   I love what you did with the title of this film Mia, it was very creative and very intriguing. My friends call me Rosie and I thought it was pretty silly what you did with it. It was a very fun and outgoing little poem review! Love it!
2. Nicole Renga 03.24.15 / 11am

   I love what you did here with the title. It’s such a creative approach and great attention getter. I think you really hit all the high points when describing the film in such few words. It sounds like an amazing romantic film, I hope I get the chance to watch it in my spare time!

   I really love what you did there! I love romantic comedies so I think it is super funny and cute that this is the way you chose to review it. It is to the point and from what I see here I am sure I would also be a fan of this movie!

   Mia,
   I love your creative take on this film review. I do not believe I have come across such a short, yet informative and intricate review as yours. As you mentioned, this film appears to be a romantic comedy full of fun and genuine love between the main characters. With these simple words of excitement and description, it makes me want to see this film as much as you want to see it again! I also notice that you viewed this film at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, that is really neat! I wonder if this film was made in Germany/UK and if it is also available to watch in multiple languages? Anyways, great review and I will definitely make time to see this romantic comedy.

   I love how you did this film review. How creative! It is visually appealing and short and simple; to the point. Some reviews are paragraphs and paragraphs which can be boring but this review the the perfect length and makes me want to see this movie.

   I enjoy the way described this film even though it was summed up in a short little poem. The way you described each letter is really all you need when viewing the title of this film, as they were straight-forward and easy to understand. This film is put out to be romantic, and a very strong love between the two main characters. This film appears to be love at first sight, which then leads to the future, which I find cool. Both of these characters seem to put off a good role of their characters and make’s me think this film will be a good one to watch. Thanks for a good review Mia and will try and make some time to see this little love film.

   Hello Mia, I loved what you did with the title. I think that this is such a great way to depict the meaning of this film. I liked your “short but sweet” review because it allowed me to understand the meaning of the film without reading to much. Personally, I have never seen a film review done in this manner, and it was really intriguing and interesting. I love romantic movies, and based on the review I think that I will really enjoy this film. Based on your review, I think that I will really enjoy this movie and I cant wait to watch it!

   i like how you brought out themes of the movie and describe the over all concept with out revealing any scenes or plot in particular to not give anything way. your review made the movie that much more intriguing to watch.
9. Steven Risch 04.22.15 / 4pm

   Dear Mia,
   I thought the way you wrote your review was very unique and creative, but it still left me with a lot of unanswered questions. I have absolutely no idea what this film is about, what type of audience it is trying to target, etc. I realize that it is a romantic comedy and that you recommend it to others, but I believe that just isn’t enough for me to watch this film. I feel like I have to go onto IMDB to get a better understand of what this film is really about. Don’t get me wrong, your review is short, creative, and different. This is what I look for when I read reviews because I personally don’t like extensive reviews, but I feel like you were just lacking information that is important to your readers.
10. JakeDePass 04.23.15 / 10am

    Mia, I have read one of your other reviews and I like that you switched it up and went with the acronym style. It was short and too the point which is nice, but I almost wish it was just a tad longer as to describe the reason why you would want to see the movie again. I am not sure if I want to see this movie, but I might be swayed on way or the other if there was a little more information. Overall creative though, and good job conveying a message with a small amount of words.
11. Hailey Yarrington 06.04.15 / 6pm

    I just recently watched this movie, and it was absolutely outstanding. It made me laugh, yell and tear up. I love the style that you went about to create your review, but I kind of wish you conveyed more to your readers the depth of this movie. While it is a good thing not too much was given away, it would have been interesting to hear your take on how this film made you feel. For me, this film made me reflect on the essence of time. Without giving too much away, this film really makes you think about your decisions and the people in your life. That is what is beautiful about this film; it is art that makes its audience think. Again, I enjoy your stylistic choice for the review, and I, too, highly recommend this film.
12. Keri Parsons 06.06.15 / 3pm

    I really enjoyed how you made the title a part of your review. Your clever and poetic style really grabbed my attention and made me focus more on what you were saying. I also really loved how you incorporated descriptions of specific parts of the film. You mentioned a school dance and multiple embarrassing moments. Although I found some parts of your review to be unclear and non-specific to the film, you put in just enough information that gives the reader a glimpse of what the movie is about and what it includes without giving away every detail and interesting moments of the film. We’re studying some of the older romantic comedies like His Girl Friday in the Film class I’m taking, and I’m enjoying this genre. I wonder if there is a musical score in the film, like in Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation and if there’s a happy ending, like in Top Hat. After reading over your review, I think I may just rent this film and see what becomes of Rosie and her star-crossed love interest.
13. Rachel Donovan 06.06.15 / 8pm

