Midnight Sun (2018) The weekend can only mean one thing.........
A complete takeover of BQ's viewing by Beloved Daughter...........who never met a movie about a doomed teen romance that she didn't adore.........
Once again we have a "I'm-so-sick-I'm-Gonna-Die-At-Any-Moment" teen girl who somehow finds love........
The last of these things that BD made us suffer through, "Everythijng, Everything", sprung a surprising twist that made the kid's fatal disease a lying scam made up by Mom...........(even Joan Crawford at her worst never thought of that idea.......beats a wire-hanger beatdown by a mile....)
However, the malady afflicting Bella Thorne in 'Midnight Sun' is supposed to be the real deal........
If sunlight hits her, she's toast. Deader than Christopher Lee when a ray of sunshine splashes on him in a Hammer film......
But in the immortal words of 10 million Twitter and Instagram users......OMG......she meets the love of her life in Patrick Schwarzenegger.......whose primary job is to look caring and concerned and physically resemble his father. (In that regard,he's at least as good as Scott
Eastwood.....)
We only wish Patrick had held out his hand to Bella and yelled, "Come with me if you want to live.......
Surprisingly, this movie only makes a half-hearted attempt to beg for tears........as if the director already realized that such histrionics were way, way beyond Bella Thorne's limited abilities........
Beloved Daughter, to her dismay, couldn't squeeze a single tear out of this negligible little nothing of a movie........(bless her, she always approaches such films in the eternal hope of duplicating the wrenching experience she got from the Holy Grail of such movies, "A Walk To Remember" with Mandy Moore. ......'Midnight Sun', in comparison, offered her barely a Half-a-step To Remember...)
As for BQ..........we stayed awake......for politeness sake. A major effort.
That's the best we could do. Zero stars. (0)............we only wish this movie's disease afflicted all the characters in the 'Twilight' series........would have made for shorter movies....(always a plus for us.....)
