When they declared their love for each other, it was meant to be a sweet and swelling moment in the film. Then this is just some incestuous-ish romance.ĭue to the reasons stated above, I found their romance so forced and unbelievable. If that’s the case, I imagine she would also have seen Noah as an older brother figure.

Elle says that she and Lee were brought up as if they were twins, or siblings at least.

When would Elle have hung out with Noah for long enough for Noah to say that? They spend virtually every second together.

When Noah says “I enjoy hanging out with you.” At which point previously have these two ever hung out? Elle and Lee are best friends.

However, I have 2 arguments against this:

They would also interact a lot since their families are very close. Since Elle and Lee hang out a lot, Elle and Noah would interact. Now, I know that Noah is Lee’s older brother. Now on to the parts I didn’t really like.įirst, it’s an insta-romance. Suffice to say it is many a person’s dream to have a BFF relationship like that. I also liked the relationship between Elle and Lee, which I will mention again later. It’s a form of escapism for me as well because I don’t go to arcades and carnivals so often. The colours and lighting of the scenes were also very pleasing to the eye.

I liked the dance scenes at the arcade and also the scenes at the carnival. What is good about this movie? Well, I might be of the unpopular opinion that Joel Courtney, who plays Lee Flynn, is easy on the eyes. It’s something you either secretly love or something you openly love to hate. I finished watching it anyway and now it’s a funny story I like to tell others. I will admit, it was enjoyable in the beginning, but as the story unfolded, I just thought it was so stupid. I do admit that I would’ve enjoyed this more if I had watched it when I was younger. If you’re looking for something engaging and fresh, look elsewhere. If you know that you enjoy this kind of sappy romance movie, then go ahead. I would recommend this as a guilty pleasure kind of movie. It’s nothing new in the teenage romance genre. Who is more important? Her life-long best friend or her new crush? This becomes a problem as she and her best friend made rules when they were young, one of them being “Relatives are strictly off-limits”. Synopsis: A girl falls for her best friend’s brother.
