Like Crazy

Don't know if I'm the write person to be reviewing romantic films.

Drake Doremus's Like Crazy seems like a good one, with all the typical heartbreaking circumstances in place, presented in a harrowingly tranquil laid-back predictable manner, as a young couple falls in love but has trouble staying together because they live in different countries.

Marriage fails to solve their problems.

Long periods of separation lead to affairs.

There's nothing bizarre or distracting.

We're left wondering if the power of love will bring them back together in the end.

And it does and everyone's happy.

Hooray!

I liked the film's form. It's chill, non-judgemental, mature, flat and consistent.

But its content wasn't very surprising and lacked the distinct mesmerizing transitional scenes that could have differentiated it more prominently from typical tear jerking romances.

None of my tears were jerked.

Unlike the first time I watched Star Trek: Generations.
