This author makes all of her characters rich with no real explanation. They all have this free time and money, and the men have some stereotypical professions the women think are "sexy." It's often done in a way that feels very ungrounded to me...
It keeps the humor in their relationship. And look at them, these bitches are so damn in love, they are always stealing looks from each other. Hope I find a relationship like this someday.
Exactly. Some men will not allow for a rational thought. He got violent on three instances and suddenly at the end has a rational conversation about their future daughter. Ryle would be lovebombing their daughter and manipulating Lily. Especially an alpha male neurosurgeon. What neurosurgeon would handle a hot oven with no mitt?
@@MsEriKaT normal ppl don't take abortion lightly. Most men have a tendency to be abusive in some way or another. We can't go around aborting every child because of their Father.
The one problem I have with your reviews is that you look at films the exact same way I do. I could not watch your Deadpool review because you were pulling off my rose colored glasses. You were pointing out everything I was trying to just “let go”. I’m making this point to say that I really trust your reviews. You aren’t sugar coating it.
It's a lot easier for her to make a clean break than the average person. Her ex is a neurosurgeon, so child support wouldn't be an issue even if her mother is independently wealthy. She owned her own business. His family took her side. And to boot, she had an attractive guy waiting in the winds. He even owns his own business. It would have been more interesting and realistic if they struggled for money or he kept her financially dependent on him. He also does an about face at the end without being threatened with legal action, getting arrested, or at least being exposed as violent in a public way.
The part y'all were talking about, about how did she let herself get finessed by him as a smart strong woman, is excatly what they were trying to show. So many people think of victims of abuse as being weak, meek, women who have nothing realy going on. And that's not always the case. Abuse comes in all shapes & colors & sizes so to speak. I was a very strong, independent woman who was super picky about any man I dated. And never in a million years did I think i'd find myself in an abusive relationship. Cut to me being about 28-29 & finding myself in my first (and only!) abusive relationship. It stayed 5 years. I was the primary bread winner, I owend my own car, I paid my own rent, I didn't "need" a man like so many women of abuse, so i'm not your stereotypical "abuse victim". that's one of the few things I did like about this that it shows anyone can become a victim/survivor or abuse.
According to an interview, I saw on RUclips the author of the book asked Justin Baldoni to play the main male character in the book as well as direct. He just wanted to direct the movie, but she asked him to play the role and he did.
He’s also the only one promoting this movie for what it is and not glamorizing it. The women that worked on this movie have been selling this as a romcom, gross.
It's worse. The big faults of the movie (Ryle being an unappealing douche from the start, the characters making nonsensical choices, everyone being hugely rich for no reason) all come from the book. At least the movie condensed down the relationships, and got rid of some of the worst scenes.
Apparently, Blake Lively had the film reedited and the film you saw is her edit. Also the wardrobe was her own and her husband wrote some scenes while the screenwriter was on strike??? Glad I didn't see this one. You guys are so deadpan and I love it! So much shade! 😎
The book is in fact NOT better, the book is terrible but (in my opinion) it’s The Room of Bad books 🤣 in the book, the flashbacks are portrayed as journal entries, except she doesn’t want to be cliche so her journals are written as letters to Ellen Degeneres, no I’m not joking; in the book all of that ambiguity of “did he slap her in the eye, was it an accident?” Is not there, she straight up acknowledges that he slapped her in the eye, pushed her down the stairs, etc, but he basically sweet talks his way out of it in a cartoony way; also this multimillionaire neurosurgeon is only 30 years old in the book, and that huge surgery that they briefly mentioned in the film (right before he burns his hand) is, in the book, a Ben Carson-style separation of conjoined twins. This book is SO goofy I’d love a book review on it🤣🤣
Light skinned women age faster and I suspect she smokes. The makeup was creasing all over her crow’s lines, even with filters and great quality camerss.
