Ikr! The details of her expression are stunning- her neck muscles constricting when she gulps from guilt, her gradually fading smile And the slight shine in her eyes from the unshed tears
As a musician myself the transition in his confidence when he plays is perfect. It's so real and relatable. He starts stiff in his playing and his voice isn't relaxed. As he moves through the song his confidence builds, his singing loosens up and his playing relaxes. You start to hear little fills and then nearing the end his singing is beautiful and he's busting out riffs on the piano. Such a great scene!
Agreed. Best scene in the movie, in my opinion. Also, just asking, the final verse of the song, seemed like he put a note of dread in it that I really like. Or could be my imagination.
its more than this.. i worked in film and i havent seen anything like this.. he actually is playing this.. hes quite a good player. but this is brilliant. This is now one of my favorite moments in film.. just wow
Forreal. I came to see this for the comedy (which I still enjoyed), so having this GENUINE emotional maturity come out of NOWHERE was a shock to the system in the best kinda way.
I know this is just a movie, and this is simply a scene in the script, but watching Jennifer absorb the gravity of that song, the way the camera moves in, the way the muscles clinch in her neck, and she does this tense swallow and looks around fearing she is being judged at that moment is such a powerful scene, it’s quite captivating. I’m not sure what constitutes watching this too many times, but I may be there or beyond that.
Didn't notice this on my first watch, great points. I love how you point out that she looks around feeling like she's being judged, even though she is the only person who could possibly understand the depth of how the song relates to their situation. No one else really knows, but in that moment her fear makes her think everyone can see right through her.
I am for sure at that point lol!... I have watched this scene many many times... The only other scene I have watched more as far as music scenes go is the scene in "Lost in translation" In the Karaoke bar When Bob Harris (Bill Murray) sings "More than this" by Roxy Music" to Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) It's the moment they fall in love with each other..Such a sweet scene... very few stand out to me like these do...
@@damienrobertson1593 yup. There hasn't been good comedy movies since Hangover, Tropic Thunder, Stepbrothers (for me) that has that extra kick. This was well-made.
the actor (andrew barth feldman) said that there were two versions of the song, and you see him play the simpler version, but jennifer lawrence is reacting him going full out
Meh, she’s alright. She doesn’t hold up to the great. Sorry. Too much credit where it’s not due. And don’t tell me to go do it better, I’m not a trained actor. She plays the same character in every film. Pretty average by today’s standards.
I watch a lot of movies. This particular scene is the best I have seen in a long time. The acting from both is Oscar worthy in my opinion. She expressed so much emotion without moving or speaking it is really one for the books. His cover of the song is one for the ages.
Completely agree… That was the ‘stop with my mouth open’ moment in the film… She was far more exposed there in that golden gown than she was in the beach scene… Stunning moment…
@@billtruttschelit was actually completely live and it was him. They were gonna make him record it in studio but he wanted to do it live and jennifer let him
@@krashdthe song is literally about a woman who is with men for their money using them up and she is literally with him for a car from his parents. he thinks the song is about a scary monster though, because hes just an innocent kid.

@@ThePeakOfHumanEvolution69Dude! Me too! I always knew she was pretty but this movie just made me have a crush on her. She is amazing in this movie, particularly this scene. It’s the best scene I’ve scene in a while.
The build up to this scene was great. They both had different interpretation to this songs meaning and the hidden context of the stories plot is what made this a great scene. Also, her acting was great.
If there was an Oscar category for "best scene in a movie," I think this would win hands down. The lighting is impeccable, the camera moves and editing sublime, and everything in the script has set us up for this surprise moment in which Maddie witnesses Percy's innocence, talent, and beauty; she is stripped emotionally naked, more naked than in the beach scene. He "kills her softly" with his song, while unaware of what he's actually doing to her. Her acting in this scene: seeing her machinations and their effects laid bare, and underneath it her true self, her appreciation of him, is almost breathtaking. And we, as the audience (most of us unfamiliar with Andrew Feldman's musical talents) are picking our collective jaws off the floor. Consider that somehow just prior, we were along for the ride when he clung for his life, naked, on the hood of her car as she evaded the police. Now, suddenly, he's in a tuxedo, turning a Hall & Oates pop-song into a vulnerable heart-piercing ballad. This is one of those "under the radar" movies that is, perhaps for this scene alone, unforgettable. Kudos and thank you to all who made it. The script doesn't let go, as she asks afterwards, "What are you?" It might be a silly and implausible movie, but everybody brought their "A" game, and it shows!
