Too many reviews where the library didn't do SPOILER ALERT, including their own synopsis of the story. It seems to be based on a YA novel. However, I thought the acting was really good - particularly the female lead - and the story,…

Stayed true to the movie

The acting, editing, photography was good. However, I didn't like the movie that much. Her regaining consciousness was conditional into getting into Juliard School of music. That is my opinion. Differ if you wish. The ending was too…

If I Stay was directed by RJ Cutler, and based off a book with the same name by Gayle Forman. It's a heart wrenching story of a young girl named Mia who follows her comatose self as she recovers from a car crash, while all her family dies…

I did not read the book, but I can see why this is the kind of movie that is more enjoyable without knowing much about the story line beforehand. The jumping back-and-forth in time line is actually okay, but it does require the audience…

The acting wasn't horrible, but I just couldn't get into the story I believe it to be focused towards a more teenage audience.

The movie did a good job of portraying the characters and following the book but it was a little confusing at times.

I found near the middle of the movie I got bored. There were a couple of scenes that were nice (e.g. the bonfire scene with the family and the ceiling scene). For me, the book had more impact.

The acting and structure of this film were just ok, but it packs a series of powerful emotional punches. The ending came sooner than I expected so the decision behind the title was actually not as difficult as it could have been.

I really wasn't all that impressed by the movie, especially after having read the book.

Not worth it.

A decent film with a good lead actress which raises some interesting questions. For me as a parent it helped me to think about some things in regards to my children who will soon be facing the same challenges - save for the BIG one -…

Shallow and predictable. Glad I didn't pay $$$ to see it in a theater!

I kept fast-forwarding to get to the good part, but found that there wasn't any. This is about as bad as it gets. Absolutely Hooooorible!!!!

I was very disappointed in the movie. I read the book first and then watched the movie. The movie changed a few big things that happened in the book. If you read the book first you will more than likely be disappointed in the movie.

I haven't read the book yet, but I quite enjoyed the movie. I really liked the story and I thought the acting was great. Now I want to read the book!

The movie was average in comparison to the novel. I found it lacked the emotion that you felt in the novel. But if you're a teenage girl, I'm sure you'll love the movie.

The story is not exactly to my particular liking, but the actors were all good. Chloe Moretz is great. The entire cast is great; everyone is very natural. It's a fast paced movie. Tragic story, but probably worth the watch for the acting.…

I was very disappointed with this movie. Maybe if I hadn't read the book first and absolutely loved it I would have liked the movie better. The relationship between Mia and Adam just wasn't the same. It felt like they really had no…
