The Age Of Adeline - Tuesday 8th October 2024

The first time I saw Blake Lively was in the Green Lantern movie, and I have to say, her beauty sizzled.

So when I finally got around to watching this movie, she was the main draw; and in that respect, the film delivers. Blake Lively, and especially her wardrobe and fashion in the movie, are a visual treat.
The film in general, however, was only “okay”. The love story seemed forced and superficial.

Harrison Ford steals the film, and his character’s love story was far more convincing.
The romantic lead had no charisma, and his charm was simply that he was rich and wouldn't take no for an answer. Surely Adeline would learn to judge people by more than their wealth and outward appearance? Or maybe not. The rich guy ALWAYS gets the girl, and if he’s handsome too? He gets ALL the girls.
With a few tweaks of added realism, this film could have been good; but much like the lead actors, it only has a superficial beauty.
