That Movie Gay #2016

Spoiler Alert: Get your tissues ready for ME BEFORE YOU



From slaying it on Game of Thrones and carrying on with Dragons Emilia Clarke takes on a romantic lead and an extremely adorable one. Me Before You has been slated by the critics but when I sat down and got into this film I was completely drawn into the world of romance.

Look it's predictable there are some characters we have seen 100 times before but overall this movie is super sweet and Emilia Clarke is literally divine with her clothes on (and wacky as fuck clothes at that) and with brown hair in place of her wild blonde weave on Game of Thrones.

After this week's bloody Game of Thrones and seeing this in a packed cinema (largely women of all ages and all chatty, drinking multiple wines and smashing through the stale, cold popcorn) I entered the world of the movies. Leave reality at the door and fall in love with the story and these likeable (and not so likeable) characters.

Seeing an actor being as versatile as Clarke is refreshing in 2016. I love Melissa McCarthy but she is always the slightly larger zany bitch, I love Zac Efron's hairy chest but it's the same in every film. So well done Clarke. Also to Aussie Steve Peacocke your second cinema release in a few months. After a small role in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot this was a slightly larger role and more meaty role as a very handsome male nurse.

Sam Claflin as the male lead was also good, handsome in a white boy handsome way and yes the end is heartbreaking and he broke my heart too ladies.

I was expecting the worst entering this film, but ended up really liking it, 3 Stars.
