Story: Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of color. And neither of them knows they're going to change each other for all time.

Likes : WOW this film is seriously hard to hold back the tears , just the way this film is written & the way the story flows although sometimes forced with certain romantic moments the story as a whole is brilliant & heart breakingly warm.

This film just show's how the beautiful Emily Clarke is an absolutely amazing actress playing Clarke's Lou,  someone with a carefree , bundle of joy person that just loves life to the full with a qurkie way which is cute someone you would love to be with , the way she come across in film is brilliant for the concept of the film.

Sam Claflin is kind of funny in parts playing a quadriplegic near real-life prince, who enlisted the service of Clarke's caregiver character who at first act like a jerk but warm up to her, their on screen chemistry really add the emotion content that really does bring you to tears.

Just the way this film flow at a steady pace even those it a little predictable but the story line hides this so well with a hopeless romantic feel it become a fun enjoyable film of friendship to a romantic moment film to a tear jerking one. I can honest say ive never cried this much from a film since fault in our stars , yes im not normal one for these types of film but it good to watch a film & let all you emotion go. This one film that really does that well , if you looking for a great fun romantic film this is one i can recommend watching.

Dislikes : The biggest flaw of this film is how it seemed written to be manipulate , not to say it isn't effective, because in fact it often works in certain scene, but you would still think, and wonder, how more beautiful it would have be made if it had been written with a pure authenticity natural feeling.

Overall : Great romantic film , perfect performances , emotional tear jerker movie so bring tissues.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for romantic concept.
