Cha Cha Real Smooth

So much chemistry between the two leads! The relationships between all characters were so well crafted and flawless. It's so much more than a simple love story it also tackles family. I especially loved the bond between the two brothers and the mother-son moments. Cooper Raiff is equally talented as both director and actor he has so much charisma. Dakota Johnson is great as always!

I understand that to get a realistic / natural feel in a movie means that things might flow by being a bit mundane at times, but this film is consistently uneventful. Even parts that shake things up a bit are quickly moved on from, and we're right back to lengthy, boring, and occasionally cheesy dialogue. The film held my interest in the beginning, but then it became obvious that it wasn't going anywhere. I stuck it out with high hopes after hearing all of the positive reviews, but was ultimately disappointed. Some tone-deaf moments: [spoiler]Early on she has a miscarriage in a bathroom and an hour later she's making moony eyes at Andrew and mounting him on the couch. In what world would a woman shrug off a miscarriage and immediately come on to a man? Would a mother entrust her autistic teen daughter with a 22-year-old man she just met as her babysitter?[/spoiler] There was some dialogue that attempted to justify the latter, but it still came across as a WTF scenario to me personally. If you are looking for a good coming of age film, I would recommend Eighth Grade (2018) instead.
