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.

If I Stay is like a third-rate The Fault in Our Stars; it's sappy and manipulative, but in the worst ways. It's cheesy, derivative, and ridiculous, even on a "12 year old girl tearjerker" level.

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.

A lot of potential wasted on a sugary teenager melodrama that will make you cry just because of the time and money you wasted on this disaster, And huge waste of time.

Hopelessly romantic 15 year old girl who can handle really cheesy acting and very corny, stereotyped story lines, and it is a huge waste of time, The whole movie was a huge building up to a disappointing ending.

BARBRA STREISAND - song - The Way We Were.

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 wereBARBRA STREISAND - song - The Way We Were.

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.

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

It proves once again that movies mad from young adult books are not meant for anyone, of any age who considers themselves to be adult. Chloe Grace Moretz is marvellous, as she usually is, particularly in the cello playing scenes. That being said...the flick is maudlin, contrived, tear jerking schmaltz. Chloe did not deserve to have this movie thrust upon her.… Expand
