My Love Story!! (2015)

Ok so i was thinking of watching
it for a long time now because
this movie looked very unique to
me. I mean in cute movies like
this we see a BEAUTIFUL cute
girl fall in love with a HANDSOME
guy and all but here we see a
BEAUTIFUL cute girl falling for an
ugly guy. Well he was stated ugly
but according to me he is not!

That guy is ugly but his heart is
made of gold and thats what the
girl falls for but there is a
confusion! The "ugly" guy has a
" handsome" friend and so the
ugly guy thinks the girl likes his
friend and a lot of
misunderstandings got created!

On a whole this movie was a full
on childish misunderstandings
but i liked it nevertheless i don't
know why. The girl loved him so
much and that made my heart
beat and the guy's love for her was
not less. I loved his friend though.

Although he was handsome he
wasn't a jerk and he cared about
his friend very much. I loved their
friendship too. The most i liked
was the both main's stupidness
they both were stupid lol

I don't remember much about the the music so low score for it. The acting was good enough. If you think it's overacting, no they are just supposed to act like this on live actions lol.

The ending was the best though.
Overall the movie was very good
to light my mood up as the
characters were very likable. The
story was pure sweet with no
beautiful bishes telling the FL to
get lost and all. It was a pure story
of two teens. If you just want to laugh or if you are in a bad mood and want to feel good. This Movie's for you! It's dumb but it's still pure entertainment.

(WARNING!!: I'm a huge fan of the anime and manga, so this review might be a bit biased.)

It's been nearly two years since the shoujo manga "Ore Monogatari!!" got an anime adaptation, and not long after that anime adaptation ended - on Halloween that very year, to be exact - a live-action movie adaptation made its theatrical debut. As a fan of the anime who had watched it every single week without question, I was a bit curious about the live-action version, but at the same time, I was a bit pessimistic. After all, there were some factors that could keep the live-action version from being good, such as Takeo's appearance (I mean, with how freaking tall he is). However, I wasn't going to let my concerns hold me back; after all, a live-action Ore Monogatari might actually be good, right?

....Well, that'll depend on who you're asking.

Takeo Gouda, played by Ryohei Suzuki, is a big, intimidating, not-so-attractive high school guy, but underneath it all is a kind heart. Unfortunately, the girls he likes can't see that; they'd rather go for his hot childhood friend, Makoto Sunakawa (Kentaro Sawaguchi). However, this all seems to change when he saves Rinko Yamato (Mei Nagano) from a molester. Takeo thinks that Yamato, like all of the other girls, likes Sunakawa, but is this truly the case?

The first thing I'd like to mention is the acting. I'm not really one to judge acting, but in my opinion, the acting for this movie is a bit of a mixed bag, although it is fortunately more on the positive side. This is mainly because of Ryohei Suzuki's portrayal of Takeo; his facial expressions are quite amusing, and a handful of funny moments that were because of Takeo were performed well. It was also clear to see that he was having fun with his role. As for the rest of the cast, some of them were good, and others were bad; that's honestly all I can say about that.

As for the story, that's also a mixed bag, but this time, it is, unfortunately, more on the negative side. If this is your first time experiencing this series, you may not find a lot to be wrong with this story, but as for me, I couldn't help but find things wrong with it. The main problem is that although it only took a short time for the main couple to get together in both the manga and the anime (it's probably obvious who the main couple is, but in order to avoid complaints for spoilers, I won't say who it is), it takes FOREVER for them to get together in the movie! There were also other moments in this movie that were not only mixed around from the manga and the anime, but some were even changed completely! However, I can't say I hate the story too much; they had to cram all of this content into 1 hour and 45 minutes of screentime, so naturally, they were going to mix it around. Besides, there was one moment in the movie that I didn't recall seeing in the manga or the anime but still found slightly amusing, so I guess I can forgive this movie for that.

A real saving grace for this movie is its background music. There was a plethora of great background music in this movie that fit whatever was happening, and I enjoyed listening to it. I mean, not all of the songs were great, but a good number of them were! The ending song was also a nice song to listen to; it wasn't anything groundbreaking, but it was good for what it was.

Overall, despite how great the anime and manga versions were, I found Ore Monogatari to just be an okay movie. Huge fans of the series might be slightly disappointed, but if this is your first time experiencing this series, you may end up liking it a lot. After all, no matter what medium, it's quite a sweet love story!

STORY: For those who never watched/read the manga/anime, you will find it enjoyable. It was fun in the beginning, kinda felt like it dragged on a bit in the second part but generally, it was a cute romcom movie for sure!

