If I Stay


   Be prepared to cry. WARNING! Take your tissues.

   Last night I went to see this movie and I just couldn't stop crying or tearing up throughout the whole movie. The acting was superb. I felt like I was in the movie with them and feeling all of their pain. There were some parts that were a bit slow and that I wished I could have fast forward through, but you do have to have some build up to make other parts better I suppose. I myself had not read the book when I went to the movie, but now that I've seen it I want to read it. See what they really put into the movie and what was left behind in the book. 
   I haven't watched many movies with Chloe Grace Moretz (Mia) in them, but I have to say that she's really making a break through as an actress with this movie. She took every line she had and smacked it back in your face with so much emotion and power that it felt like you were in her place. 
   I don't remember watching Jamie Blackley (Adam) in anything before, and I have to say that I really didn't like him in this movie. I know he's character is meant to be somewhat standoffish, but it was like he couldn't embrace his role very well. I just couldn't grow to like him. The moment I liked him best was when he started to sing to Mia at the end. 
   I loved the parents. You could just tell how in love they were and how amazing they were. They were funny and sweet. 
 While watching this movie I was the only one in the theater so I fully balled. 
   The little boy who played Teddy did a wonderful job. Jakob Davies is such an adorable boy and he plays one very well. If you don't recognize him it's because he hasn't been in much yet. But he does play Pinocchio in Once Upon a Time. He's been in the show sense 2011
   I would have to give this movie 4 stars for being able to make me cry so much. I would recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. If was beautifully done and the music was amazing. The actors were marvelous. I would for sure go and see this movie again.   The music was half the reason I cried so much. Cello can be so sad. I hope you all go to see it.
