It is NOT a love story. It is a movie about a deceptive relationship and a boy who does not even love a girl who is so innocent and loves him.
I watched this trailer and for so long was waiting to watch it, but never found a good mood to. Then finally, I succumbed and bought it.
When I watched the first 10 minutes I hoped soon that the character in which Miles Teller (a brilliant actor, and one of my FAVORITES) was playing would come to his senses and change. What irked me the most about his character was that he was rude and COMPLETELY using this poor girl Amy(Shailene Woodley) to make his ex jealous.
A day after kissing Amy, he wakes up hungover and barely remembering asking her to prom as well as kissing her, and immediately texts his ex telling her he MISSES HER.
The ex already has a new boyfriend, and THEY BROKE UP AND HE TOLD ANOTHER GIRL HE LIKES HER.
The whole reason why hes such a dick is because he also has a severe drinking problem. He is constantly being seen drinking during school, work, and whenever really possible.
We later find out his dad is an alcoholic who ditched his mom and him when he was younger.
There, to me, was little to no love in this film. Poor Amy had to sit there and watch as Sutter aimlessly watched his ex dancing at prom and seemed so infatuated with her.
His ex was a sweet girl too, telling him he needs to stop and he has a problem.
The only love Sutter showed towards Amy was when he was drunk, and it was deceitful and not real love.
The movie, and acting was good. With both the main characters winning awards for acting at Sundance respectively.
But trust me if you think it is going to be a love story it sure isn't one.
