It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

An honest try at portraying the struggle for relationship across generational lines. A lighthearted look at the downsides of being super smart. Supergeeks need love! While the performances are solid, it is hard to imagine the 'plot,' i.e., (spoiler, please read no further if you are spoiler averse) a faculty liaison with a sixteen year old. Jeez! Pretty Little Liars was more than enough in that vein. More to the point, how could someone this geeky get this much action with no awkwardness at all? I am a huge fan of both Gabriel Byrne and Nathan Lane but there were moments when I felt they were phoning it in, although phoning it in for these two remains excellent.A feel good movie with a lot to say about how confusing love is, but, oh, how necessary.

A better film than I thought. What I thought was seeing how it was received. It was based on the book of the same name, directed by a newcomer. A coming-of-age film, about a 19 year old smart girl, but struggling in the real world since finished her education. Particularly, she's having a trouble with her father in communicating. Not that she's incapable of blend in with the rest of the world, but she's preoccupied with what she's interested in. Now her therapist hints to make a list to accomplish things than the dull life according to him she's presently living on. During her attempt, what are all things she go through was told in the remaining narration.Bel Powley was brilliant in the title role. It was more like a sequel to her previous film 'The Diary of a Teenage Girl'. Like it was the next stage of her story. Between adulthood and teenhood, at the edge of teenage. Apart from her, the rest of the cast was decent. I usually like this kind of films, but they are all same. Developed from the basic storyline that we are very familiar with. In that perspective, this is not an impressive film, especially if you have seen plenty. Even though not bad for watching it once. Since the characters, cast and settings differ, besides the presentation was good, it surely a nice film to watch alone in a lazy weekend. Probably under- appreciated, but definitely an under- noticed film of the year.7/10

This film tells a story of an nineteen year old Harvard graduate, who is cynical and insecure about herself. She isolates from the world and is angry about everything, until her psychiatrist asks her to go and do a list of things that hopes to transform her."Carrie Pilby" is a portrayal of an interesting character that is different from the usual girl next door. She is intelligent, pretty but highly guarded from the outside world. The story is about her trying to make sense of the world around her, which is not complicated to most people but unfathomable to her. It is satisfying to see her change and develop in just over a week. It is a sweet little romantic comedy to kill time with.

A supposedly bright girl from London with the usual mix of teenage relationship issues struggles to come to terms with the complexities of adulthood. This is a harmless, somewhat saccharine movie that has been done before, and better - you have to suspend your belief that the lead actress is exceptionally bright, academically at least, and just accept that it will pass a couple of hours on a rainy evening as a harmless, uninspiring romcom. Not a disaster by any means, but lower your expectations I reckon.
