[Movie] A Frustrating Love Story: "Love, Rosie" Review

This movie is frustrating in every way, if I must say. I'm a fan of a good love story, especially when it's very realistic but this one is everything that is not the kind of love story I've seen before. It hammers so much on the dangers of not communicating and missing the right time over and over. It's scary how badly things can turn out.

No, it didn't end in a tragedy or a sad ending but it's definitely not the movie that will give you the butterflies you tend to get at the end of a story. The characters takes us on a roller coaster in their love story, ups and downs with almost no direction until the very end. But it's interesting to watch how they complicated the whole thing.

"Love, Rosie" is a romance movie based on a novel with a few touches and changes, released in the year 2014. The movie was directed by Christian Ditter and written by Juliette Towhidi and Cecelia Ahern. I didn't realize until I read some comments about the movie today, that the male actor is same as the guy in "Me Before You"

Even though the female lead looks familiar, this is the first movie I'm seeing her and sadly, she left a great impression with how annoying her role in the story is. The chemistry between the two is amazing, actually. If only for that, the movie could get a 10/10 from me but it's quite frustrating they didn't use the chemistry as they should have.

Rose (starred by Lily Collins) and Alex Stewart (starred by Sam Claflin) grew up together from when they were 5 and have been best friends since then, they both think they are not right for each other. So they watch each other be with others, get hurt and never communicate how they truly feel about each other and it continues.

Rosie is so carefree that she had a one night stand that got her pregnant in the most embarrassing and annoying way, because viewers didn't see that coming since everyone was expecting the two bets friends to confess their feelings at some point and having a child will make it seem difficult for the two of them.

Alex on the other hand seem like a smart guy and always there for his friend but is always missing the timing to say what he truly feels towards his best friend. It was quite realistic at the beginning when it was hard for them to confess how they feel but dragging it on till when Rosie got married, had children, becoming a widow and Alex got married, got divorced before they finally open up.

The story is wild really, so frustrating and it's not a story I'd want to hear happening anywhere in the world, I'll say the movie or the story took the saying, "Finding the right time" way too personal that it dragged on for years as the two who have great chemistry on screen continues to be clear about their feelings. I'd recommend anyways.
