Simply A Masterpiece

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Blistering performances.

It'll always be difficult to picture Daniel Radcliffe outside of Hogwarts, but this was a great transitional film that lets his personality shine the way the more recent films don't.The film is well well written and cast -- peppered with well-timed humor about the insanity more commonly referred to as falling in love. Bravo Dowse, Matsai, Dawe and Rinaldi!The graphic art was lovely (no spoilers, but I'd actually really like to see more work by the artist). Zoe Kazan, whose work I only got to see in "I Hate Valentine's Day" (Vardalos) was the perfect counterpart for Radcliffe in this romcom.If you enjoy slightly sarcastic romcoms and haven't seen it, go ahead and Netflix it.

Set in Toronto, WHAT IF? centers on Wallace (Daniel Radcliffe) who develops a close friendship with Chantry (Zoe Kazan), yet finds himself unable to fall in love with her due to her long-term relationship with boyfriend Ben (Rafe Spall). Wallace and Chantry are thrown together a lot - especially when Ben takes a job in Dublin - and feelings develop between them. The rest, as they say, is history.Michael Dowse's production has some sharp dialogue, especially involving Wallace and his best friend Allan (Adam Driver). Likewise Chantry develops a close relationship with her sister Dalia (Megan Park): Dalia at one point attempts a one-night stand with Wallace, but Wallace proves too enduringly attached to Chantry.Daniel Radcliffe doesn't have to do much in the film, apart from adopting an endearingly hang-dog expression whenever circumstances conspire against him. Likewise Kazan has a limited range of facial expressions ranging from quizzical to slightly aggrieved. The stand- out characterization in the film is that of Driver, a tall, rangy young man with a taste for salty conversation who ends up "settling down" with Nicole (Mackenzie Davis).The film is way too long - we end up yearning for the predictable end to take place - but the Toronto locations are atmospheric. WHAT IF? is one of those films that passes the time but nothing else.

The story of two teens who meets and become lovers after many dates in witch they found out more things about each other. Even though the girl has a boyfriend this will not stop them to end up together.The movie was OK though is foreseeable even from the first 15 minutes. There are many romance film just like this one but unfortunately it's doesn't came with something new to this genre, the content is just filled and the best part is the ending or when the main characters kiss for the first time.Zoe Kazan is cute and a good choice to play the girl who you will end up falling in love. Daniel Radcliffe is adequate but still with an American actor would have help in the compatibility between the two, although we all used to him being the little wizard now he is more mature and manage to make a role of an adult.So the film is watchable, like I said nothing new here but for the fans of the romance and of the actors will be just fine.

"What if" is a very well written movie. It is a story about Wallace and Chantry, two young people who crossed each other's path, one night. Wallace who is coming out of his shell after being recently heart-broken becomes friends with Chantry who is actually with her long-time boyfriend Ben. As predictable as this might sound, Wallace and Chantry start liking each other & eventually develop feelings for each other. Sounds like a cliché, I know but trust me, you should totally give it a chance! It is such a charming and heart warming film packed with laughs and romance. Being stuck in a love triangle is portrayed from a mature point of view, while still keeping the romantic side of the movie. The cast of the movie was well chosen because everyone played their role so well. Kudos to Daniel Radcliffe for being so natural in his role. Watching this movie will make you realize how versatile of an actor Radcliffe can be. He truly has evolved and matured in his roles. This is not some famous character (Harry Potter) that he plays here. In this movie, we see him as some everyday-life normal guy who is having a bad time. Radcliffe is a great actor. Loved him in this movie! Hats off!