The cinematography in this is so simple and yet utterly brilliant. The way the camera moves in on her just shows you her vulnerability behind the facade. I've not seen the film yet but I'll certainly be adding it to the list.
The expression on her face of admiration/ surprise at his talent gradually turning to her realizing that she is exactly the woman the song describes, a maneater, the realization then guilt and shame! Chefs kiss! Incredible acting!
For people discussing this….he is still clueless at this point. He did not aim this at her. He simply learned a song they had talked about. The song just happened to be about a woman like her. This is all about her self realization.
@mrhyde2250 how do not agree at all? He literally learned the lyrics, he speaks the same language and the metaphor is explained in the song. That's like learning Pumped Up Kicks and saying "I love this song, but I have no idea what it means" I agree with your first comment. It seems like that was the intention of the scene given how the actors' demeanors are portrayed.
How is no one talking about how great Feldmans acting is in this scene? Even leading up to the musical number his corkyness and humor portray exactly who this charactor should be. "Good, it's time they find out" was mint. Nothing needs to be said about the acting while playing and singing "Maneater" live. (Yes it was actually Feldman playing and singing). Whole scene should be worthy of love and all the awards.
song writing, song writing, song writing.... a simple 80's Hall and Oats song... but break it down, really listen to the song....and it has an incredible impact... to go along with the amazing singing and acting.

I was never a fan of this song. Until now. Wow, this kid plays it and sings it so perfectly, differently. This actually comes from a movie I didn't get through because I didn't think it was very good, because it really wasn't. However, I'll agree with another comment in this thread - the movie might be about 5 stars out of 10, but this scene is closer to 15.
Jennifer Lawrence has some beautifully subtle acting in this scene, you can watch her go from happy-go-lucky to devastated as she realizes the song is about her and what she's done to this kid. And she does it all without a word and with barely moving
You gotta admit Jennifer Lawrence is one of the best actresses of her generation. The amount of emotion she can portray while just sitting there is astounding. Andrew Barth Feldman is an amazing musician as well.
No lines for Jennifer, but the look on her face, her head turns, her glances around the room, and her overwhelming surprise at the song and his talent that you can 'read' on her face and in her eyes speak volumes! Great scene! Well shot, well acted! ❤
@@Pseudo___they’re obviously talking about when he was performing. She didn’t say anything when he was singing, but her expressions were very well done.
Only thing is that his innocence seems to keep him from realizing he’s destroying her. To him, it’s just a cool song he learned to impress her. That almost makes it more brutal to her, though, if that makes sense. From the mouths of babes, etc.
What Jennifer Lawrence did in this scene is why she is the top of food chain in Hollywood. She does not speak and barely moves during entirety of song and yet conveys about half dozen emotions and feelings during it. It is a tour de force by professional thespian
His acting nervous while he is playing is so good. How he looks around nervously and then tries to focus on playing. Then her reaction to the song is great. Funny movie all around, but this was probably the best scene and it was serious.
This is good movie making right here. A silly, no-holds-barred style comedy, with this scene casually thrown into it - just to make sure and remind us how ridiculously talented these two actors actually are.
The irony at this point is magical. Him completely grasping the lyrics from a musical aspect but having not a clue he’s sitting with her right at this very moment. He’s caught in the web he’s so articulately describing.
Jennifer Lawerence’s acting here is probably the best she’s ever done and she’s really good. I remember how surprised I was with how much I loved silver linings playbook my first time watching and now 12 years later I get the same feeling with no hard feelings. This scene in particular I was so moved it had me in tears. Such a beautiful cover of this song. Thank you for everybody that made this movie. It’s been long time since I have seen a movie that hit me in the feels like this. This could very well turn into a comfort film for me.
This may seem weird but I'm fascinated by the acting of the guy at the round table on the foreground left. You can see him slowly becoming interested. He is actually about to say something to his date but stops to turn and listen to Percy. I wonder how rehearsed that was and if they did multiple takes to get that guy's reaction right. Maybe he overdid it just a tad, because I probably shouldn't be paying that much attention to him and yet his reaction is very logical. It's just a one of these many small perfect details that make me love this movie.
