[edit]Synopsis

Based on the bestselling manga (graphic novel) by Aya Nakahara, LOVE*COM THE MOVIE (short for Lovely Complex) centers on two high school students. Risa Koizumi is the tallest girl in class, and the last thing she wants is the humiliation of standing next to Atsushi Ôtani, the shortest guy. But fate and the whole school have other ideas, and the two find themselves cast as the unwilling stars of a bizarre romantic comedy duo. As their friendship blossoms, so do Risa's feelings toward Ôtani. LOVE*COM examines the often-complicated feelings and comedic moments of the experience of dating people of different heights. A girl, because of his short stature, previously rejected Ôtani and he thinks he looks peculiar with a taller girlfriend. Risa has the opposite problem, already tall and never finding a guy who is taller. These height complexes, and the romance that eventually ensues [ENSUES, not ensures] in spite of them, develop the Lovely Complex that this film is ultimately about.

    1-Why did i watched this : I already watched and liked the anime and i wanted to see the movie adaptation and how the charcters come alive.

    2-Storyline/Plot : Almost the same from the anime so it wasn't a new thing for me since i already knew it; the story of a tall girl and a short guy isn't a usual story and it was kind of cool seeing it all over again.

    3-Acting/Cast : Not too familiar with those leads, the acting was okay and i totally loved the lead actor.

    4-Music : It was kind of a normal music not so special no so lame.

    5-Rewatch value : Well, people who fallen for it hardly would defenetly rewatch, others would think of it as

    I did not like this movie, which surprised me since I'm a huge fan of the anime and manga. I found the humor cheesy and boring. I didn't feel the actors played the main characters as well as they could have. It just all felt very flat to me. I wanted to love this movie but in the end I just couldn't.
    I don't recommend it but if your a fan of the anime and manga your welcome to give it a shot and see how you like it.

    Happy Watching ^_^

    Hmm it's a nice movie, not really good but def not bad either. It's rather cheesy sometimes but still enjoyable but the girl is a little over the top, even for my standards (considering I don't usually mind the japanese/korean way of -over- acting). Otani acted well though and the ending was really nice. If you like the anime/manga you should of course watch it :)
