Just watched a 10:20 showing of this. Theater was completely packed.  At certain points in the movie, you could hear the whole theater crying. I should've brought klenex to sell.

For what it's worth my sister saw it for her 15th birthday and she gave it "9.9/10"

 

Her favourite movie of the year so far, but then I asked what the next few were...

"well this obviously, and then Mother's Day, and then the Boss, and then maybe Jungle Book... no wait Allegiant then zootopia then jungle book". So take that for what you will

[UrosepsisFace]

I'd say it's similar to Japan's "One Liter of Tears", except funnier...and not as sad. The Mother of Dragons and Father of Lions were both awesome in it!

Nice to see a low-budget film on pace for $50 million+ DOM. Summer 2016 needs some of these smaller success stories with Alice 2 bombing hard, TMNT 2 disappointing big time, X-Men going under expectations and Neighbors 2/Civil War/Angry Birds having pretty terrible legs.

Looks like Clarke might have a film career after all.

At my local multiplex, this movie is selling out 15 shows this weekend....

[Kalo]

I think this movie looks cute and I want to see it, not playing at my theater though. Sewer Turtles is...

I saw this yesterday in a theater full of people crying hysterically. Some crazy lady was like the one at the end of this video:

 

 

@angeldelmito will love this.

Well, so long as she stays away from playing Sarah Connors.

[Arlborn]

That's a lot of crying being reported here.

Pretty much. This movie is a chick flick lover's dream (though it is actually an above-average entry into that genre).

Well... Here's the director responding to the controversy (spoilers, obviously). Basically, she says it's a bestseller and they couldn't possibly change the ending without it seeming like a copout and annoying the book fans, and there was never this much backlash from the book, etc. True, because I had no idea, I just saw the trailers with Emilia Clarke brightening up Finick's life in a bunch of bright, pretty dresses, and then, I stumbled upon a review this morning that totally spoiled the plot in the headline (normally I'd be pissed but I'm kind of glad for the head's up). People taking issue with the story are using the hashtag

Spoiler

#MeBeforeEuthanasia. Everyone has their own feelings but the whole thing feels so retro, like an acceptable sentiment 10, 20, 30 years ago,

I can't believe the story was just written in 2012 and became a thing.

I'd rather be dead than crippled. I think that's a choice for the individual faced with that situation to make.

The movie doesn't take any kind of stance on the "moral" aspect of the whole thing. We just accept that Claflin's character decides that he would rather die with dignity than live the rest of his life as a shell of his former self.

Seeing this tonight.

[Blankments]

Final predict:

 

DOM: 49M

I didn't really like this. I was nowhere close to crying either.

 

The awful performance from the lead female is what stopped me from investing emotionally. She was like a cartoon character. Very theatre/stage like performance, over the top with cheesy delivery.