But if you have read or watched Ore Monogatari from the anime/manga, I'd still recommend it but you will get a bit annoyed but it is still enjoyable. It was slightly annoying because it didn't take long for them to be a couple but here, it took a really long time. Basically, it turned out to become the point of the whole movie whether can Takeo & Yamato ever become an item. In the anime/manga, after they became a couple, the rest of the episodes were just them being lovey dovey and overcoming obstacles together. I wanted to see that, them being lovey dovey the whole time but the whole movie focused on whether they'll get together or not. But anyhow, if you treat it like as if it was another story or a stand-alone, it's enjoyable and cute.

CAST/ACTING: Suzuki Ryohei did a good job portraying Takeo, sure they could've picked any other big muscular dude but I don't know how many huge buff japanese popular actors are there. Nagano Mei did great as Yamato Rinko, she never came off as unnatural and annoying but she was cute just like how Yamato Rinko was in the manga/anime. Sakaguchi Kentaro looks great as Suna but he doesn't do much here since his role doesn't offer him much to do. For the others, they looked just like their anime/manga counterpart so that's a plus from me.

MUSIC: I don't remember anything about the music, none of it was memorable to me.

REWATCH VALUE: it was cute, fun and hilarious in the beginning but after like one hour had passed, they really dragged it out and it got boring for me, I just really wanted them to get together already. 5/10 rewatch value for me.

All in all, despite how great the anime and manga versions were, it was a solid movie. Those who are fans of the series might be slightly disappointed (still enjoyable) because it didn't take long for them to get together in the anime, but if this is your first time experiencing this series, you might like it a lot. It was definitely, a love story.

STAY AFTER THE CREDITS FOR EXTRA SCENE

Don't judge the outside & fluffy wholesome young first-timers in love unsure how to go about things

"A big bear with a big fluffy heart."

The reason why I love it so much because it is about body image appearance and if you might not be the norm there will still be someone out there liking you just for you! and who might even adore you and your unique body and personality.
Besides, it is otherwise maybe a bit over the top cheesy but then again in general it is quite an anime and Japanese-like.

A really cute fluffy drama, about this really big strong fella and often misunderstood exactly bc of that and deep a bit aggressive voice and tone. But if you get to know him, in reality, he is also this a bit clumsy and seriously has the biggest heart, and the best of a friend to everyone could ever wish for, especially to the ones he considers close, but to such an extent that he puts himself aside easily.
Therefore blinded when his big crush actually has fallen for him as well, and she tries to show her affection big time making all sorts, but shared with his friend on the side, and but bc he is always together with his really good childhood friend, who is a very popular guy with all the girls, and he himself never got any type of that sort of attention, he naturally thinks it is even unthinkable for that to ever happen!

Just incredible cute and wholesome young people first time in love, no experience, and so confused and having everything hit them harder doing the first-timers. Unsure how to do things and how to go about when it comes to communication.

Also, I think Goda Takeo's good childhood friend Sunakawa Makoto might have a secret one-sided love for his friend as well, he kinda seems like it? but he has learned to treasure his friend more and for his happiness over his own first, and he this way gets to keep his friend around still.

I gave this a 7/10.

First of all this is a live action drama based on the anime/manga of the same name. I've seen a few episodes of the anime and definitely do think that they adapted it well. The cast fit well. The acting wasn't that bad. And the music was also sweet. The reason I rated this a 7/10 is because it wasn't the best movie out there, but it was sweet. The basic story is that Takeo thinks that Rinko/Yamato likes his best friend, but she actually likes him. So the whole movie he's trying to help her get with his friend, but she thinks that he doesn't like her and he finally realizes it in the end.

Still able to make me smile but somehow it felt long, the changed order of events had an effect. It seems that it was done to make it fit as a film, where the ending is that Takeo and Yamato start dating, different from the anime where it happened in the first few episodes, which indeed if calculated in total duration there is no difference, both occur before touching 2 hours.

The cast selection is pretty good, Mei Nagano as Rinko looks so kawaii, Suzuki Ryohei looks good as Takeo, and the others are acted pretty good too.

Unfortunately this movie can't be as exciting as the anime, it's hard to explain in words what it feels like.

I've got mixed feeling about this one. Though it wasn't a bad movie, it seemed like it lucked of something. Okay, first things first: the movie had a comedy element that was excellent, though it was too "manga" like, but in the end it worked. The love story was okay and cute as well. The performances were great and the casting was perfect for their characters, especially the leading man. Now, the whole thing was well executed, however, it kind of felt like it was dragging on and on and the second half onward was bleak and slightly boring. Maybe that's because the love story lucked some intensity. So, overall, 5 out of 10.
