This felt a bit too manipulative to be enjoyable. Chloe Grace Moretz gave an incredible performance, but it wasn't enough to save the film from its shortcomings. I enjoyed some of the editing technique, especially some montage work and flashbacks. It really had a life-flashing-before-your-eyes feel. Walking out of the theater I couldn't help but think about how unsuccessful this movie was compared to The Fault in Our Stars, which is another recent teen-tearjerker, but one that is built on a more solid foundation.

2.5 Stars (out of 5)
