Cliche and boring
The idea was good but the execution was terrible. Awful filmography, script and the acting was over done. Seemed to be random decisions that lead to life and death.

At one point we were just focused on someone's stomach whilst the main character spoke to him due to the height difference

"I’d heard bits about The Battle of Algiers and knew I wanted to see it; I’m a big fan of Peter Watkins’s The Battle of Culloden and the whole mock-doc/social-realist filmmaking aesthetic. It makes interesting counterprogramming to our understanding through modern media of the difference between “freedom fighters” and “terrorists.” It’s just as relevant now as it was then."

The accident happened just as Byron noticed that the two seconds were being added to time, and nothing was the same after that. In this fascinating story, Rachel Joyce once again takes us on a uniquely personal journey.

Good feel good Rom-Com
I had heard good reviews for this but was a little wary at the run time, along with Seth Rogen being a bit hit and miss. Thankfully this was quite a feel good funny Rom-Com. It doesn't feel like it's trying too hard for jokes. The chemistry between Theron and Rogen really makes the difference.

I didn't read this book growing up, and maybe that would have made a difference. I just don't see the mass appeal of a boy going off and misbehaving for much of the book. He does reform by the end, and the pictures are truly wonderful.
