Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Gordon-11 This film is about a woman with terminal caner, who tries to make her fiance's life perfect after she is gone.It is hard to summarise my feelings for this film. On one hand, it is a beautiful story because the woman is so protective of the fiance. On the other hand, she can be viewed as overly controlling. The story is very touching at the end. It is also a great thing to see so many famous faces in it.
bettycjung 3/22/18. While the acting was really good (though overdramatic at times), it was really, really depressing. Not sure if this is even a therapeutic movie to watch for those in Mbatha-Raw's circumstances. I get it that she was trying her best to gain some control over a situation in which she has very little control over, it was really depressing nevertheless.
markj-02556 Irreplaceable You is about a couple called Abbie and Sam, who are madly in love with each other. One day Abbie gets the bad news that she has cancer, and tries to set up her fiancé Sam with another woman after her death.Irreplaceable you is directed by producer Stephanie Lang (Veep) in her directorial debut, and wrote by actress Bess Wohl (Flight Plan) in her screenwriting debut. Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle) plays Abbie, Michiel Huisman (The Age of Adaline) plays Sam and Steve Coogan (Philomena) plays the wise group therapy leader Mitch.The best thing about this film is easily the acting. Everybody tries, and in some parts I admit to getting teary eyed. But that is about as good as this film gets.First of all, the writer Bess Wohl probably hasn't seen the film Adaption (2002) because she uses narration a lot. However the same shot being used every time narration is used doesn't make it any better, Stephanie Lang does an ok job at best, in my opinion she should probably stick to producing because she seems much better at that. Some of the lines are genuinely cringe worthy at some points in the film, and its like its ticking every romantic film cliché. Even though the concept is fairly original it does not capitalize on it at all making the film seem like a giant missed opportunity. Gugu Mbatha-Raw is having an awful 2018, first The Cloverfield Paradox (2018) now this. She tries her best in both of these films and she seems to be really talented, all she needs is a good script.If you like romantic films or just looking to put something on in the background this film will be okay. Otherwise stay as far away from it as you can.4/10
carolrmag I am not sure. Maybe the problem in a shell is that the movie needed to be longer so it would have more depth. I wanted to laugh and cry. I smiled sometimes. Didn't touch me enough to cry. There are some spectacular lines, with depth. But in a story with so many characters and so many... Too much happening, ruined the depth I am sure was intended. I didn't even get to connect much with the characters. I really wanted to love this movie. But didn't. Michiel Huisman, so handsome and cute. That voice... But again, they don't get deep into his character so not even him could save the movie.
