Surprisingly incoherent and boring
How sad is this?
Good concept, poorly executed.
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
I absolutely love this movie. At first it seems like a typical boy girl love story but it goes deeper than that. Both characters learn to appreciate and love eachother for things on the inside.
I will be short - I haven't expected this Saturday afternoon movie (just watched it for the first time) was so, so well made - touching, bringing old lost memories, it melted down my heart and brought me to tears far more than once. Watch it! And remember it! It's a movie for the soul!
I finally believe love is friendship. But it didn't happen to me. I just hope it did.
It's the summer of 1957. Bryce Loski and his family move into the neighborhood before his second grade. Juli Baker clings onto him but Bryce is annoyed by her. In the sixth grade, he tries to shake her off by asking out Sherry Stalls but they break up after a week. Juli loves sitting in a tree. One day, landscapers come to cut down her tree. She tries to save it but Bryce abandons her. She starts raising chicken. She gives eggs to Bryce. Two weeks after the tree got cut down, she discovers that Bryce is throwing them out. Her feelings for him flips. Bryce's feeling for her also flips with prodding from his grandfather.Madeline Carroll is adorable. Callan McAuliffe is a little stiff although that's his character. The constant narrations should stop somewhere before the middle. Rob Reiner has created Norman Rockwell nostalgia and added melodramatic problems. The effect is partly endearing. The flipping between the two points of view is compelling. It's one of Reiner's better movie in his recent years.
