It is an unimaginative copy of all the popular films in the genre with not one unique quality to it.

The dialogue is boring, and there are so many cheesy chipmunk smiles exchanged that I often felt like I was watching a gum commercial.

Under the limp direction of Scott Speer, Midnight Sun suffocates its sentimental script, portraying passion without wonder, sacrifice without ecstasy.

For all the majesty of the landscapes, a fuller view of the population wouldnt have gone amiss: theres a shortage of background information.

The result is a corny, contrived and something of a meh movie that will principally appeal to those who like a good, old sob.

Blockers is a relentlessly crude and creepy comedy which yields far fewer laughs than might have been hoped.

Were going to keep getting this exact same story every so often, and its likely going to be told far more skillfully than it is here.

In fact, this film is so bad that it feels more interminable and insufferable than all the tearjerkers based on Nicholas Sparks novels put together.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when a movie willfully misrepresents how a disease works to advance a plot.

Ah, its another teen falling in love while dying beautifully romance.

Rather than portray awareness of a very real disorder, its used as a tool to incur drama and demand tears.
Film Inquiry

The ending itself seems to come out of nowhere as if the script had exhausted the premise with only one thing left to do.

Although it may seem cheesy, this film is loveable for its sincere heart.

The schmaltzy narrative removes viewers from having true empathy for both characters and it completely loses plausibility in the final act.

Midnight Sun is cheesy and implausible and manipulative, but it did chip away at my cynicism through the sheer force of its corny and sincere heart.

Maybe its the hormones but Midnight Sun left me as an epic disaster after watching.

It just looks like commercial photography, a lot of couples on beaches and weathered wood planking and big moments edited in montage.

A touch of realism would have been nice but probably as feasible as the movie title.

The sick teen genre is never lacking in sentimentality, and Midnight Sun is dripping with it.

Leave any Commando remakes to Jason Momoa.Schwarzenegger could slot more easily into a role as a resident on an ER style TV drama.

...as great as the ensemble is, the script is even better, easily making The Death of Stalin the best and funniest film of 2018 thus far.
