To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Honestly, after reading the book and watching the movie, I thought the book was far by better than the movie. The book was so intriguing and interesting but very different from the movie. The movie on the other hand, was a bit awkward to watch, because of the actors acting (in my opinion). Also, I thought the director tried a bit too hard to make the main character (Maddy) to be aesthetic which I thought was unnesaccery but I did like some of the scenes within the movie. I just wish the director (and the author i guess) could have made the scenes more realistic like the part where she knew how to swim, like c'mon she's been locked up in her room for years and she knows how to swim? In addition, the sountrack was actually really good.

> There was very kind romance > Love from the conventional ways of the 90's sparked up with today > Communication with romance and a thrill of love actually The movie gave me emotional chills, fairy tales of the new world mixed with the old love where you have to wait on someone to be present for you to actually feel the love and not just TEXT or ELECTRONICALLY feel loved.

I am over 60, and don't usually like movies with usual plots (although this one had a good, if not original, twist) or 'teen movies'. But I loved this one, even though I knew going in that it was a young love story. And I loved it a little because I related to Maddie's life, a lot because it was done well, and very beautifully.I think there is something for everyone here, from good character development, acting, editing, and even the great house Maddie lived in (although more of a beautiful jail). Since so much of it took place indoors, the house had to be a character, for the movie to work. I want that house! The Hawaii 'dream' sequences were beautiful and emotional, everything I hoped they would be. Maddie's emotions were conveyed very well.I loved that there was no nudity. I loved that he loved her the most for being funny and smart, and then beautiful. I loved that people of color were cast mostly, at least it seemed, just because they got the part, although I understand some was done due to the book it was based on.

This movie was surprisingly good. I didn't have much expectation for it since it is a teen romance movie, but I found myself smiling and loving the relationship between Maddy and Olly. It is a feel good movie with a few bumps along the way.
