This was an interesting premise and I was skeptical, but did find myself enjoying the film until it hit a real rough patch 3/4 of the way through. It's like the film had difficulty sticking the landing.
From the Ferris Beuller look-a-like, Mayor of Halloween with breakup pact origins to ...the most epic last date...this was a romantic's dream until it wasn't.
I didn't think I would like this film, but I did. The dialogue was great, the cinematography was really good and this romance between our two protagonists was so natural and organic...it really won me over!
Claire and Aiden meet at a Halloween party their senior year. Claire doesn't want a boyfriend, because her parents high school romance crashed and burned. Aiden comes up with a breakup pact that allows them to date up until they both go their separate ways to college...him to study to be a doctor and her to be a lawyer. The culmination of their relationship is supposed to be one epic date on the last day planned by Aiden. Claire's plan to go to college single...May run into a bump.
"Have a good breakup."
I know this is based on a book and I think I am inspired to read it...because my favorite part of the film was the dialogue!
The rough patch I can't really talk about, other than to say that their relationship wasn't perfect and Aiden wasn't perfect. There was a real hiccup trying to have resolution once the conflict was revealed. It left the films ending feeling rough and unfinished. For a film titled Hello, Goodbye and everything in between...they did not do a very good job with the goodbye.
This is a soft recommended for teen film fans who are romantic at heart.
