Movie Title: MIDNIGHT SUN
Grade:
Rating
In a Nutshell: Typical
teen romance. It feels like a Steven
Green novel and movie.
Uplifting theme:
- “The
best part is having someone to share your adventures with.” – Katie (Bella Thorne)
Things I liked:
- Bella
Thorne is so pretty and has such a large fan base that she will have many
more years to come in movies. With
practice, her acting could eventually be very good.
- Patrick
Schwarzenegger is Bella Thorne’s love interest in the movies, but might be
less familiar to fans. He’s the
oldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. Nice heritage, eh? His acting is understated, but grows on
you throughout the movie.
- Quinn
Shephard makes a great best friend in the movie and it was nice to see
funny-man Rob Riggle in a little bit more of a serious role, although his
comedic charm was well used.
- I was
recently in Seattle, so it was fun to see some of the places where I went.
- The
relationship
Things I didn’t like:
- Have
you seen the movie “Forever”? Then
you have seen this movie.
- Super clichéd
dialogue.
- You
hear the word “lame” a lot, because it’s a teenager movie, after all. Lame.
Interesting lines:
- “I’ve
wanted my whole life to feel.” – Katie
- “There
are so many things I want to do.” – Katie
- “I want
to be something more than a disease.” – Katie
- “We’re
talking about a disease that affects one in a million people.” – female doctor (Suleka Mathew)
“We’re in luck, because she IS one
in a million.” – Jack
- I
loved it when the dad is taking a picture of them and tells them, “A
little room for the Holy Ghost.”
Tips for
parents:
- You learn about Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), a severe
sensitivity to sun. It’s a real
disease, but is showed a bit inaccurately in the movie, although sleeping
all day and staying up all night IS pretty common among most
teenagers.
- You
see them in their underwear.
- Dishonesty
- Some
profanity.
