Love, Rosie, a 2014 romance movie directed by Christian Ditter and written by Cecelia Ahern. The movie takes place mainly in the United Kingdom but also goes to north America for a portion of the film and it is what you expect in a romance movie. It follows the same plot as a usual Romance movie in people feel a connection at the beginning but face a problem which prevents them from being together but in the end they figure out a way to be together. This movie in Particular expands off of that, where it has numerous problems the characters face.
The Main characters in the film are Alex(Sam Claflin) and Rosie(Lily Collins) and from a very young age they became best friends and they grew up together and did everything with each other. As kids they would lay next to each other holding hands and sharing their dreams with each other. Alex’s dreams were odd and she was the only one that thought they were normal. That little detail will come back into play later on when Alex is dating Bethany and he shares a dream that he had and she responds with you can’t be an object so why dream about it. But going back to their childhood they both wanted to stay with each other in college. Alex’s father wants him to go to harvard but Alex wants to go to Boston university with Rosie. Alex wants to major in medicine and Rosie wants to go for Hotel Management. Rosie got a letter in the mail saying she got accepted and she was so excited and she ran to Alex’s house to him having sex with Bethany and Riley ended up getting sick and throwing up. She decides to go to the pharmacy and to get medicine but the person working their said she might be pregnant so she gets a pregnancy test and she ends testing positive.
That whole scene created the main problem because they had their dreams set but the baby ruined that but Rosie was keeping it from Alex because she thought he was gonna be upset over it. The plot worked well for it being a romance movie but it was nothing out of the ordinary and it lacks content. I honestly found the whole plot confusing at times because it was so mixed and things would just come out of nowhere and they were unrelated to the main plot. Like when Rosie’s dad died, it was so unexpected which in a sense was a good thing but Rosie’s response to it was dule and left us confused. Shouldn’t she have been more upset and in mourning? Those little things can make such a huge difference in this movie being a great romance movie.
In the middle of the story we get lots of twists that make it hard for the character like Greg coming back into her life to raise Katie with Rosie. Rosie falls in love with Greg all over again and they end up getting married. This was at a time Alex realized he and Rosie were made for each other. Alex had to end up accepting the fact that he could no longer get Rosie so he leaves with frown on his face but with a plan. A few weeks later he ends up getting back with Bethany and they end up getting married. However at that point Rosie finds out Greg has been cheating on her so she goes out and finds him at a party and ends it by slapping him. She goes home and teres the house apart. She later discovers a shut drawer and when she opens it she finds letters from Alex which said how he felt and she then realized that she needed him. That whole thing leads to the dramatic ending.
You can probably guess what happens in the end cause it happens in every romance movie. Alex and Bethany move away for good and Rosie is left to herself. She begins to flourish in the hotel industry and she is living happily. She then gets word that alex and Bethany have split so Alex comes back and they kiss and then live happily ever after.
I would give this movie a rating of bad good. It could have been thought out a little more to make the plot less confusing and more interesting. It could have went a little extra in order to surpass the typical love story. It could have done that by having a different ending or changing the plot around. I found enjoyment in watching this movie, because it had points in it where it left me sad and also entertained. There was a little bit of comedy which kept me laughing throughout which was nice. The type of comedy was relief theory because when I laughed it was because it was something sexual. So if you are looking for a sad movie with a few laughs I would recommend this movie.
