This movie was a heartfelt tearjerker if you are a sensitive one. I appreciated the fact that the characters were more realistic about how their specific personalities would deal with the situation. I loved the main protagonists' meet-cute. Points for originality. It is a truer representation of the everyday muck that may happen and the some of the terrible and the repetitive things we do and say to cope with impossible situations like this. All ordinary people do in those situations is the best they can and I think that all of the characters struggle in their own ways to do just that. In the process they may say the wrong things or the right things in the wrong way or the right way. In the end it doesn't matter. Sometimes there is no right way or right words if the main character is just mad at the world, or mad at the situation, or whatever it is because they are just mad, sad, tired, sick, frustrated, lost, crowded, alone, bothered, pissed-off and holding on for dear life all at the same time. All they did was their best to struggle through it with love and hoped that it was enough.

I enjoyed it for that simplicity and level of honesty.

The music was lovely and non intrusive which lends itself to you just being present with the characters in those moments. I really hate when movies are overly dramatic about it. It is devastating but the world around you doesn't actually crumble _YOU_ are the one that does. _You_ are the one that has changed.

Christopher Walken's character, Myron, provided exceptional feedback and definitely added a wonderful and interesting dynamic to the story.

The lesson for the movie is the tagline: _Don't focus on what if, focus on what is_.

I didnt think it was a good choice to start right from the "end" but still i guess its no fairy tale.

I know this its a sad movie but still i cant help thinking a much better job coulve been done to make it more heartfelt.
THe acting was notherlsee mediocre from both main characters,sometimes i felt that they were expressing emotions differently from what the context or speech implicates. The soundtrack its well picked but still its nothing out of the ordinary...a few calm songs and a few love songs and some couldnt really "go with the flow" of what was going on.
As for the writing i found some of the dialogues to be sometimes uncomfortable and innapropriate,and some repetitive things that dont add nothing to the story,actually found Myron to be more interesting then either one of the main characters. Sure it get a few tears out of you,even more if youre more sensitive or can relate to this,but still what makes it sad is more the subject then how it is represented.

With all things in a "mediocre" level i couldnt give it more or less than a mediocre rate.

PS:Found really cute and original the way Abbie "claimed" Sam,but did not check the veracity of this.

**Sentimental clap trap that tugs at the heart strings, even if it isn't very good**

Gugu Mbatha-Raw is great, but she can't carry this contrived weepy burden of a film. Some terrible dialogue and little chemistry between the two leads doesn't help, and the whole film comes off as cheesy and kinda shallow.

5/10
