Review of Like Crazy (2011) by Reza P — 08 Jan 2013

I really wanted to like this movie but it could not have been any more annoying and unromantic. It was supposed to be a love story. The heart-wrenching kind when your love for eachother is so passionate that you cannot bare to be apart.

Normally this happens after a romantic relationship has ACTUALLY had time to develop, but for this young and nieve couple, their inability to be apart after only knowing eachother for what seems like a WEEK, sets up the foundation to make them "suffer" for the rest of their lives.

I would hardly even call their relationship romantic or passionate. It's difficult to convince an audience that the couple has a "deep love" for eachother when it is quickly and easily diminished by a couple of relationships that they keep on the side.

I gave it 2 stars only because I usually have a hard time sleeping, and this movie being only an hour and a half long, managed to break my insomnia.
