I was bored and decided to view some trailers, I saw one for a film called if I stay, the film follows a girl played by Chloe Moretz who is involved in a car crash and I guess you could say she’s a ghost but anyway, the film is told through a series of flashbacks which I really can’t remember because the film was too long and too dull for me to handle, now don’t get me wrong but there were a few emotional scenes and with me being an emotional sponge when it comes to movies I kinda cried my eyes out at some parts of the film, so let’s dive in to probably the worst film I have seen ever.
So we follow a girl called Mia who is a cello prodigy she is waiting for a letter about her placement in Juilliard (a prestigious music school) one morning her family decide to go on a drive with it being a snow day and school is out for Mia and her little brother Teddy as they are driving thorough the woods the car they are driving collides with another car, Mia wakes up and finds out that no one can hear or see her, at the hospital Mia has 3 broken ribs a collapsed lung and internal bleeding, Teddy on the other hand is fine and conscious, through some flashbacks we see that Mia has a boyfriend called Adam, any way cut a long story short she has to decide whether she should wake up or go to heaven, halfway through the film and Teddy has died of a heamorage and Mia is still deciding on what to do, her grandpa comes in, now this to me was the most emotional part, the grandpa tells Mia that her dad made a sacrifice his job as a band member and bought her a cello, he then tells Mia that he wishes to make a sacrifice and tells her that she can let go.
So anyway at the end of the film Adam comes to visit and plays her a song and then she wakes up deciding that she wanted to wake up instead of die. And that was if I stay and ohh boy did I hate this film, I got so bored with it I skipped major plot points because I was bored and don’t even get me started on the dialogue I mean talk about cheesy oh my god the whole film was filled to the brim with cheesy lines, any who I really didn’t like this not one bit the hospital drama was good I mean I cried a few times but apart from that nothing else happens the flashbacks are just dull and I think their more of a filler to the story, if the film focused on her decision in the hospital then I would of enjoyed it.
Now let’s talk about acting, wow and I mean wow the acting was poor I mean poorer than poor excluding Chloe Moretz her acting was fantastic, the kid who played Adam was ugh it was so bad I shuddered every time he he spoke, now let’s talk about target audience, trick question this because I think you already know the answer to this, teenage girls that’s who teenage girls who love films about true love and drama, this is really not meant for guys it’s more of a chick flick, there’s no action in it just a whole load of cheesy dialogue and I really mean a whole load, I shall post the trailer down below if you want to take a look at this god awfully bad movie umm oh yeah rating uhh this film was so bad I can’t even give it a rating if minus numbers were on scale I would give this film a minus 6 because it was god awfully bad any way let me know what you thought of this films did you enjoy it or didn’t you, are you an emotional sponge when it comes to films like these let me know but until next time catch ya later