I got irrationally angry every time I was forced to watch the trailer for this garbage at the theatre! 😂 My idea of hell is this type of movie running nonstop for all eternity lol
"Discounted IKEA kitchenette" broke my brain. I mean, is that a good thing or a bad thing? It sounds like a bad thing, but, one the other hand, I'd LOVE an IKEA kitchenette. Is it a problem that it's discounted? Does it look good but will just fall apart sooner than later? Brain: broken.
Interesting that you pointed out that Lily saying she lost her virginity to a homeless boy seems very out of character based on what they showed of teenage Lily. It has come out that Ryan Reynolds wrote that rooftop scene. It does sound like something he would come up with. And would maybe explain why it doesn’t quite fit.
Based on the rooftop scene in the book vs the movie, the rewrites improved the conversation. At least she makes fun of him in the movie, and they both acknowledge their ridiculous names. The line about losing her virginity to a homeless guy is pretty much word for word lifted from the book.
This reminds me of a lifetime movie that made it on the big screen cuz it was written by a popular author & her book was popular but it feels like a storyline that’s been done before idk 🤷🏽♀️
I loved your take on the movie. I guess Blake doesn't make sense in the movie because she is older. In the book Lily is only 24 years old BUT Ryle doesn't make sense in the book because he is way too young to be a neurosurgeon!! I absolutely agree with how mean Lily sounded by saying "homeless boy". Why not say "runaway boy"...
Omg… that mom’s response is reading as the same as Jessica Lange’s line in that disaster movie the Vow (with Rachel McAdams) “I stayed with him for all the things he did right rather than the one thing he did wrong” 😂
I just saw it. I read the book. I thought it was a decent chick flick, and I like the message of ending the cycle of abuse. The term “it ends with us” can be used for a lot of trauma that we have to break. But some of the wording in the script was a tad corny lol
The names of the men (Ryle and Atlas): do the characters come from Genoa City or Pine Valley or Corinth or Salem? As for folks directing and starring in a film: perhaps the Streisands are rarer than many imagine. Once again, thanks for taking one for the team. This was a published book? One recalls Joe Queenan’s remark about bad books. 🤣
There weren't enough MarDevils, tornadoes or Victor Newaman's screaming "You got that!" to be on par with American soap. I can't get over Jane The Virgin's Rafael Solano directing himself and starring as an abuser. I understand the power of the story, but it is a bracing character shift.
I haven't read the book but the reviews I've seen...the movie is on the level of the book! CH is controversial, some readers contest that she even writes romance. Your comparison to other commercially successful if poorly written books like Twilight or FSOG is on point! LOL
I saw this trailer yesterday at Trap. I planned on staying as far away from it, for as long as possible. More so, I’m glad you reviewed it to confirm it for me.
This film was filmed in Hoboken, NJ and the flower shop is around the corner from my old apartment building. I don’t know why they filmed it there if it doesn’t take place there.
You both are my absolute favorite reviewers and I trust your instincts on film exclusively. I’m hoping you review Strange Darlings as all I’ve seen is how great it is.., I know if it’s not you’ll keep it 100.
A close friend of mine was trying to push that book on me so hard and I was like GIRL, you must not know anything about me as a person if you think I'm reading that book. So I already know nothing will be spoiled with this video lol
Blake Lively is a good actress. Potentially a great actress, but we need to see her in the right film to tell that. I don’t understand some of the choices she makes in her career.
I havent seen the movie so idk how the characterization is, but I kinda like that she is supposed to be this strong character. I know a few women who have been abused and all of them are headstrong bullish type women that you would never think would take it.
I saw the movie yesterday. I would describe it as Sweet Home Alabama meets The Devil Wears Prada with a splash of Sleeping With the Enemy. And yes.. the 3 don’t blend well!
I love your review , and I agree the movie left off some big important parts that the book better explained , especially with character development . I personally liked the book and was brought up in similar situations so it hit home , but the movie wasn’t so well executed as it could’ve been
When the only one who gets the message of the movie is the director shows us that a female gaze does not always guarantee that the message will come across.
