Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

positivelypeachybutterfly This movie is horrendous. It is terrible from the word go but at the point you still have hope that there may be some meaning or point to it all, there is not, the story is completely unwatchable and un-relatable and utterly absurd. The characters are flat and make no sense what so ever, you spend the whole movie internally screaming at the person who wrote such stupid characters???? And it does not reach a point; there is no meaning behind all this, utter waste of time. Avoid if possible. This started as a book, someone thought it was a good enough story to write as a screen play, that screen play got funding!!! someone thought this was good enough to fund, there where many stages that this movie could have been aborted (unlike the baby in this flop) and saved us all a lot of time. I could write a more in-depth review but it is honestly not worth the time.

agentdanascully While I love Virginia Madsen, this movie is *terrible*. **SPOILER ALERT** What sober, responsible mother would let a complete stranger - slutty, no less - move into her home after a week or two, and then NOT get angry when the slutty stranger not only has unprotected sex with one teen-aged son, but forces herself onto the other one to have even more unprotected sex? NONE, that's who! I'm a fairly open- minded individual, but this film was like watching a train wreck that WANTED to wreck itself. I kept hoping it would get better, but alas, it did not (although I DID call it 35 minutes into the film, that Bette must have had a *really* crummy, unstable home life, why else would she be so broken and act the way she did. Normal people with normal lives don't behave that way). The ending is even more stupid. Ask any 18-year-old father if he's genuinely excited and ready to raise a baby. Better yet, have him babysit a newborn for two weeks. That should change his mind, toot sweet. I'd have given this craptastic flop Minus Ten stars, but there is no such option.

Tristan Smith This feel good romantic dramedy about "crazy love" is perfect for our time, a time when we all need to lighten up, a time when we all need to be living in the present. Yes, I mean "we all" literally. Amanda Crew is brilliant as Bette, a courageous carefree young lady who attempts the impossible feat of fixing an entire damaged family by having the guts to just be herself and encouraging them to be themselves. You won't regret watching this movie. You will see yourself or a relative or a friend in this movie, and you will be inspired. The one who does not like this movie is the one who is afraid to live in the now, who is afraid to experience love (internally and externally), who is afraid of life. If you are that person, I urge you to watch the film again, and again, and then again.Don't let this one get away!!

wc_ling Well acted, Madsen is beautiful, Graham Rogers' acting is outstanding. As well is the whole cast. If you're looking for an action adventure movie this isn't it. The movie reveals how some handle life's truly difficult situations in ways other than suicide. (Long term solution for short term problems.) I didn't read the novel "Angel Angel" so I can't tell you much Director Sarah Siegel-Magness deviated, but, she is an excellent story teller & the story flowed. You'll be hoping for everything to work out for all involved through out the movie.I go to the movies to be entertained and this movie didn't let me down.No crime, no car chases, no bullets or explosions. Just a good story.Enjoy
