💥 Love, Rosie Reviews

Personal Review

Okay, so I went into this movie expecting a typical rom-com, but honestly, it got me right in the feels. Lily Collins and Sam Claflin were so good together, you really root for them. There were moments I wanted to yell at the screen, ‘Just tell each other how you feel already!’ But then, life gets in the way, and it’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I cried, I laughed, and I left the theater feeling all mushy inside. If you’re a sucker for love stories, you’ll definitely enjoy this one. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
