    Romantic Classic
    Zac Efron always brings a stellar performance in every movie he does. This was the same exception.

    The plot of this movie makes you want to see it through till the end. It's a sort of cliff hanger up until the end the solution of the plot. But then there is another plot added to the movie in the second half of the film.

    The storytelling was super creative in this one and I enjoyed watching every second of it.