Guys, being a florist IS a profession with continuous training throughout life. What was she doing during the years we don't see her on screen? Training as a florist. 🤷🏽
the real gag is that, from what you've said in your review (I haven't seen the movie...I just can't lol) the movie is an improvement on the book, which is rock bottom ya-level schmaltz w/o the benefit of good actors or glossy cinematography.
okay im back! so this movie definitely did NOT handle the subject with nuance or realism, felt like a lifetime movie! why is this... oh right,colleen hoover is popular... EW. i did literally have to laugh as quietly as possible a few times toward the end,especially seeing that fake ass tear roll down atlas' face upon delivering that insane speech! atlas violently confronted someone in a fit of rage. he is NOT THE ONE EITHER COLLEEN. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.
This movie was infuriating. As a woman, dating/having relationships like this is so reckless. Her running to Atlas right after almost being SA by her husband pissed me off. I couldn’t imagine wanting to be around any man after that, unless they were my kin or a police officer. Horrible decisions all around. 22:45 ITS KYLE WITH AN R 😂 literally me.
Well, I don't think so. She needed protection and support. It was obvious she'd run to him. But it ain't explain why she let Ryle back into her life after a while just to eventually tell him "we have to divorce". She wasn't that stereotypical victim of domestic violence who would keep eating dirt as long as possible. She was quite sure to leave him after she realized everything, so she should've stayed this way till the end. And if they needed to show us those words of her "imagine your daughter tells you her husband assaulted her, pushed her down the stairs, etc… what would you say" they could've put them on some different setting. A phone call, or a meeting at some neutral place, idk, but not in the nursery sitting together and cuddling their newborn kid. I felt insecure about that scene and thought he could go mad and do something to her or to the kid
The book is way better than the movie. In the book Lily is twenty something. I think only about 10 years had passed since she had seen Atlas. Also, there is more character development so you understand why each character is the way they are. I was very disappointed with the movie.
This particular story would have made more sense if she were much younger-perhaps she could have inherited money after her father died. Her giggly, naive character could then gradually become trapped in an abusive relationship, as Ryle, being older and more financially successful, slowly erodes her confidence and makes her dependent on him. The reconnection with Atlas would have also felt more natural, as only a few years would have passed.
Everytime I’m wondering if I should watch a new movie or not I go & find ur RUclips videos instead u guys are hilarious but also saving me time so I don’t go watch these awful movies 😂
Big Little Lies did a great portrayal of intimate partner violence with Kidman and Skarsgard. This isn’t giving me the same vibe.
right that was scary and the acting was amazing
Agreed but that was a series with 2 full seasons. Not even the people behind could have compressed into a convincing movie
I agree big little lies did it great and if they do a part 2 to this movie they should watch season 2 of big little lies it was great
This author makes all of her characters rich with no real explanation. They all have this free time and money, and the men have some stereotypical professions the women think are "sexy." It's often done in a way that feels very ungrounded to me...
They are forced to watch all these bad movies and their soul is still intact to their bodies... I am gratefull for their sacrifice...
It keeps the humor in their relationship. And look at them, these bitches are so damn in love, they are always stealing looks from each other. Hope I find a relationship like this someday.
I’m always grateful that they save me a million dollars going to the movies smh
They're the real life version of Mystery Science Theater 30000.
To me the most unbelievable is that Ryle let her go with the baby. Ryle would use their daughter for control
Yuuuuuuuuup
Which is why I would've thought she'd have an abortion
Exactly. Some men will not allow for a rational thought. He got violent on three instances and suddenly at the end has a rational conversation about their future daughter. Ryle would be lovebombing their daughter and manipulating Lily. Especially an alpha male neurosurgeon. What neurosurgeon would handle a hot oven with no mitt?
I haven't read the books but I saw someone talking about how in the books he uses the daughter against her constantly

