Just Friends (2018 TV Movie)
4/10
Confusing, Cute and Messy
3 January 2021
This whole movie was so confused.

It had so many plates in the air and so many times that it all just ended up in mess.

I'll say first that it was pretty cute at parts and it had these ease about it that everyone was just open and accepting and it just made the movie run so much smoother. The grandmother character was really great and really refreshing.

The tone of this movie was honestly a rollercoaster ride. I burst out laughing when the two characters meet and it starts playing music and is in slow motion. I couldn't tell if that was meant to be serious and then when someone was looking at a photograph and it smiled. What was that about because then at other times it is very serious while also trying to build a romance.

Speaking of the romance that kinda falls a bit flat for me. It is cute at times but it is so rushed and like empty. I just didn't feel it from them at all. I think that is both the script and the actors fault.

One of the leads was just not great. It just didn't work for me.

You could watch it and support it but I think there are much better films to watch.
