My Boyfriend in Orange

who cares if its corney, its heartwarming!!!

lighthearted with nice message and some character growth, even if its corny its super adorbs and worth the watch!!! especilly if you want to watch something that has romance that is right to the point !!
the main characters find something in each other that helped them out in their own way. its youthful and delivers the right amount of romance, friendship and dreams. the supporting characters also felt like main characters.
music, acting and story are very nice! ITS BASED ON A MANGA, SO GIVE IT A READ IF YOU DIDNT GET ENOUGH PLOT. it has over 48 chapters and you can get to know the characters better and see what esle there in store. as for the movie they only used like a fraction of the story :D

"Moekare wa Orenji-iro" is such a simple and easy treat to watch. There's nothing particularly complex about a story about a high school girl falling in love with a firefighter and their journey together. And if you come in expecting only that (really, what all the trailers for this film tell you it's about!), then it's pretty hard to not enjoy the simplicity and cheesiness of this film. Iwamoto Hikaru and Meruru as the lead actors of the film fulfill their roles - they aren't particularly amazing, but they aren't terrible either. Snow Man's "Orange Kiss" is well-suited to the tone of the entire film - light-hearted, poppy, and easy to listen to. Both the movie and the song are easy to take in, but aren't particularly memorable either. Nothing about this film - from the story to the actors - is particularly special or deep. But it's cute, and it's easy, and sometimes, you just want something cheesy and light (and that may give you a slight toothache with how sweet it is!) to watch. And for those moments, when you just need a pick-me-up, I'd recommend this film. :) (And also, obviously, if you are a fan of Iwamoto, definitely check this out!)

Not my cup of tea

This movie is based on a manga, and you can recognize it immediately due to its exaggerated behaviors that work well in the manga format but come across as unnatural in live action.

I’m sure the manga is much better, however, I didn’t enjoy this movie very much. I believe this is mainly because the elements from the manga world don't translate well to a live-action setting, and also the way the scenes transitioned from one to another ( I am guessing maybe they were following the manga storyboard) really affected the flow of the movie. It felt incomplete, as if some parts were not edited properly.
Maybe someone will like this but for me is a pass.