This sounds like it should have been a Netflix movie.

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!
You bet! All the cast is way older
@@verachocholova7078Atlas is the only one I can buy being younger.
huh she definitely don't look 23
They aged the characters up for the film adaptation.
As the owner of a discounted IKEA kitchenette- the _nerve_ of you, good sir! 😅
I wouldn't be confident the book is better, since it's written by Colleen Hoover.
The basic story itself is just totally cliched bad romance novel tripe … What a joke … The novel sounds like it must be rubbish too
Its better. Well, at least more well rounded.
It's worse. The big faults of the movie (Ryle being an unappealing douche from the start, the characters making nonsensical choices, everyone being hugely rich for no reason) all come from the book. At least the movie condensed down the relationships, and got rid of some of the worst scenes.

I also read the book. It was pretty goofy. I had forgotten just how goofy until this review brought it all flooding back.
@@jandmvideos9051I don't think it was "goofy". There's a very strong message in the book.
I don’t trust the taste of someone who says Colleen Hoover has a strong message in her writing.
I love how they keep repeating that Blake Lively looks like in her 40s lmao She does look 40
Not that theres anything wrong with that but it doesnt fit the role.
Light skinned women age faster and I suspect she smokes. The makeup was creasing all over her crow’s lines, even with filters and great quality camerss.
Speaking of Stevie wonder I saw him once at a chic filet and was shocked a legend like that was just chilling at chic filet eating some nuggets
It is so amazing that you guys saw Stevie Wonder in person. I am incredibly envious.
"...the Lily I know" took me out 😄
“Red flag factory” I laughed so loud !! 😊😅😂
I got irrationally angry every time I was forced to watch the trailer for this garbage at the theatre! 😂 My idea of hell is this type of movie running nonstop for all eternity lol
I can’t 🤣 😅!!!!
WOW! Stevie! Y’all deserve these experiences we love you.
Wait… from the paparazzi photos of filming and seeing Blake lively costumes I thought they strayed from the book and set this movie in the 90s lmao
I already knew yalls thoughts before i clicked on the video 😂
Again....another movie ill never see but im here for your review.
The fact that he is welcomed back into her life after THE ALMOST RAPE…. Yea no. Fuckkkk this movie.
Thiiiiis. I thought I misunderstood 😮 like WTF?
I coparent with my ex husband who sexually assaulted me. 😐
Like they said it different levels to DV and believe women do get R by parterns , married and dating.
It's probably common in real life, but this movie doesn't feel anything like real life.
I’m seeing this tonight. I’ll be back to listen on my way home.
I was going to take myself on a date to watch this movie, I'm glad you've convinced me not to lol
That’s too bad. Me and my best friend just watched it. It was a GREAT movie that portrays what real abuse can look like for a victim in denial.
Love Nick's reactions to these character names 😂
"Discounted IKEA kitchenette" broke my brain. I mean, is that a good thing or a bad thing? It sounds like a bad thing, but, one the other hand, I'd LOVE an IKEA kitchenette. Is it a problem that it's discounted? Does it look good but will just fall apart sooner than later? Brain: broken.

YES!! and the number of times he says it had me giggling.
I'm reading the book but I gave up. I'll try it again.
Not a fan of Blake's movies. She's beautiful... And that's about it.
Save yourself the trouble. I bet Cindy ("withcindy" here on RUclips) has a review of it, she has a lot on Colleen Hoover, and she's wonderfully sassy.
This reminds me of a lifetime movie that made it on the big screen cuz it was written by a popular author & her book was popular but it feels like a storyline that’s been done before idk 🤷🏽♀️
I'm surprised this is a book. The plot and characters sound like wrtier workshop prompts.

It WAS mean spirited of her to say that about Atlas to a stranger!!!
I saw this trailer yesterday at Trap. I planned on staying as far away from it, for as long as possible. More so, I’m glad you reviewed it to confirm it for me.
This film was filmed in Hoboken, NJ and the flower shop is around the corner from my old apartment building. I don’t know why they filmed it there if it doesn’t take place there.
Any difference? You can film a movie in your bedroom and say it's a spaceship if it looks like one
You both are my absolute favorite reviewers and I trust your instincts on film exclusively. I’m hoping you review Strange Darlings as all I’ve seen is how great it is.., I know if it’s not you’ll keep it 100.
The book is so bad there’s a writing convention where young Lily is diary style writing letters to ELLEN DEGENERES and also so many bl*w job scenes.
It certainly would have changed the town of the movie. 🤣
A close friend of mine was trying to push that book on me so hard and I was like GIRL, you must not know anything about me as a person if you think I'm reading that book. So I already know nothing will be spoiled with this video lol
That pull quote had me crying lol
The quote at the end was the big quote at the end of the book. I guess just bringing it home. But probably not necessary. But what do I know lol
Blake Lively is a good actress. Potentially a great actress, but we need to see her in the right film to tell that. I don’t understand some of the choices she makes in her career.
I just don’t understand why she can’t stop biting her lips
You’re too kind, she’s not a good actress her looks have taken her far. Her husband and her are mid actors who were blessed with great genetics.
Okay but when Joseph said “she’s with her new beau” I screamed laughing cause I’d expect no one else to speak like that😂😂☠️
Jenny Slate's voice is like marshmallows you actually WANT to eat ❤

willam would have CRUSHED this role
I havent seen the movie so idk how the characterization is, but I kinda like that she is supposed to be this strong character. I know a few women who have been abused and all of them are headstrong bullish type women that you would never think would take it.
To be that close to Stevie Wonder!!!!! I swear I would have lost my ability to be a normal human being!

Funny you say a woman should’ve directed it because rumor has it Blake lively and her husband basically took over creative control over this movie….
Top marks with the cast
The best were the teenagers.
The worst were Blake’s mom and Slate’s husband.
