Best movie of this year hands down!

Too much of everything

Such a frustrating disappointment

A lot of fun.

I wish I could give a 0.This film was unbelievably poor. I am able to sit through absolute trash; but this I could barely finish. They even had a somewhat decent cast to work with, but the plot, pacing and themes were shocking. I am sincerely surprised this was even released, let alone given any sort of positive reviews. Even if people were OK with the disgraceful messages in this film, the film itself is an extremely poor production.It is about a struggling young adult who is obsessed with a girl he was friends with and hasn't seen since he was 10. He suffers from trauma from the death of his parents and as a result has been following this girl around the country (stalking) for the last few years and watching her from a distance in pajamas, a vest and a bowler hat (wow, so unique and quirky!). All of his friends and everyone he tells about his stalking for some reason thinks its sweet and tears up in the romantic vibes. I'm not joking. This is considered sweet in the movie.The character of his brother makes some sense, and suggests that his bro in mentally ill and requires help as result of his behaviour. His own wife apparently says the same thing behind the protagonists back; but enables him to his face. When the brother outs his wife for being a hypocrite, after the protagonists decides to show everyone how comfy his pajamas were by having a violent seizure on the ground, we as the audience are supposed to think he is terrible. I did not. Instead of treating this like a much needed intervention, the film depicts the brother in a negative light and tries to have us think of the protagonist as misunderstood and victimised. The actor playing the protagonists actually comes across as mentally retarded, Forrest Gump level. Was clearly supposed to be lovable and quirky.I'm not sure what world the writers live in where they form the impression that any themes in this film are normal, or any dialogue is representative of actual human beings conversing with each other.In dot form: - Main character was supposed to be quirky and lovable, came across as creepy and clearly mentally retarded to some extent. - Main love interest is wooden and unable to display emotion. It was clear that the writer/director was not aware of what genuine emotional reactions are. - Random murder that has no bearing on the plot in any way; what!? - Stalking is a great way to romance someone; they will eventually fall for you if you do it for long enough. Its not creepy at all, and apparently legal. - Everyone is OK with stalking, if they are not then they are just nasty people who do not understand love who should be derided. - Mental health issues that are potentially dangerous to others are to be enabled by those around you, instead of addressed. - If someone is being stalked, don't tell them, just tear up and say "awwww..."Don't normally leave reviews, but like the protagonist, this one was special...

i would have never seen this movie because of its ratings here. but the lead actress has the face very similar to girl i liked secretly for last 19 months. i searched for Rachael Bronson movies after i saw her in jumper. and waiting for forever seemed perfect.it really moved me in spite of having similar character as me having his own reasons for the similar situation he had in movie as me. maybe because its the magical touch of the director to the character that he is so likable even if haven't really achieved anything in (traditional sense) in life to tell others. its similar to the our idiot brother feel but in most romantic way so more likable.even people in the small roles are likable. i am keeping this movie in my hard drive forever for you know what occasion ;)watch it with you loved once and don't miss it if you have an awesome love story of your own with your partner.

I don't understand why it was given such great reviews. It could have been a really good movie. You know a jobless guy trying to reconnect with a childhood sweetheart who is now an actress. Sounds Like a cute story, but no, it just gets weird. I mean the main character sound like a sweetheart in the beginning but then starts turning crazy, which I really thought he was mental in the head and thats where it was going. and the girl was just gonna accept him, but i guess he wasn't crazy and it was OK that he was stalking her? I dunno, I do agree with some reviewers about the random murder..lol really, what was that all about. but there you go. was just hoping for something better.

We saw this on Netflix streaming movies.Rachel Bilson is Emma Twist, from Pennsylvania. When she grew up she moved to Los Angeles and became a TV star. She is dating her co-star, and figures they will get married, but she doesn't seem totally devoted to him. And he isn't a very nice guy. As a kid growing up Emma had a best friend, maybe even boyfriend, until they parted when they were 10. But the boy lost his parents in a tragic train wreck, and he was haunted by their presence, often turning aside and talking to them. As a young adult this boy is played by Brit Tom Sturridge as Will Donner. Unknown to Emma, Will has been moving to every place that Emma has lived, to be close to her, although he never was even bold enough to disclose his presence. His brother, a banker, thinks Will is "Effing crazy."Most of the story here is back home in Pennsylvania. Will works up the courage to tell Emma hello on the sidewalk by her home, she thinks by coincidence, but it was part of his "stalking." She isn't pleased when she learns the whole story, but movies of this sort have a way of working out.We enjoyed it.SPOILERS: Will is a funny, spontaneous guy. He is also a juggler. He has been working as a street entertainer, with face paint, in the various cities where Emma has lived, that is why she never recognized him. In the end Emma was able to show Will why his stalking was not right, but after he moved away to San Francisco and sent her a letter, she realized what he had hoped all along, they were soul mates, and she looked him up.
