Purple Hearts (2022)
10/10
Predictable But Beautiful!
30 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
To start this review off I will say that yes the ending was predictable, along with a lot of what I knew would happen; Like them getting caught, realizing they've actually fallen in love over the course of the movie and having a happy ending after all is said and done.

However none of it caused me to dislike the movie or find it boring. I looked at it more in the eyes of a romance style film because I'm a romantic and I love happy endings. So for me personally, while certain events may have been predictable and I knew they were coming I still thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The storyline itself was solid and I liked it, nothing overly complicated or mind blowing but perfect for this little romance that is introduced to us via the film.

The acting was really great; I've seen Sofia Carson in a few other titles and I've always liked her performances. She is also really beautiful, though her acting skill is not reliant on her stunning looks and she is actually a very talented actress looks aside. She also has a wonderful voice and can really sing irl, this leads to some great songs being performed in the movie by her. The supporting cast was all great as well, with the only performance that I felt was slightly on the blander side being that of the actor playing Luke Morrow. It wasn't bad by any means but just a bit on the slightly blander side. He seems to only have like 3 different facial expressions which he swops between throughout the movie, except for a few spots when Sofia/Cassie seems to bring out a genuine smile/laugh from him.

Seeing movies like this really just reinforces the idea that someone special is out there for me, for everyone. All we hear about nowadays is the massive divorce rate and how most marriages fail. But seeing the happiness on a couples faces (At the end of the movie) really gives one hope. This movie doesn't have a massive budget or all star cast but it has its own unique charm and makes my heart go along with Luke and Cassie on their journey to find out they are each others special someone.

I will definitely be re-watching this movie later and if a sequel is ever made sign me up! I'll finish off my review by saying this movie gets a well deserved 10/10 from me but may not be everyone's cup of tea.
