First of all folks I need to apologize for being so late with this review. I call myself the man of the people and I can’t even get a review out on time. That’s on me. Won’t happen again. Also the IRS has contacted me telling me that my popcorn and Diet Coke are still taxed because they are not necessary business expenses. I told them to try watching a movie without the popcorn and the Diet Coke. Once you have them you’ll never go back. Really needed them for this movie because it was a tear jerker. If you’re wondering I did cry. With that being said let’s get to the review of the movie I saw this Tuesday, Five Feet Apart.

“Seventeen-year-old Stella spends most of her time in the hospital as a cystic fibrosis patient. Her life is full of routines, boundaries and self-control — all of which get put to the test when she meets Will, an impossibly charming teen who has the same illness. There’s an instant flirtation, though restrictions dictate that they must maintain a safe distance between them. As their connection intensifies, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace that attraction” – Wikipedia
Cast
Cole Sprouse is so back. Disney Channel is so back. 2007 is so back. I saw this cast and thought I was back in elementary school and rushing back to the TV after school to watch some Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Make no mistakes, however, as this movie is no sweet life. Pretty dark and heavy stuff throughout the whole movie, as the two main characters have a pretty big spark but are not allowed to touch each other due to their disease. Couple aspects I really liked were the actors. They obviously did their research and played the role of 17 year old kids with cystic fibrosis well, so the acting was phenomenal. The movie did a great job of capturing raw emotion. The storyline was strong, but I thought it was stretched a little long. There is medical jargon is thrown in and its hard to understand and keep up with it. Also there were numerous parts that didn’t need to be in the movie. There is one scene that when you watch it your jaw will drop in how awkward and unneeded you think it is at the time. But after reflecting on it last night it was absolutely needed. I thought the movie did a great job portraying what a life is like with this disease, and captured a love story with it. It’s very Fault in Our Stars like, in fact, it may be better. Good chance you’ll cry if you see this movie.
