NOW IS GOOD

NOW IS GOOD IS 2012 BRITISH TEEN DRAMA DIRECTED AND WRITTEN BY OL PARKER AND STARS JEREMY IRVINE, DAKOTA FANNING, OLIVIA WILLIAMS, KAYA SCODELARIO, AND PADDY CONSIDINE. THE FILM CENTERS ON TESSA (FANNING), A GIRL WHO IS DYING OF LEUKAEMIA AND TRIES TO ENJOY HER REMAINING LIFE AS MUCH AS SHE POSSIBLY CAN. THE FILM MET WITH MIXED REVIEW FROM CRITICS.

         
  ALRIGHT, WHERE TO START....WHERE TO START? PERSONALLY, I FIND THE TITLE OF THE FILM QUITE COY, BUT AS PEOPLE SAY DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER SO THE TITLE DOESN'T REALLY AFFECT ANYTHING. I FIND THIS RATHER BORING OR INTERESTING AND DAKOTA FANNING'S ACCENT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT TO BE HONEST, SHE'S GOOD, I MEAN SHE'S ONE OF THE YOUNGEST TO EVER BE NOMINATED FOR SAG AWARD. FOR ME, THIS IS LIKE ANOTHER TEEN DRAMA, IT'S LIKE THE 2009 FILM MY SISTER'S KEEPER, IT'S THE SAME STORY BUT IF YOU WANT ME TO CHOOSE, MY SISTER'S KEEPER IS THE ONE. NOW IS GOOD HAS A VERY DECENT PERFORMANCES BUT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING 'NEW' AND 'FRESH' TO ITS PLOT. I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND WHY NO DISTRIBUTORS WANT TO PICK UP THIS FILM, IT COULD DO WELL IN AMERICA, I MEAN THE LEAD ROLE IS AMERICAN AND SHE'S BEEN DESCRIBED AS 'MINI MERYL STREEP' SO I ASSUME PEOPLE WOULD GO THE THEATRE TO SEE IT. IF YOU'RE AN EMOTIONAL PERSON, YOU MIGHT NEED TISSUES STANDING BY YOUR SIDE COS THIS MIGHT BE THE ONE FOR YOU, COS IT'S A WEEPIE BUT IT'S STILL AN ENTERTAINMENT AFTER ALL. PERSONALLY, I LOVE THIS FILM, I COULD TOTALLY RELATE TO THE CHARACTERS, AMAZING PERFORMANCES, IT'S JUST ASHAMED THAT THIS FILM IS OVERLOOKED, I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT'S AWARDS-WORTHY BUT IT IS DEFINITELY BOX OFFICE WORTHY. I RATE THIS FILM 8/10 OR POSITIVE REVIEW.
