Liked. But did not love.
Good:
- Oh the romance.
- Oh the feel-good-ness of it all. The Bollywood dance at the end (the intercutting of them alone, them with crowd, and them as young) was so smile-inducing. Everyone in the theater seemed so happy on the way out.
Bad:
- The framing technique got old. FAST. They should have ended it about 15 minutes earlier because the movie got SO much better once the stories all came together.
- So, so, so, SO predictable. You could spot that ending a mile away.
And frankly that last one is what killed it for me. Movies this predictable should not be given awards, if you ask me. Or if they are, with a “*100% predictable” tacked on the end.
Worth seeing, sure. But the Oscar? Eh. Milk should have won. That was predictable only in that IT WAS FROM A TRUE STORY.
(For pete’s sake (who’s pete), Iron Man was less predictable than this!!!!)
