Review of If I Stay (2014) by Bshop — 21 Aug 2014
Went in to this movie not expecting anything special. Knew the plot from the trailer - girl gets in accident while in a romantic relationship. Everyone else in the family is gone (Seriously in the trailer!).
There's one line - sometimes in life you make choices, and sometimes the choices make you. Really good line, I'll have to remember that next time I need it.
Other than the flashbacks (to a high-school relationship) and flash-forwards (to the present-day hospital room), really relate-able movie. "High school relationships are the most inconvenient to try and sustain. Long distance relationships are BS.".
In summary, see it for the lines, not the plot. If you have to decide between this and Sin City for date night, see this one instead. Otherwise, wait for it on Redbox or Netflix.
