Esta película se podría decir que es un drama sentimental que está llevado más al lado femenino que al lado masculino, (pero eso no quiere decir que las mujeres serán las únicas que disfruten del film) y que al final resulta como un largometraje disfrutable y conmovedor que manipula su contenido de una manera decente y se envuelve en una historia que nos lleva desde la música hasta el amor y la desesperación hasta la tristeza, manteniendo su toque optimista a lo largo de su trama en donde también abundan algunas sorpresas.… Expand

If I Stay is loaded with amateur flaws, and it isn’t a film so much as it is a theatrical release of a made-for-TV After School Special. And even then, there isn’t anything special about it.

If I stay is a trashy teen movie that has zero chemistry between its leads. It takes forever to get the ball rolling and just when you think it was turning around, it provides you with a terrible ending to seal the deal.

It's cheesy, derivative, and ridiculous, even on a "12 year old girl tearjerker" level. Chloë Grace Moretz is a good actress and will have a great career, but the guy in the movie can't act for his life.

The one good thing about this movie (and I mean the only one whatsoever) was the cello repertoire. As a cellist, I can say that Mia's fingerings on the cello and the way she played were technically right (which is surprising for a movie like this), and the pieces played in the movie were very prestigious and nice to listen to.

Overall, this movie was tedious, cheesy, and clichéd to the max, and even the girl I went with hated it. That's saying something. Even if you like movies in this genre, avoid it at all costs.… Expand

Chloe sucks at choosing her roles to many remakes she did, and The Equalizer look's like a remake of Taxi Driver (1976). Taken. And If I Stay has the worst ending it is really bad.

Mem'ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...… Expand

Are you kidding me? Chose between a successful life or some loser slacker dude? That is a no brainer except in this movie. Let's throw in some life and death twists and this movie is truly one that only a teenage girl growing up in a cave could love.

When you have such high expectations then the movie just turns out to be pure garbage, This is other monumental dialogue can be yours for the low price of $8 and 2 hours of your precious life.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If I Stay is very sentimental in its themes about family relationships which makes it heartbreaking yet engaging but for the main ideal relationship between the two-star cross lovers (Chloe Moretz and Jamie Blackley), their love for each other seems to be incoherent and yet forced especially the ending part. Its not all that satisfying towards their relationship but at least it gave me tears for the parts when Mia's (Chloe Moretz) parents died in the accident. And one other thing is that; (I don't know if many people agree with me in this one)nwhy the movie showed first the accident scene before the past scenes where Mia meets the boy, and then knowing that her parents are rock music lovers. I don't think it should be that order of appearance, -- its a little rip off to know the life of the people who died in the accident. Overall, If I Stay is sometimes sweet, less funny, and an incoherent piece of melodrama aimed for the young and old.… Expand

Sometimes in life you make choices and sometimes choices make you.”

Adapted from Gayle Forman’s popular young adult novel of the same name, If I Stay hinges on choices and is quick to spell out this message to its audience. Protagonist MiaSometimes in life you make choices and sometimes choices make you.”

Adapted from Gayle Forman’s popular young adult novel of the same name, If I Stay hinges on choices and is quick to spell out this message to its audience. Protagonist Mia (Chloë Grace Moretz) and her family are involved in a massive car wreck early into the film and she finds herself in a state of limbo, forced to watch in horror as she becomes an orphan overnight.

The film alternates between the past and present, filling in the gaps of Mia’s life up until the accident. The past shows Mia’s as a budding cellist with some series talent, hailing from a family of rock music enthusiasts. As a result she has always doubted her talent and questioned her place within the family; enter Adam, an ambitious musician played by Jamie Blackley. Adam is the type of gorgeous, charming, too-good-to-be true love interest that only ever exists in fiction. It takes a fair amount of coaxing from both Adam and her parents (delightfully played by Mireille Enos and Joshua Leonard) before she finally gives into them. Only a few short scenes later and they’re declaring their undying love and doing it in a shed. So sweet. Things begin to go pear-shaped for the couple when Mia considers pursuing her musical dreams and attending Julliard rather than remaining in Portland with Adam.

The present is significantly less interesting. A large chunk of the film is Chloë Grace Moretz running around a hospital with a look of intense bewilderment on her face while her remaining loved ones and an ICU nurse keep pleading with her unconscious body to fight for her life. Therein lies the crux of the story; should Mia stay and fight for a life that doesn’t include her family? Or end it all and keep from feeling the brunt of that pain for the rest of her life?

Unfortunately several members of the cast (including Moretz) seem to be suffering from a serious bout of overacting. This isn’t entirely Moretz’s fault, she isn’t given a whole lot to begin with. Apart from the incredible cello playing, Mia is a rather bland protagonist whose sole personality trait seems to be that she’s insecure. Yes, that comes with the territory of being a teenager, but how this girl has such low self-confidence is beyond me. Her parents have been encouraging and supporting her for her entire life. She has a great friend who always has her back and a boyfriend who is totally besotted with her. This, not the fact that a person can have control over whether live or die, is the biggest stretch of If I Stay.
he film isn’t without its merits, however. Even though Mia’s interactions with Adam lapse almost too far into sentimentality, the scenes she shares with her grandfather (Stacy Keach) are among the film’s best. He is her biggest supporter outside of her immediate family, and his respect for her musical talent is quite touching. I did get a little teary despite myself during his heartfelt speech at Mia’s bedside as he tells her he will understand if she doesn’t have it in her to fight anymore.

While there are a number of scenes to enjoy, I can’t help but feel like I was cheated out of a more compelling story – the one where a girl copes in life after the death of her family. But hey, I hear there’s a second book, perhaps I’ll see some of you for the sequel.… Expand

Why, Chloe Grace Moretz enjoy making horrible movies with terrible production value? Does she get some kind of sick pleasure out of it ?, it is another stupid remake of Chloe, this movie is The Lovely Bones from (2009)

It was advertised very well on TV but when I went to see it with my mum we were both very disappointed. It was awful. There was no story arc. Chole Mortez's character just stayed the same through out the film -- no character development. She just ran around the hospital looking pretty. The secondary characters (her friend, little brother parents) had more character development then her and where frankly much more interesting. It was way too long. Some parts of the film could of been cut out as a lot of the scenes where too prolonged and dull. I found myself getting very bored. If I was Gayle Forman (the author of the book) I would of been very disappointed with the film.… Expand

Many will hate If I Stay because it is, well, very much a chick flick at times. But, even as a guy, I managed to enjoy this one on varying levels. At times, the romance was very, very cheesy.

At times, the romance was very, very cheesy. It was over the top and felt very unrealistic. On top of that, this one can be incredibly melodramatic. However, in saying that, there are many redeeming qualities for If I Stay that I truly feel outweigh the negative. For one, Chloe Grace Moretz is great. She oddly cannot seem to cry, sure, but she was very good. On top of that, this one got me to cry just a little bit at times, which was not what I expected at all. While a lot of it felt very authentic romance wise, emotionally, this one was on point and certainly did a great job there and managed to wind up being a very touching film. The script is also fine, not great, but it got the job done and the cinematography worked well for the most part with some good and some bad. The music is also very good on this one and really completed the film nicely. However, the real reason why I like this one is because of the supernatural element here regarding death. Death fascinates me and this one had a very interesting twist on the whole idea of death, which certainly piqued my interest in that regard. While If I Stay is far off from an Oscar winner, it is a fine film that does not deserve the amount of hatred it has received from some.… Expand
