Freddie Highmore was appropriate as child star ( Spiderwick Chronicles ) and he shines , in this movie , as a teen , not fitting in his surroundings but it is not a typical weird-teen drama , loved it because of its heart .

This is a typical example of a film suffering for not daring to take a risk. The mature ending of this will they/won't they teen-drama would clearly have been George's realization that he could actually influence the world without getting exactly what he wants.Sally should have gone off to Europe, George should have painted something abstract and they both could have led very happy lives.The writers, however, decide to take the well-tread road of dull mediocrity and end the film with a very corny hand-holding scene, forever cementing its place as yet another forgettable run-of-the- mill teenage romance flick.Which wouldn't be too bad, if the rest of the film didn't actually have potential. If the ending would have been dealt with more thought and realism, it would actually be a good film. I really enjoyed 90% of the film, too bad about the aftertaste.

Oh you are actually trying to be something you're not.Don't see this.Seriously, throughout the whole film there was a "#deep" feeling, which *could* have been good if it was properly devised. Which it clearly wasn't. The pointlessness aspect of the movie lasted for the first 5 minutes and the main character's (and the movie's) ideals kind of shift here and there, without any depth at all. The music was just terrible and felt anticlimactic most of the time. Oh and the basis of the whole story - you know, the way the main character met this girl (whose name I can't remember) was very unlikely, who actually notices if someone's smoking on the roof? Her interest in him doesn't really make any sense either, (of course, love or interest doesn't always make sense, but I had a hard time sympathizing with both of them) he's completely unsociable and responds with a single damn word all the time. Never cracks a good joke or anything. Just an extraordinarily awkward teenager teenager. The script was awful too. /rant over.

So the movie is awesome, Cast,Acting,Story,Music,Script everything just flawless,Freddie & Emma are just amazing, Emma probably gave her best, So the movie gets your attention right when it starts and keep your attention till last scene, There are ups & downs, When I saw Freddie in Finding Neverland, I knew this child is not ordinary, He proved it in this movie,Emma Roberts is not only pretty, She is intelligent, Great actress,Last 30 minutes are amazing, So is the whole movie, You will never regret watching this.
