project (as that often does), this is a terrifically successful embodiment of what's clearly his singular vision.

This film has really stuck with me!

This film is on the verge of being fantastic, but it never quite gets there.

It's not because of the cast, Why Nick Finck isn't a huge star is beyond me, he is amazing on camera and just feels like a natural. Overall, every cast member is stellar.

The film takes a little too long to get going, the first 30 minutes seem to drag. Then the story is revealed and the film gets interesting. The slow start is made even weirder by the ending, which seems quite abrupt and provides little closure to the story arc. With a bit more budget and some better writing, this would have been a 10/10 film. As it is, it is still very much with a watch.

It is really hard to find new ideas for movie authors and especially to bring the ideas to life. This movie made it happen. Sweet and funny way to make us think about relationships and that our beauty is on the inside.