He did over do his part , which means he did exactly what he was hired to do. To out act her is a mission impossible .. he tom cruise without the height deficiency
This song is perfect for this movie in 2 fold ways. When they wrote it it was about new york which is what she is afraid of but the public thinks it is about a woman and the perceived woman is the kind she is. Highly highly underrated scene. I hate saying that but it really is.
THIS is the scene where our boy grows up. At the start he is nervous and tense... Looking around, unsure of himself. As he plays, he just changes. Great scene.
This scene honestly was really eye opening for me, I watched this movie a few weeks after my ex who was ten years older than me dumped me then broke contact. I can't help but wonder if that he felt like he was ruining me or was regretful for being with me. He watched me with such admiration but occasionally asked if he was the problem. Now I'm sitting here almost 3 months since he left still absolutely heartbroken that he possibly was feeling this kind of thing and wasn't being truthful...
Lots of comments about Jennifer Lawrence, but this scene hits because of Barth Feldman. That he can play imperfectly and even sing imperfectly (sometimes not synching the piano with the voice, the thinner more hesitant vocals at the beginning, and even hitting the wrong key with the last chord) had to be practiced many times. Add superb acting to the musical performance. How does he do all of that at the same time? This doesn't take away from JL and her performance, which are excellent too, but his is another level.
I just love Jennifer Lawrence. That’s it. I proudly follow that girl for 12 years now❤ She’s so fun and hysterical yet authentic and believable in this movie and this song sums it up
I love the scene and agree both did a damn amazing job of making me have all the feels.. but what I love most is the comments here, they’re all so supportive and complimentary..
Never heard this before. RUclips brought this up itself, and I thank the algorithm for it. This is amazing, the acting upfront, the change you see in both characters as the song progresses, and it is sung intensely well... I really want to see this movie/show now. Gotta look it up
She'll only come out at night The lean and hungry type Nothing is new, I've seen her here before Watching and waiting She's sitting with you but her eyes are on the door So many have paid to see, what'd you think, you'd get it for free The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar Money's the matter, if you're in it for love you ain't gonna get too far Oh, here she comes Watch out boy she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes She's a man eater Oh, here she comes Watch out boy she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes She's a man eater I wouldn't if I were you, I know what she can do She's deadly man, and she could really rip your world apart Mind over matter The beauty is there but a beast is in the heart Oh, here she comes Watch out boy she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes She's a man eater Oh, here she comes Watch out boy she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes She's a man eater Oh, here she comes Watch out boy she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes She's a man eater Oh, here she comes Oh she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes Here she comes She's a man eater Oh, here she comes She'll only come out at night Oh, here she comes Here she comes she's a man eater Oh, here she comes The woman is wild oh Oh, here she comes Here she comes watch out boy watch out boy Oh, here she comes Oh watch out watch out watch out watch out Oh here she comes She's a man eater
I love the crescendo of his delivery in this song. Very moving and touching from her motionless stare at him perfectly capturing the essence. Amazing cover. One of my new favorites. 🧐🥰😎🤔
Genuinly good movie. with heart and this is one of the better scenes. Amd hearing the lyics of this classic in this slowed down version make you realize how genius the song is.
The Acting of this Kid is really impressive. Watching all the little nervous looks he does starting really soft. Then, by the end he is just getting into the grove, it is a really great version of the song and I love listening to it.
I love the dynamics as he (whoever is actually playing) moves from soft to an almost hard driving beat. I really like this version of the song. I love how he goes from confident to panicked in one second when she threatens him with the announcement.
I'm no good about music, but been watching this for more than 50 times. The piano is so "touching"...his voice is so soothing at my ear. The feel is amazing.. Thank you.
Saw this film long back, but this scene stuck with me like an itch and I keep coming back here to scratch it. Jennifer Lawrence might chew you up, but she definitely chewed up this scene. With mere twitches of her face and neck muscles, with her eyes, with her radiating vulnerability, she conveys so much. What a powerhouse of a talent she is. In a movie that barely takes itself seriously keeps things light and fun, this was surprisingly one of the most memorably scenes in films last year.
