I was excitedly waiting for this movie as I am interested to its trailer. I set a high expectation for this movie because lot of people also said the book is so good, so I think the movie will be too (I didn't read the book), but I was wrong.
Everything happened so fast in the movie, especially in the beginning of it and it happened all of sudden without any clear explanation or profound storytelling. In the middle part of the movie, we could see it mainly just Ann and her's mixed feelings, which I thought why don't you explain more how they could meet and fall in love from the beginning until the middle of this movie. Even better, make it a sequel so that everything is clear. Through the end, I personally feel the trigger for the main conflict to happen just not that strong, the reason is pretty simple. Can you guess? Yes the birthday things, Geez couldn't make it and you could be sad but that's it, why would you ended it? What bothered me the most is the fact she wrote that the relationship is only one sided. Another thing is the fact that Ann is the one that makes this couple come into their situation, which also because of Geez's mom, but at the end as we all can see, when Geez want to clarify everything and ended things nicely, Ann was mad and she ran away and crying. What a cliche.
Then the movie end.
I also think that Ann and Bayu relationship makes more sense, even though we're not shown how they could grow and fall in love, but we know they're knowing each other for years. Plus, Ann has a lot of friends, but none of them have enough portions to be portrayed, I barely remember their name since they just slightly come and go and that's it.
Conclusion, it's a waste of time. My thought initially: yeay finally Indonesian's fresh romance movie~ but no it's just basic and cliche.
