Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
I guess we never know why people act the way they do. No one can judge.
Irreplaceable You features an endearing story, fairly likable leads and tremendous supporting actors. So why doesn't it work? At all. First, it's painfully dull and flat. Nothing about the movie feels authentic or developed. Abbie (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is diagnosed with cancer and is not expected to live long. But she never actually looks sick. She keeps her luscious hair, aside from a single lost lock in a scene that is supposed to be emotionally devastating but is instead eyeroll worthy because it's not deserved. The scenes that are meant to evoke emotional responses never work because they simply happen. There's no build up to pull viewers in and engage them. The moments are slapped on like a bumper sticker and contain the same amount of depth. The result is a tear-jerker movie that causes no tears.The other main issue is with the premise. I'm not sure that any writer could make this one work. Abbie uses dating apps to find a new girl for her fiancé to be with after she dies. It's uncomfortable, unfunny and unbelievable. So, of course, it never builds any momentum and is eventually abandoned in the third act. But by then the movie is nearly over and the plotline most in focus is doomed to fail.The lone bright spots come from supporting performances of Kate McKinnon (SNL), Timothy Simons (Veep) and Christopher Walken (pick a movie). Steve Coogan is also around but is underused. Just another example of the filmmakers focusing on the wrong aspects of the story. With some better choices of plot and character use, this movie might have been halfway decent.But the choices were the wrong ones, and consequently, this movie is a very poor one.
I have never seen a movie I have cried so much to. I thought that after they show in the start of the movie that she is going to die, that it was going to be boring, but even though i knew she would die it hurted when she did. This is one of the best love stories ever. It's amazing. The ending of the movie was amazing, that was when I cried my heart out. I learned that we need to live and love while we still have the chance.
I personally found this movie to be quite entertaining, however, the ending of this movie put a strong squeeze on my heart. This movie broke my heart because I could relate to it. This movie was a strong reminder of how we take life for granted.
