Waiting for Forever (2010)

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this movie. The acting, plot , characters everything was just perfect. Tom makes Willie seem so real and lovable, Rachel is just perfect. I cried and cried and my heart was all warm inside because me and my fiancée met when we were kids and I moved away and so I could relate so much to this movie. I do not know why it was not promoted that much, I only found out about it accidentally. Modern Day Notebook and Titanic wrapped in one with a ribbon on it.Some people say love like this is only in the movies but I disagree, I think love like this does exist but what the movie does is expose it in its full glory. No one in the real world would admit to stalking their crush but that doesn't mean people do not do it. The fight in the bath between Emma's parents made me breakdown. 11/10.

This movie was so horrible i couldn't help but watch it in its entirety. A story about two childhood friends who later in life reunite. One a Hollywood actress and the other an unemployed juggler who lives life on a whim. What seemed to be a novel idea and two characters destined for romance had some how gotten lost along the way. Its as if someone took a perfectly good script and removed all of the wind from its sails. The actors themselves looked lost in this one and the characters all lacked identify. The lead actor appears to be suffering from extreme psychosis and you wonder all along when the intervention is going to happen. How this film is dubbed romantic is news to me. To me, this was a film on based on the human psyche and how those with deeply rooted, traumatic, and emotional pasts socially interact with others. They struggle to find themselves any sort of help and never really gain a full grasp on reality. I wish the film taken to the cutting room floor, because I think it could have been salvaged. On a final note, the character Rachel Bilson's father in the film seemed unexplained. Heh says he's dying all along the way with his family convinced he's fine. I've seen this before in a production called "the room" a cult classic best known for how horrible and explained the movie was. Rachel Bilson's character is only shining light in this movie and deserves a second chance after this one.

Waiting For Forever is a cute, quirky movie with a lot of heart. It does a great job at making you feel happy, with its high contrast lighting and fun soundtrack. The cast does a great job at pulling you in, especially Tom Sturridge. He does a wonderful job portraying the carefree traveling street performer, but also brings on the strong emotion when it's needed. The use of flashbacks and the way Tom's character describes his young love really have you rooting for their love to blossom once again. The story gets a little confusing and slow towards the middle but the strong beginning and ending definitely make up for it.

We saw this on Netflix streaming movies.Rachel Bilson is Emma Twist, from Pennsylvania. When she grew up she moved to Los Angeles and became a TV star. She is dating her co-star, and figures they will get married, but she doesn't seem totally devoted to him. And he isn't a very nice guy. As a kid growing up Emma had a best friend, maybe even boyfriend, until they parted when they were 10. But the boy lost his parents in a tragic train wreck, and he was haunted by their presence, often turning aside and talking to them. As a young adult this boy is played by Brit Tom Sturridge as Will Donner. Unknown to Emma, Will has been moving to every place that Emma has lived, to be close to her, although he never was even bold enough to disclose his presence. His brother, a banker, thinks Will is "Effing crazy."Most of the story here is back home in Pennsylvania. Will works up the courage to tell Emma hello on the sidewalk by her home, she thinks by coincidence, but it was part of his "stalking." She isn't pleased when she learns the whole story, but movies of this sort have a way of working out.We enjoyed it.SPOILERS: Will is a funny, spontaneous guy. He is also a juggler. He has been working as a street entertainer, with face paint, in the various cities where Emma has lived, that is why she never recognized him. In the end Emma was able to show Will why his stalking was not right, but after he moved away to San Francisco and sent her a letter, she realized what he had hoped all along, they were soul mates, and she looked him up.
