the most entertaining part of this bland experience was the girl behind me farting during the silent climactic scene in a nearly packed theater.

i obviously wasn't expecting this to be a cinematic masterpiece or anything but i think what makes me mad about this is they literally got rid of/altered 70% of the content of the novel for no apparent reason and dumbed it down SO much to the point where it just became dumb…

The book? Shockingly perfect, every character interconnected and impactful. The movie? Shockingly good chemistry and moments that made me feel like I needed to scream. Yeah it’a stupidly cheesy but it’s a rom com!! Enjoy the cheese!
val lovedThe Sun Is Also a Starthe book will always be better than the movie, but this did not disappoint. everyone is talking about how rushed and cringy it was but personally i think y’all are taking this story too seriously 💀

I love & adore the book & the movie equally. Yes there are some changes, it's not that big of a deal at all. I think the movie & the book were both amazing, I've watched & read it ten times, & I'm about to read it again!!
Pluto lovedThe Sun Is Also a StarLovely
Amazing world of Warda lovedThe Sun Is Also a StarI give this an eight out of ten. The songs weren't that good and some parts were a bit too cringey. BUT THE STORY WAS SO CUTE. OMG THIS STORY WAS SO GOOD I LOVED THE PLOT AND HOW EVERYTHING HAPPENED. so good and in addition I thought the guy was really fine. Second watch: I take back what I said…

I read the book and can confidently say i love the movie just the same. It was one thing to read about their chemistry but to see it was amazing. I loved the soundtrack as well, and this movie hits even harder now with all the ICE drama happening. 10/10
Julian Schwartz dislikedThe Sun Is Also a StarI watched this on an airplane because there’s nothing else to watch and that’s what this movie felt like: the movie that you watch when there’s nothing else to watch. Overall, just an amalgam of bad writing, acting, and directing! Don’t want this
Britain McCubbin is "meh" onThe Sun Is Also a StarI think this movie struggles with the genre that it’s placed in. This meet cute aspect feels a bit unbelievable and feels like a contradicts the underlying important message about citizenship

The book was great but this did not translate well on the screen. They changed some key scenes in my opinion. Also found the soundtrack lacking.
VNVanessa T Noriega RA chill movie, easy to watch :)
VVVanessa Villaif you read the book...you might not quite like the movie version. it's a good movie just not a good book adaptation.

I loved it. I don't normally watch romantic films but I wanted to support Nicola Yoon's second book turned to film. It was nice to see the guy so into the girl
VVVictor Valle-LeonIt was an exquisite movie, critics would give it a people’s choice because it involves all emotion at the exact point and time
MNMarlon NeddYara Shahidi carries this movie. Charles Melton(her co star) needed to up his game to that of yara but fell short. Also, why have 2 actors play Jamaican but have bad accents ( just cast Jamaicans instead)
- MRMichelle Russell
It was a good clean movie
GGGerard GarroI wish I would have waited to see it on Netflix so I could have turned it off ten mins into the movie!😒😒

While time is likely on the side of its leads, their chemistry only goes so far in what feels, finally, like a half-baked movie.

The story and its trappings feel a little generic, the dialogue studiously bland and the characters and their problems curiously weightless, in spite of gestures in the direction of real-world issues.

Director Russo-Young, whose roots are in independent film, has brought a bit of a welcome indie sensibility to the proceedings.
