LOVEFiLM Review Like Crazy

  • 3.5 stars out of 5  

    By Jennifer Trevorrow from LOVEFiLM

    Unscripted and off the cuff, writer/director Drake Doremus' Like Crazy is a refreshingly honest take on long-distance love, and boy does it pull at the heart strings.

    Most films of this type I can take or leave and are instantly forgettable but there was something very different about this one. It had a level of realism that most films about relationships are missing. The behaviour of the characters was very recognisable and true to how people behave in an impossible situation, you start to fight and resent the one person you shouldn't be fighting with because there is no-one else to blame. Plus the ending was very good, it's not a Hollywood ending but that's not to say it's a happy or a sad ending, just one very much based in reality.

  • Not fun in anyway.

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer , 19 Jun 2013
    At no point did you feel that this guy was worth the trouble she was going to to be with him. He was very dull, with little in the way of personality or likeability, certainly not a strong enough character to believe that these two intelligent and stunningly beautiful women could be so taken with him. And what's more, it didn't feel like a truly passionate relationship. It actually felt like something that was fun at first but ultimately unhealthy for both involved, and that their continued contact was like picking at a scab. So the title was very misleading. Should have been called 'Immature behaviour' And then the ending was just miserable. So, so miserable.

  • Beautiful and charming . . .

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By ZenZii (165 reviews) from Preston , 08 Jun 2013
    Pretty cool chick flick movie. I'm not usually one for this type of movie but this was intricate and beautiful. It drew you into the lives of the two lovers and the pain of the visa that tore them apart. Can they last this terrible separation as they keep coming up to brick walls x x x

    The film is not a romantic comedy as viewers may first imagine it to be. The film actually portrays young love and how dificult it is to maintain a long distance relationship. I thought that the acting was excellent and very natural. As the characters journeyed into adulthood and realised that they could not get away with breaking rules the weight of their sorrow and frustration was evident. The ending was realistic and not set up to make the viewer feel good. The film pace is slow enabling the characters to develop and so it may not be a film for people who prefer action and drama.

  • A new favourite..Natural and Heartwarming

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Elizabethan (1 review) , 09 Mar 2013
    Admittedly I'm a complete lover of predictable, heart warming chick flicks and expected this film to be much of the same. However I was completely drawn into the very real nature of the characters lives, relating to their experiences. The emotions portrayed seemed very natural and it was good to see new and in my opinion underrated faces on the screen. The story didn't follow the same cookie cutter chick flick storyline. I didn't find it predictable or boring, instead it had my full attention from start to finish. Would definitely watch again and have already recommended this to my friends!
