Maybe it's this soapy saga's cocktail of the worst of both the Lifetime network and self-consciously quirky indie cinema, but the strong supporting cast (including Jenkins and Blythe Danner) looks downright queasy in every frame. Go to Full Review

"Waiting for Forever" evidently is an attempt to portray love as purest when expressed by those who are most innocent, untainted by the ugliness of the real world. But it misses the mark completely, coming off instead as creepy. Go to Full Review

A drippy romance that makes Nicholas Sparks look like Leo Tolstoy. Go to Full Review

A suggestion to screenwriters: Stop telling stalkers that their passion isn't misplaced and that the girl will come around in the end. It is, and she won't. Go to Full Review

Martin O May 21 I think Bilson's acting did not capture the message of the director trying to let leave a little hope to Will to base his insistence to her, and not leave him as a simple stalker See more Maryanne M 09/03/2024 This sweet and romantic movie has a lot to recommend it. The stars have wonderful chemistry and it's an emotional story that a lot of sentimental people will relate to. Tom Sturridge's performance feels very honest and you fall in love with his character and you are rooting for his dream to come true. See more Steve D 10/14/2023 It has no idea what it wants to be. See more 09/15/2021 best romantic movie i ever seen See more 06/19/2019 Lets see, I really dont know where to start with this movie, first of all it is not a love story, is a stalker story; Im mean this guy is cleary damage, he acts like he's mentally 5. saying things like:"Jimbo said peachy" really? He doesnt have a job, a place to live,he's selfish enough to not care about others being worry about him just because he's after a girl who doesnt even know anymore but he has idealized this conection with her...is called stalking and is a not ok people! Are we supose to feel conected or sorry about this character ? I feel afraid, c'mon he even speaks with his dead parents. Now, the girl, her career is falling apart, her "love" relationship as well, her father is sick , she looks complety miserable. but instead of showing a character trying to get her ducks in a row the writer decided to go in a diferent direction: why to put yourself together when you can run after a guy who has been following you for years and has no sense of responsability? Sorry not a love story to me but more like a 2 damage young adults with no sense of responsability . See more 05/17/2015 Not that cute actually. See more Read all reviews