I haven't seen the movie and it somehow popped up in my FB feed. I watched it with nil context and was mesmerized by the mood and how well he played the song. I might have to watch the movie now.
I just watched the movie and it was quite different to what I expected. Slap stick comedy at times then some drama and a liberating ending. I quite liked it and liked the characters also. 9/10 for me as it made me feel good afterwards 😊
This is the moment I knew this will be a classic for years to come, it's such a beautiful sequence that elevates the film, Jen's performance is so layered, and Andrew's performance is incredible.
cried watching this!! literally one of the best movie that came out recently... the acting is top notch the emotions can be felt through the screen. It feels like a classic romance movie
The expression on her face as she realizes she's the man-eater gets me every time. 10/10 acting
The ultimate face of shame, which I'm sure she had to 20 times for cameras, authentic every time. These are top actors
Ohhh man I never even made that correlation. I just thought she was taken back by the surprise of raw talent… still amazing acting!!!
Ikr! The details of her expression are stunning- her neck muscles constricting when she gulps from guilt, her gradually fading smile And the slight shine in her eyes from the unshed tears
For me, it was how much more confident he gets. The more he plays.
Exactly… she feeling it deeply, on so many different levels…
Heartbreaking beautiful…
“Play it for me.” And then he plays that.
Very poetic.

Good direction and performance
The way he looks over his shoulder. Uncertain as can be. Great acting.
In the middle of a movie not meant to be taken seriously, is this powerful little scene that hits hard. Great cover of "Maneater" as well.
When it starts out his voice makes you think he's an amateur, but suddenly, BAM, it's obvious he's a trained and talented singer.

This actually comes from a movie I didn't get through because I didn't think it was very good, because it really wasn't. However, I'll agree with another comment in this thread - the movie might be about 5 stars out of 10, but this scene is closer to 15.
Jennifer Lawrence has some beautifully subtle acting in this scene, you can watch her go from happy-go-lucky to devastated as she realizes the song is about her and what she's done to this kid. And she does it all without a word and with barely moving
You gotta admit Jennifer Lawrence is one of the best actresses of her generation. The amount of emotion she can portray while just sitting there is astounding. Andrew Barth Feldman is an amazing musician as well.
Excellent work by him. He certainly wowed her.
Around 3:08 that slight face change absolutely made the entire scene.
No lines for Jennifer, but the look on her face, her head turns, her glances around the room, and her overwhelming surprise at the song and his talent that you can 'read' on her face and in her eyes speak volumes! Great scene! Well shot, well acted! ❤
Im confused what you mean by no lines.. Im pretty sure I heard Jennifer in that video
@@Pseudo___they’re obviously talking about when he was performing. She didn’t say anything when he was singing, but her expressions were very well done.
She never glanced around the the room .. did we miss something lol !
Only thing is that his innocence seems to keep him from realizing he’s destroying her. To him, it’s just a cool song he learned to impress her. That almost makes it more brutal to her, though, if that makes sense. From the mouths of babes, etc.
I read her face as pure guilt and shame for what she is doing, which is emphasized by the fact that he learned the song for her
Can we also take a moment to appreciate the song writing skills of Daryl Hall and John Oates
Well their balls-deep in litigation against each other in Tennessee right now over this catalog, but sure. Yes.
That doesn't that change anything about this song they wrote 40 years ago, or any of their other songs.
She felt a personal attack… she knew ❤
This is beautifully played. He sounds amazing.
But OUCH! That cut her deep
This was my favorite part of the movie. That cover is beautiful. Her expression... perfect.
What Jennifer Lawrence did in this scene is why she is the top of food chain in Hollywood. She does not speak and barely moves during entirety of song and yet conveys about half dozen emotions and feelings during it. It is a tour de force by professional thespian
True
Agreed nails it
That guy made the song more famous than before. Thank you for covering this beautiful song.
You obviously didn’t hear it in the 80s
His acting nervous while he is playing is so good. How he looks around nervously and then tries to focus on playing. Then her reaction to the song is great. Funny movie all around, but this was probably the best scene and it was serious.
This is good movie making right here. A silly, no-holds-barred style comedy, with this scene casually thrown into it - just to make sure and remind us how ridiculously talented these two actors actually are.
