Heartbreaking Story About First Love
Dani(Reese Witherspoon) has always been very close with her older sister Maureen(Emily Warfield) until they both start falling in love with their neighbor Court(Jason London). But it is not after a terrible tragedy strikes that the two sisters realize that nothing can keep them apart and that their love for each other will never fade away.This was truly a heartbreaking story about first love. Probably the most painful story about young love that I have ever seen. All the acting is amazing and Reese Witherspoon gives a great performance in her first movie. I would give The Man in the Moon 8.5/10
Good Beginning, terrible ending.
This movie started out great, but the ending completely ruined it for me. It wasn’t that I would have liked for Dani and Court to end up together, because I realize that is unrealistic, but the fact that they chose to throw the two of them into a romantic triangle with Dani’s older sister, have Court completely and inexplicably shun Danielle, and have Court and Maureen claim to love each other after only TWO DAYS of knowing each other completely, and I mean, COMPLETELY ruined this movie. You can guess that it was Court’s confusion over being interested in someone so young as Dani despite his resistance was the reason for his odd and annoying behavior towards Dani after he’d met her sister, but that is never explained. Not even in a way where you can know something for sure without it being spoken. It was frustrating and obnoxious. I also feel like his death was a complete cop out. The minute Dani finds out that Court was with her sister, he is killed my a tractor (which is oddly hilarious and makes for good poetic justice, in my opinion), and the two are never able to confront the relationship between them and how it had been tarnished. So much felt unfinished with this movie and not in a “well, that’s life” sort of way, it was more of a “wait, huh, what just happened???” kind of way. I also hated the how Maureen’s “grief” over the boy she had known and loved for two days was made out to be more important and significant that Dani’s. It literally made no sense to me. This movie had great potential in the beginning, but the way it ended just sucked to me. Overall, I didn’t feel like it was a complete waste of time, but it did disappoint me greatly. 6/10.
