Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Shinedowness Jesse McCartney and Elisabeth Harnois did an acceptable job in this film for me. Not a word or face seemed out of place for them. The storyline was not about Hollywoodized superheroes, love, friends, hate, tragedy, etc. No, it had an independent film method on how life was about. That is the refreshment that attracted me in the first place. For an early 2000's star, Jesse's attitude interested me instead of me being unattracted by superficial stardom behavior. Jesse's character, Keith, is victimized by cancer and tries to live his life the best he can. Elisabeth's character, Natalie, is at first about a character who is not victimized by cancer but lives life more easily than Keith. When these 2, Keith and Natalie, meet, things become "interesting." Keith's life helps Natalie mature and learn that the world does not revolve around her completely. This especially happens when she is betrayed.

marina_simakova The movie has its merits - clever lines and good actors, some interesting details and situations.But it is not romantic at all, I find it rather just dark and disturbing. Keith is cruel and manipulating Nathalie, playing with her feelings and abusing her trust. He is of course not an exception, teenager universe is often made up of such patterns. But if somebody behaving like that, other party can just rebel and walk out finding self respect, try to forget it all and start from the scratch with her life. But here, due to the huge drama in the situation, Keith's illness, Nathalie can not really walk out and go on pursuing him and in the same time destroying everything in her life she was working so hard for. And at the end - driving the truck into some unknown place. Is she really following her dreams? Or due to guilt and masochism, trying to live somebody's life after he is gone?

picasdan Keith exceeded my expectation of a twenty-oh-something movie. Without a shadow of doubt, the camera angles, characters stereotypes and background plotting are typical of Hollywood movies done at this time. However, the scripting is extremely powerful (maybe even empowering) and thus, gets the movie awarded as one of my high recommendations.To start off, Natalie epitomises a girl whose parents expect much from her and put her into the mold to complete a recipe that probably guarantees a successful adult as the outcome. As a matter of fact, immediate positive outcomes are rather palpable; she views them as fruits that she has industriously worked for: a seat in AP Chemistry class, a coveted boyfriend, a top position in a tennis league that likely grants her a college scholarship. Therefore, rebellion is hardly seen at the beginning of the movie.Acting as the build-up of tensions in the story line, she met Keith, a boy who doesn't fit into the norm and shows much anarchism. He alters Natalie's perception towards her playing tennis, acquiescing to her parents and eventually her whole life in general. Indisputably, the influence that Keith has on Natalie is tremendous, even redefining herself and unravelling what she wishes to attain.Interestingly, despite having an official boyfriend who causes much jealousy, Natalie doesn't freely open to him. She declines to have sex, lying to him about her spending time with Keith. Meanwhile, her relationship with Keith is naturally fostered with barely any obligations. Clearly, Natalie finds a strong connection with Keith, the one that Rafael cannot possibly develop. She feels free when she's around with Keith, and more importantly, is herself and not any replication of someone else's shattered dream.Keith reflects a darker side of, in my opinion, everyone. This side sees the future tinged with a bleak palette, a hopeless prospect of desperation. Moreover, it propels exclusion; one doesn't think he or she is worthwhile of connections with others.I sees lots of aspects of myself in the movie, and I believe so do any other ordinary human. The concept of human connection has become so familiar yet strange to many of us; familiar because all relations we have are, in essence, human connections, and strange because few of us mention it or endeavour to conceive a term for such thing.All in all, the complex scripting of the simple scripting revolving around humans connections makes this movie stand out, and luckily I notice this brilliant anomaly.

alialianna overall I liked this movie a lot, Jesse's condition really surprised me and this title reminded me of "a walk to remember" but not as tacky. however, what bothered me most about this film is the first half of it, which made me want to stop watching for several times. most of the dialogues between the two leads didn't make sense to me until the end and In comparison to Jesse who is spectacular in this film, Elizabeth wasn't such a good actor at the time this film was shot. almost every scene with her I kept saying to myself "are you kidding me?", a lot of her reactions were way over acted and she lacked character. also, now that I see the soundtrack list I'm quite surprised, because during the film I heard only one melody, repeating itself between dialogues and it wasn't a good one either.