This is the deepest scene of the movie. So much good writing and acting here.
I just found this and I am addicted! This kid needs to put out more songs like this song! The fact that this was live and in one take was amazing!
The irony at this point is magical. Him completely grasping the lyrics from a musical aspect but having not a clue he’s sitting with her right at this very moment. He’s caught in the web he’s so articulately describing.
Jennifer Lawerence’s acting here is probably the best she’s ever done and she’s really good. I remember how surprised I was with how much I loved silver linings playbook my first time watching and now 12 years later I get the same feeling with no hard feelings. This scene in particular I was so moved it had me in tears. Such a beautiful cover of this song. Thank you for everybody that made this movie. It’s been long time since I have seen a movie that hit me in the feels like this. This could very well turn into a comfort film for me.
I expected nothing from this movie. Certainly was not prepared for a soul resonating moment. Incredible performance by both actors!
This may seem weird but I'm fascinated by the acting of the guy at the round table on the foreground left. You can see him slowly becoming interested. He is actually about to say something to his date but stops to turn and listen to Percy. I wonder how rehearsed that was and if they did multiple takes to get that guy's reaction right. Maybe he overdid it just a tad, because I probably shouldn't be paying that much attention to him and yet his reaction is very logical. It's just a one of these many small perfect details that make me love this movie.
He did over do his part , which means he did exactly what he was hired to do. To out act her is a mission impossible .. he tom cruise without the height deficiency
He's got a real Ben Folds feel going on here. Brilliant
Right!?!?! I said exactly the same thing.
...most especially with the instrumental part in the outro.
Movie script aside... this is a great rendition of one of my fave 80's songs. I have listened multiple times.
Andrew Barth Feldman is an incredible actor.
I've always loved this version
He plays this song with passion his voice is amazing and his talent on the piano is second to none brilliant
This song is perfect for this movie in 2 fold ways. When they wrote it it was about new york which is what she is afraid of but the public thinks it is about a woman and the perceived woman is the kind she is. Highly highly underrated scene. I hate saying that but it really is.
THIS is the scene where our boy grows up. At the start he is nervous and tense... Looking around, unsure of himself. As he plays, he just changes. Great scene.
Has to be the best rerecording of this song ever, very well done.
Watching a fun comedy and suddenly you're smack in the middle of an Oscar worthy performance from both leads. Just wow!
Sometimes, the most mediocre movies can have an absolute gem of a scene in them.
This scene honestly was really eye opening for me, I watched this movie a few weeks after my ex who was ten years older than me dumped me then broke contact.
I can't help but wonder if that he felt like he was ruining me or was regretful for being with me. He watched me with such admiration but occasionally asked if he was the problem.
Now I'm sitting here almost 3 months since he left still absolutely heartbroken that he possibly was feeling this kind of thing and wasn't being truthful...
Lots of comments about Jennifer Lawrence, but this scene hits because of Barth Feldman. That he can play imperfectly and even sing imperfectly (sometimes not synching the piano with the voice, the thinner more hesitant vocals at the beginning, and even hitting the wrong key with the last chord) had to be practiced many times. Add superb acting to the musical performance. How does he do all of that at the same time? This doesn't take away from JL and her performance, which are excellent too, but his is another level.
Very good piano skills, a true Masterpiece, lovely song and voice. Reminds me of Beatrice, the Golden Witch. 😊
I just love Jennifer Lawrence. That’s it. I proudly follow that girl for 12 years now❤
She’s so fun and hysterical yet authentic and believable in this movie and this song sums it up
Creep lol
he nailed that facial expression at 0:50
I love the scene and agree both did a damn amazing job of making me have all the feels.. but what I love most is the comments here, they’re all so supportive and complimentary..
A young Donald Sutherland
These two actors put on a world class performance. Amazing scene
Just watched this in Black and White on a monochrome mode on my phone, honestly straight perfection
Interesting
Never heard this before. RUclips brought this up itself, and I thank the algorithm for it.
This is amazing, the acting upfront, the change you see in both characters as the song progresses, and it is sung intensely well... I really want to see this movie/show now. Gotta look it up
This entire scene was made perfectly; the acting, performance and what not, just perfect.
She acted this part phenomenally. She knew the words fit her exactly... the subtle camera action moving into her was brilliant.
