Audience Reviews

Catherine R There's so much to say about this film. One, I didn't know this was Reese Witherspoons first film ever. Hats to a hell of a performance. Made ball like a baby.Two, even though Court was 17 and Dani was 14, I love how Court was very much aware of that but he was still, genuinely willing, to be her friend. Three, it amazes how the phrase, "love at first sight" can look so real on tv. Like when Court and Maureen first locked eyes, it was like watching the stars aline and it was basically, modernly speaking, game over, this is it. Like as an audience member, you can tell that they were gona be together. Four, I especially love that, Maureen tries to resist the handsome fella first. Just because she knew her sister liked him first. Like I love that she didn't just immediately go for it. She fought the urge, tried to tell Court if her loyalty to her Dani and Court was explaining, very gently, that he did love Dani but in a different way. To him, she was just a very special kid and he was happy to again, be her friend. But also that he felt a very very different kind of love for Maureen. Since they were the same age, it makes sense that he'd fall for her way faster. But I hate that he died alittle after. It was like the movie was saying, that if you sleep with someone as a teenager, you tragically die. Like, I know it was an accident and he was trying to reach for his hat bit good lord, did he have to die??? I also love and appreciate the father daughter relationship going on in the film. Like despite Matt pull out his belt to Dani, they were still close. Again. This makes me wish I had an older sister growing up. Thankfully some older girls at my church made me feel special. I don't they realized how special. But they did. So that's my reason for the 5 stars. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review doop t I stumbled upon this movie last month from one of those movie clip videos on tiktok (ifykyk) and honestly I loved it, its my favourite movie now it genuinely made me cry. I think the target audience is for teens, I'm fourteen and I enjoyed it a lot. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/24 Full Review Lashaya R i’m not gonna say Court deserved it but like… he was lowkey a two timing whore. Other than that though, it’s a pretty good movie. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Veronica V lowkey good movie, but Dani needs justice because her 304 sister took her man knowing that she liked him and still continued to get with court , and I know its not just the sisters fault its also his , but she how much she really liked him, and then after court died she had the audacity to ask Dani for forgiveness, and guess what she forgave her like.. that's lowkey unrealistic, or maybe its not unrealistic IDK all i know is if my sister took my first love I wouldn't speak to her ever again. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Angelina D I saw a clip online and was drawn to it almost immediately. The true story behind, "first love" at a young age, the attachment and emotions are indescribable. The character "Dani" 's love for "court's was pure, young love. Court was just too old for her, and the fall out of their relationship with danis older sister Maureen was, almost lust and mature love. Truly a good awe and cry movie. Beautiful story line. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review mojo s i loved how simple the movie was build up and how real the emotions felt. i'm glad that i stumbled across this masterpiece!! a must watch in my opinion Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
