Movie Review - The Sun Is Also a Star
I enjoyed The Sun is a Also A Star more than I thought I would, since romance flicks are not in my current job description.
The acting was pretty good, and I will say our two star-crossed lovers had great chemistry. The target audience -- teenage girls -- will not be disappointed. Charles Melton has the face of a fashion model, and exudes confidence in his role. And every young girl will want the face of Yara Shahidi, or at the very least, her hair.
Parents should feel comfortable taking their teens to see The Sun is Also A Star. It has very little cursing, no explicit love scenes, and no drug use. There is a thread running through the movie of destiny, hope, and perseverance -- a good message for teenagers.
I'm giving The Sun is Also A Star a generous B-, based on the expected demographics. Their response to the chemistry between our two stars pretty much drives the movie.
Grade: B-
Rated (PG-13) for some suggestive content and language Genres: Drama, Romance
