This was such a lovely movie. I enjoyed it a lot. It was sweet and emotional and heartbreaking and fun. Also, I have not read the book.

Before the movie started, we got a poster, a set of stickers and a necklace as promotional items. And then we saw footage from a live (I think it was recorded earlier in the day from a California screening) Q&A screening with the director and three of the four leads. McKenna Grace wasn’t there but she sent in a video. It was a nice conversation and the cast seemed to really get along. And they all had wonderful things to say about McKenna.

I of course have known of Dave Franco for years, and he did a great job as expected. In the Q&A recording, he mentioned that it was nice to play a good character and not a jerk as some of his other roles have been, haha.

Allison Williams did an amazing job at such a difficult character. Everything her character went through really was felt through her acting.

Mason Thames is certainly having a great year! As in his role as Hiccup earlier this year, I really enjoyed his work here. He portrayed this character in a real and vulnerable way. He was in a third thing recently and I didn’t know what it was, I’ll have to look into it.

McKenna Grace is such a fantastic actress. I’ve seen her in her roles as a kid in shows for years and I’m so glad that she was cast in this role. She did a brilliant job. She went through such a range of emotions during the movie and I felt them all. The joy, pain and everything else was masterfully acted. I can’t wait to see her in more things.

The rest of the cast was also great. The comedic characters were fun and I also want to see more from them. There were even a couple big names that showed up who I didn’t know were in this, so it was nice to see them show up.

Some plot was a bit easy to figure out, but it still hit hard when they happened. Dave Franco said that there will be times when you’ll want to be frustrated with the characters decisions and feel free to yell at the screen, haha. There were certainly moments where I felt like that. But I loved the journey that every character went through.

This movie is certainly good to watch during various times in people’s lives. You see the point of view from everyone and it’s relatable, even if you’ve not gone through the things that happen here, you can empathize and see where everyone is coming from. That remains the same for the mistakes that characters made. I would indeed recommend Regretting You.
