Five Feet Apart (2019)
Five Feet Apart (2019)
2019 | Drama, Romance
Five Feet Apart is the story of Stella, a high school sophomore who has cystic fibrosis. We first meet her when Stella admits herself to Saint Grace Hospital for one of her "tune-ups" while her two best friends are going on a nice tropical vacation. Also in the CF ward is Poe, her homosexual best friend, and Will, a 17 going on 18 year old sort of rebel. Female-centric "Rebel Without a Cause" crossed with "The Fault in Our Stars" as the two fall hard for each other unable to get closer than 6 feet next to each other. If they get much closer, they could catch the other's bacterial infection and die slowly and painfully. This lighthearted romance (natch) breaks your heart while instilling the importance of human touch. Directed with limited skill by the actor who plays Rafael on Jane the Virgin, Five Feet Apart is a nice distraction, but not highly recommended if you want high quality.

I actually didn't realize this was a remake until halfway through, and now I fear it's ruined the twist of the original Dirty Rotten Scoundrels that's been on my to-watch list for years. Oh well. The performances are great, the humor mostly works, I really have little to no complaints. It wasn't outstanding, but my wife and I enjoyed it.