    I thought that this was such a cute film! It definitely took me by surprise, but it ended up being very entertaining and heartwarming. I was very surprised on how much I enjoyed the acting between the two main characters and the type of chemistry they were able to portray and make the audience believe. There was a huge range of emotions that followed me as I watched “Love, Rosie” and I absolutely love how you described the film even in such few words! There was a great reflecting and peak into the film in your writing in this creative piece.
14. Rieanne Thomas 06.06.15 / 10pm

    Hello Mia! I love how you simply summarized the film by using the title. You did a great job of covering the main parts of the film without revealing too much. I really enjoyed this film and thought it was a great romantic comedy, I’m a sucker for them! I thought it was cute when Alex and Rosie followed Katie to the rooftop and realized the same exact thing happened to them when they were younger. I loved the fact that Alex and Rosie knew each other their whole lives. The only parts that really upset me was that they didn’t end up going to prom together and when Rosie needed Alex the most he was all caught up with his girlfriend. Overall, I thought this was an amazing film and would definitely recommend it to others.
15. Daniel Barrington 06.06.15 / 11pm

    Mia, this incredibly succinct review is one of the most creative I have ever read. You seem to have put across the plot points of the film and a few personal opinions, however there is a distinct lack of explanation and as such, it leaves readers at a loss for a real feel of the film. Structuring the film as a line poem is all well and good if you can also provide the audience with a sense of understanding in the tone of the film being reviewed. While these things may be improved upon, I did love the creativity and the way in which you show your reverence of the film in your writing.
16. Andrea Baltodano 06.16.15 / 4pm

    Wow Mia,

    I clicked on this review expecting something very similar to what I have previously read. However, you were very creative with your review and it was out of the ordinary. I am not a huge fan of romantic comedies, and I did not get a a good understanding of what the film was about, or about the actual plot. It does seem like all the other romantic comedies, so I would like to know what makes this film different.
17. connorrisch 06.26.15 / 8pm

    I really enjoy the way you structured your film review. It was nice and simple, yet I got a good understanding of what the film would be like. I sometimes enjoy romantic comedies, and your review has made me want to watch this film!
18. Juliette Alliaume. 07.18.15 / 10am

    Definitely a creative review, nicely done. Love, Rosie is a cute, but typical romance of a girl who has it all relatively together then life comes along. Although these movie are frustrating at times I like to look at the truth they hold of how life can really nip us in the butt when times are good. But when that does occur we need to keep marching on because life wouldn’t be so amazing if it wasn’t a roller coaster.
19. caylaoverly 03.10.17 / 3pm

    I think that what you did with the movie title was very intriguing. I watched this movie recently and can connect your acronyms to this romantic film. Rosie plays a young girl who becomes pregnant from her school dance date right before she graduates. Her best guy friend and her have had sexual tension throughout their entire friendship but there are many obstacles throughout the film that prevent them from disclosing their feelings to one another. However, at the end of the film they end up together. This is your classic teenage romantic movie. Lily Collins does an excellent job depicting a naive girl who is desperately looking to find love in all the wrong places but eventually finds out it was “right in front of her”.
20. Rebecca Corbaz 06.09.17 / 7pm

    Hi Mia,

    I just scrolled by your post and ended up staying there. The reason why is because the title. I love what you did with it, it’s so creative and different than other reviews I’ve seen so far. I saw this movie a while ago and couldn’t remember every single detail, but when I started to read what you said everything came back to me. It really impresses me how you could summaries this movie with so less words. But you did it perfectly, there wasn’t something else I could have said about it. And again I love that you summarized the movie combined with the title.
21. Annina Graefin zu Eltz 07.15.17 / 8am

    Hi, I stumbled over your post and I really liked it! It is short and simple, but explains the movie in just a few words. I think I’ve watched “Love Rosie” at least five times just because I love the story and the actors behind it. in my opinion, Lilly Collins and Sam Claflin are exceptional artists that make their characters seem so alive and fascinating in all their movies. I fell in love with Alex, Rosie and their friendship and their bond to each other. They truly are perfect for each other and the movie proves once again that when something is meant to be, it will happen. Nevertheless I have to say I got pretty nervous the first time I’ve watched it just because I wanted them to finally find back to each other :)
22. Angel Lagunas 03.14.21 / 1pm

    Hello Mia, let me just say that this has to be my favorite romantic comedy movie of all time and I’m so glad you did a review on it. I really liked how you structured your post. Its creative and it really sums up the movie well. I think everything they did in this movie was great and I liked how they used the act structure where they had the first turning point, the second turning point, and the resolution. It shows how these characters are trying to achieve one goal and that is to be happy for each other and to be together in the end. It really takes into reality how these things actually happen because life doesn’t work out how we always want it to. Timing is everything and in this case for Alex and Rosie, they’re timing was always bad. But in the end it worked out!
