You can wait to watch this one. For forever.
Released: 2010
Genre(s): Romance, Drama
"Waiting for Forever" is an outrageous romantic movie - not outrageous because it's hilarious or so wonderful that it takes your breath away, but outrageous because of how unbelievably oblivious it is to the real world. Will, the main character, while generally quirky and carefree in nature, actually comes off as more of a creepy, obsessive type with severe mental issues. There are a handful of genuinely endearing moments here, but most of the emotional reactions to Will's erratic behavior come off as completely wooden. The movie's subplots attempt to present some deeper emotional issues behind the characters, but are so paper-thin and contrived that the end results feel rushed and unnatural - any growth by the characters is so minuscule that it's incredibly difficult to even notice (or care about, for that matter). Weak characters, weak storylines, and unrealistic reactions make this one fall flat.
Rating (out of 5): 1.5
