Review of Spontaneous

Spontaneous (II) (2020)
6/10
Humorous, but not funny...
12 October 2020
The movie is 'OK'... it's an 'OK' comedy, and an 'OK' romance, and an 'OK' drama... it's not particularly good in either of these categories and especially for the 'drama' part of the film, it could have been much much better if it explores the main aspect of the plot more: What caused it? Why does it only affect certain people? How was it cured? If the movie didn't leave these questions unanswered then it could have flushed out the story of the movie much more and also focused more on the drama portion of the film.

But those issues aside, the acting in the movie was actually impressive: Katherine Langford's performance was most impressive and Charlie Plummer as well did a very good job. I didn't expect such good performances from these two relatively unknown (and young) actors. So honestly, the acting in this movie isn't the reason why the movie was poor, it's the other aspects ie. plot, script, directing, length, etc.

Overall it's an 'OK' movie to watch once... but it absolutely won't warrant repeated viewings. It's a shame, because the movie could have been 8/10 with just a few changes.
