Float

I've read a lot of reviews calling this movie gimmicry or corny, which makes sense given that Blake, the main cast member, is Caucasian, and Waverly, an Asian. Most people would probably say that the two just don't click, that there's no chemistry between them, and let's face it, it really shows how shocked you are to see a White man with an Asian woman. I'm curious as to how it'll be if ANYONE BUT YOU rom-com movie's female lead actress is an Asian. In any case, I think it's a nice romantic film that has a relatable plot and is both enjoyable and thought-provoking. Overall, lets say I enjoy it.

Romantic comedy-Drama '' Float '' is a romance with an underlying family drama to boot.

First of all, the story is too generic. Sure, there are some parts that are fairly enjoyable, however, there were a lot of others that just ruined the film.

The pace, for example, is all over the place, with the romance suffering the most. It robs it from the tension between the leads and leaves a lot off screen when it came to their relationship. That was evident in the ending, as the movie tried to create drama only to wrap things up awkwardly.

Also, there were a lot of plotlines that were left unexplored and suprficial, like the family drama of both leads.

Other than that, the performances were good enough from everyone.

If you like sweet and romantic getaway stories that take place in tiny close knit communities with enigmatic and quirky characters this movie will be right up your alley.

Waverly is in a predicament where she is trying to navigate both who she is, who her family wants her to be, and who she is meant to become. It leads her to make some rash decisions and go spend some time with a relative she hasn't seen for a while, but who offers her an instant warm welcome to her tiny little world and the people that make up her daily life.

It's all about to learning to breathe through her trials that pushes the story but the introduction of unexpected romance only makes it that much sweeter when she meets her aunt's neighbors.

Not like the books original storyline, its supposed to be an enemies to lovers type story but it looks like they fell in love at first sight. Im nitpicky with movies though.

Good even if the plot isnt the same.

The actors also look a little too old, they're 18 canonically.

I do love love stories, im a huge romance fan but this is a little baloney.... ive read the entire book and im a huge fan of it but seriously i cannot stress enough that the plot isnt the same. Waverly and blake dont meet the way they did in the movie, and blake doesnt have the same 'hatred' he was supposed to. He also lowkey seems a little white washed, he's supposed to be more tan.

But dont take my word for it. Just watch it yourself if you're curious about it.

This movie was okay. I only watched it because of some of the actors in it.

It's your typical Summertime romance movie, but nstead of it being teenage kids, it was mid 30s actors playing characters 10 years younger. It's funny because the book is about a teenage romance.

I was a fan of Andrea Bang from Kim's Convenience, but it seemed like she brought her character Janet over to this movie. Hopefully she's not being typecasted into playing characters that are a bit awkward and always being told what to do by her Asian parents. The name Waverly just didn't seem right for her either, because it's more of a British name.

Robbie Amell was really showing his age in this. He seemed so much younger just a few years ago in things like The Flash and The Duff, but I guess that was nearly 10 years ago now. His performance was okay.

This is a typical TV movie or straight to video movie. Only worth watching if you liked the book or are a fan of the actors in it.