ピアノのリズムが彼女の鼓動の様に響く。素敵なアレンジ
and there goes me, searched the song and downloaded it right away coz of this scene. Classic. Probably simply the best
She'll only come out at night
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new, I've seen her here before
Watching and waiting
She's sitting with you but her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see, what'd you think, you'd get it for free
The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar
Money's the matter, if you're in it for love you ain't gonna get too far
Oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh, here she comes
She's a man eater
Oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh, here she comes
She's a man eater
I wouldn't if I were you, I know what she can do
She's deadly man, and she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter
The beauty is there but a beast is in the heart
Oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh, here she comes
She's a man eater
Oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh, here she comes
She's a man eater
Oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh, here she comes
She's a man eater
Oh, here she comes
Oh she'll chew you up
Oh, here she comes
Here she comes
She's a man eater
Oh, here she comes
She'll only come out at night
Oh, here she comes
Here she comes she's a man eater
Oh, here she comes
The woman is wild oh
Oh, here she comes
Here she comes watch out boy watch out boy
Oh, here she comes
Oh watch out watch out watch out watch out
Oh here she comes
She's a man eater
Thanks
I love the crescendo of his delivery in this song. Very moving and touching from her motionless stare at him perfectly capturing the essence. Amazing cover. One of my new favorites. 🧐🥰😎🤔
Genuinly good movie. with heart and this is one of the better scenes.
Amd hearing the lyics of this classic in this slowed down version make you realize how genius the song is.
This rendition perfectly captures the essence of the lyrics. Obviously the Hall n Oates version is a classic, but this cover does such justice.
The fact the actor sings it and it's not someone else makes it so much better.
The camera moving into Jennifer as the music plays in the background, I actually watch it a couple of times, I felt this scene.
A masterclass in acting, directing, and cinematography.
He learned it to sing it to her. Beautiful version. Love Jennifer Lawrence! 💔
Oh my god this is so good. I find myself playing it over and over. I really relate to the character and the delivery of this song
while I give the movie as a whole a high 5/10, this scene is undoubtably a 15/10. A real diamond in the rough
The Acting of this Kid is really impressive. Watching all the little nervous looks he does starting really soft. Then, by the end he is just getting into the grove, it is a really great version of the song and I love listening to it.
Kudos to Jennifer for taking on this role. Great movie with better acting than most give it credit for.
I love the dynamics as he (whoever is actually playing) moves from soft to an almost hard driving beat. I really like this version of the song. I love how he goes from confident to panicked in one second when she threatens him with the announcement.
I'm no good about music, but been watching this for more than 50 times. The piano is so "touching"...his voice is so soothing at my ear. The feel is amazing.. Thank you.
This is honestly unbelievable. Serious goosebumps. Wasn’t expecting that
A very powerful arrangement of the song.
Saw this film long back, but this scene stuck with me like an itch and I keep coming back here to scratch it. Jennifer Lawrence might chew you up, but she definitely chewed up this scene. With mere twitches of her face and neck muscles, with her eyes, with her radiating vulnerability, she conveys so much. What a powerhouse of a talent she is. In a movie that barely takes itself seriously keeps things light and fun, this was surprisingly one of the most memorably scenes in films last year.
One of the best renditions of the song I’ve heard. Has more drama in it and pathos than hall and Oates who I liked
“Good it’s time they found out” was a great line.
I haven't seen the movie and it somehow popped up in my FB feed. I watched it with nil context and was mesmerized by the mood and how well he played the song. I might have to watch the movie now.
I just watched the movie and it was quite different to what I expected. Slap stick comedy at times then some drama and a liberating ending. I quite liked it and liked the characters also. 9/10 for me as it made me feel good afterwards 😊
This is the moment I knew this will be a classic for years to come, it's such a beautiful sequence that elevates the film, Jen's performance is so layered, and Andrew's performance is incredible.
I just love this gal, includes everyone in the view of life! I'll bet she's a great human being in private as well!
cried watching this!! literally one of the best movie that came out recently... the acting is top notch the emotions can be felt through the screen. It feels like a classic romance movie
There are scenes that make some rom-coms memorable, and this one, is definitely one of them.
Great movie. I love the way he sings Maneater. Top notch acting.
