Max Talisman playing Zack Anthony the struggling writer is all this is wrong about this movie. The Feel of the movie is well crafted for a small romantic comedy, Zack Mandel played by Joey Pollari really carries the movie all by himself. And the other roles in the movie are generally decent acting too. Joey pollari in his character feels like he is genuine, the emotional, frustrated, sad, and the way he carries himself in the movie feels like the right cast, he feels real. As opposed to Max Talisman who lacks to provide any kind of genuine emotion. Let me say right away that it's not because he is overweight, he just has no charisma, the way he delivers his lines are not believable, he kinda feels like a stand up comedian trying to hit his line one after another (which are not funny or genuine). There's absolutely NO CHEMISTRY between him and Joey Pollari which in the movie Joey is charismatic and his lines feels like he is living in this movie for real. This was bad casting, it sure would have been easy to find any other actor to play Zack Anthony. Whenever Max Talisman tries to act and be emotional it just all feels flat. It's a one sided well acted character by Joey Pollari, but I'm having a difficult time to get through the movie because of the hollowness of Max Talisman's Actiing. Such a shame with a different actor where Joey could have chemistry with the character of Zack Anthony, this could have been a really sweet rom-com. I gave it 2 stars for Joey's well acting and good story line. But the Director should have seen the problem with Max Talisman not belonging into this movie and have a recast for the character of Zack Anthony.

From the comments that I heard about this Live Action Remake of Snow White 2025, and the ever so low ratings on IMDB, I was expecting this movie to be simply awful. To my surprise, I thought it was simply lovely. I loved that all the actors singing performances were not pre-recorded, and the actors sang the songs live on camera. The Visuals were beautiful, I was expecting not to like the Actress playing Snow White, but she was not bad at all. Andrew Burnap who plays Jonathan (he played Snow White's love interest) was very handsome, charming and had a lovely voice. The duets when he and Snow White were singing together were perfect. Not to mention Dopey such a cute character <3 of course this goes without saying but the incredible CGI was out of this world. The animals and their expressions were what Disney is all about, the warmth and emotions that they bring to life is just outstanding and heartwarming. The actual thing I thought was bad about the movie was "Gal Gadot's Performance". She simply did not fit well as the role of the Evil Queen. She might be The Best Wonder Woman, but her acting was not great, terrible actually. Especially if you compare her to Charlize Theron which her acting as the Evil Queen on the 2012 movie was outstanding.

I have been waiting excitedly to see this movie for so many months. As a Gay Young Adult I was looking forward to a new Coming of Age Story that seemed sweet from the promotional pictures I had seen. Yes it was Sweet, but there was not much going on other than knowing that both Characters "George and Max" Liked each other. The Story was cute "fluffy type of movie" but there was a lack of exploration regarding George's first relationship and the growing feelings between the two characters was a fail. This was more like a "Hallmark" movie rather than the comparison that some have made to "Heartstopper (which this movie should not in any way be compared to it)" it was cute but it ends there. This movie has no re-watch potential IMO as the storyline is too simplistic.
