The Worst Film Ever

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

>>>>Spoilers contained<<<<<I loved this film, but despite it sticking to the book generally, it made it more clichéd and ruined the book's grace in which Tessa takes to dying. In the book, Tessa has such an anger at the world which is different to Ol Parker's adaption. Dakota's accent shocked me at being so accurate and overall her attempt at acting the bitter dying girl was very good. I would've so much preferred the film to stick to the original book as I felt some of the emotion that was conveyed by Tessa in the book was lost. Overall, however, excellent actors working to create a moving film.

Now is Good is a British film about a girl who is dying. It's a familiar tale and a bit clichéd at times however as a drama it's pretty good. I found it quite realistic and pretty engrossing. The acting is pretty good especially Dakota Fanning who is excellent. Her character is strong willed and at times not altogether likable however isn't this the case for a lot of girls at this age. Paddy Considine does a good job as her dad struggling to cope with the imminent loss of his daughter. The storyline follows Fanning as she tries to pack in a wish list in the last months of her life. The list is predictable and a little depressing, which is a symptom of our times. The acting however does make up for any weaknesses in the plot. There are some emotional scenes that are handled well. Now is Good is an enjoyable if fairly predictable drama that for me thanks mainly to the acting just nudges an 8/10.

What's the point of watching a movie if you in first 10 minutes understand what's the movie is all about? Yes, you may feel pity for the girl, and for few moments in the movie, you can not help praising the acting, but in the end, it's a movie you will forget easily. Acting was good from the side of Dakota Fanning and her father Paddy Considine, but other than these two, acting was actually below average. The movie is based on the book, but I think director could have thought from different perspectives. Like not fulfilling someone's own lousy list of things to do, but rather to do something having some kind of effect. The movies gives no inspiration for the persons who are going through this scenario in life, nor it provides any entertainment to general viewer. Dakota Fanning is a good actress, she tried really hard to flourish despite of this average story and script.But if you feel pretty bad about your life, and think you don't want to live, then you might take a chance to have a glimpse of the people who are craving to live one more moment. I just wish the movie was a great one, something satisfying though having a great sad ending like Million Dollar Baby, but it is not. IMDb rating day by day losing my trust. I felt my time wasted. Curse you IMDb!

Now is Good is just alright. There were definitely some very cheesy moments in the movie that made it worse at times.One of the first things I noticed was Dakota Fanning's fake British accent. It was hard to listen to and almost made her seem out of place with the British actors.Despite being a terminally ill cancer patient, I didn't find Dakota's character Tessa all that likable. She pretty much treated her father, the only one who truly cared about, her like crap most of the time. The way the family interacted in the movie almost made it seem like she was not going to die, which was sad. The little brother was not endearing at all and a bit creepy looking to be honest. Perhaps that's what they were going for?Tessa's romantic interest with Adam comes off as unnatural and forced. I felt no chemistry between Fanning and Irvine as I watched it. Irvine was almost too much of a pretty boy to play this part I believe. He reminds of a Ken doll. They needed a guy who was a little more rugged looking to make Fanning seem more feminine. The most believable scene by far was the scene when the father broke down in tears. Such a great performance in that scene. Considine was by far the best actor in that movie, followed closely by Williams and Scodelario who had less scenes.
