Love, Rosie (Blu-ray Review)

March 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Sam Claflin, Lily Collins, Christian Cooke, Jaime Winstone
Director: Christian Ditter
Running Time: 102 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: March 3rd 2015

It’s interesting to see sometimes how different critic and audience reactions can be. Love, Rosie currently has a very good 7.4/10 rating on IMDB from audience votes, but an abysmal 21% on RottenTomatoes from critics.

When you watch the film you can understand the disparity. If you’re a movie aficionado the whole thing is rather tedious – it’s by-the-numbers  to the point of feeling like it was just spewed out of a machine. The characters we’ve seen 10,000 times before and while the idea of exploring whether people who’ve been friends since childhood can become a successful adult couple has potential, it’s handled in a way that’s doesn’t have a vaguely original idea. All that is anathema to critics but many audience members like it – after all it’s why places like McDonald’s are so successful, you know exactly what you’re going to get and there’s comfort in that, even if gourmands may hate it.

Sam Claflin & Lily Collins Will Love Rosie

February 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sam Claflin
Last year Sam Claflin appeared in Snow White And The Huntman, while Lily Collins was in rival fairy tale movie Mirror Mirror. However working on competing Snow White tales hasn’t made them enemies as Deadline reports that they’re teaming up for the romantic comedy, Love Rosie.

The film is based on a novel by Cecila Aherne (P.S. I Love You), which has been known as Where Rainbows End, Rosie Dunne, or Love, Rosie. Collins and Claflin will be Rosie and Alex, two Irish best friends who plan to move to the US together for college. However, Rosie gets pregnant after a wild fling with a popular schoolmate, which leads to the duo taking very different paths. They never lose touch thanks to lively e-mails, notes and letters.

Juliette Towhidi (Calendar Girls) is on screenplay duty, with German director Christian Ditter set to make his English-language debut with the movie. Shooting will start in May.
