Movie Review : A Case of You

Was lucky to have won an in-season pass for 2 to the movie A CASE OF YOU through a simple instagram contest.

Thanks to the staff from the Cathay who even call me up to remind me to collect the in-season pass which in turn can be used to exchange for the movie tickets at any Cathay Cineplex. We exchanged it for the tickets at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard. I love the comfy and spacious seats there and the design of the space by the side. Big enough for me to put my whole bag there. 

Let's start from the movie poster, When I did a search online, this is the image that appears but the version in Singapore is the first picture of this post. 

Found that colour blue familiar? Yes, it's the same blue as Facebook and Yes, the movie is a romantic comedy for the social media age and Facebook plays a big role.

STORY

A young writer, Sam (Justin Long) falls in love with the cute and quirky barista, Birdie (Even Rachel Wood) who works in his favourite Brooklyn Cafe.

So when Birdie stopped working at the cafe before Sam even gotten her contacts, guess what did he do? Yes, he stalk her on Facebook. He found out what are her hobbies, what is her latest status and even to the extend to what event she will be going next and he appears there. He started learning everything that she likes just to be her "dream guy" and impress her. Naturally, they fall in love, blar blar blar but things turned sour when Sam feels that he can't keep up in his act anymore. He is only pretending to be enjoying those things he do. 

His fear of rejection took the best of him and he started to question Birdie and even himself. It was a sudden change in the story line whereby Sam treated Birdie with great hostile during one of the date. After that we were abruptly brought back to the romantic clinch story line whereby Sam decided to make a last minute appearance at a ballroom dance competition to make an apologetic confession. The truth were told to Birdie and Birdie accepted him and the movie ends with a happy ending.   

THOUGHTS

Good luck, my stalkers!! I've got 468 likes on Facebook. Lolol~ 

Ok, admit it, why do we use Facebook? Professionally, we say for networking or to read the news which usually are the juicy, gossipy news. Other than that, we "stalk" people.  

So, I think we all need to know what to post and what not to post, especially on social media. One wrong thing mentioned and it would probably see you and your family flying elsewhere, or become the next hot topic on the timeline. Learn to use the privacy setting wisely. If you really need to post something (itchy hands like me) but don't want too many people to know, set it to private please. Thank you!
