Good but Disappointingly Typical

Recommended for: Fans of Everything, EverythingSummary: Natasha's family is on the brink of being deported. Determined to stay, she seeks all possible options to reverse the decision. It's on this hunt that she meets Daniel (Charles Melton from Riverdale). In a twist of fate, their paths cross and the hopeless romantic seeks to prove to the logic-ruled Natasha (Yara Shahidi from Black-ish) that love is more than just hormones.Review: Told in an intermittent journaling style, we get to see the development of a pure relationship that both characters needed. We follow along on this journey as the characters learn important life lessons about love, family, dreams, life, and even cultural values.However, it felt like the relationship saw more development than the characters. At the end of it, I didn't feel like I got to know the characters as well as in other films. As a result, this film doesn't stick out amongst other films in the YA romance film subgenre.I don't regret watching this film at all. This is perfect for a casual movie night with friends or something to watch to get through laundry folding. I could totally see myself re-watching this. Probably wouldn't pursue purchasing or renting however. Keep an eye on your streaming services for this underrated film.Memorable Quotes: "Compared to the lifespan of the universe, our lives begin and end in a single day." - Natasha"Stars are just balls of gas burning billions of miles away. They are also a reminder of the brief time we share on this planet" - Natasha"Time and distance are the heart's natural enemies." - Natasha"How we got here, what path we choose, and who we choose to remember - they're all a part of our story. But we cannot allow the story to be written for us; because we don't have forever, sometimes all we have is a single day." - Natasha

Pretty good.

I could be just a hopeless romantic but the movie was nice. I have actually fallen in love with someone in the course of a day or a long bus ride. The relationship lasted for a long time but wasn't perfect. Sometimes it's easier for people with different backgrounds to fall in love than with similar backgrounds. Hey, it's not like we haven't seen the rise in interracial relationships in American and I'm all for it.
