Hope Springs Eternal features the instantly likeable Mia Rose Frampton. The humor is a little broad, but the movie's messages will still resonate for a young audience. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 08/09/2018
The appealing Mia Rose Frampton makes it work. Go to Full Review Kristy Strouse Film Inquiry 08/23/2018
There's enough sweetness between the blurry lines to make the slight running time of 78 minutes feel like a breeze. Maybe when you're dealing with subject matter as depressing as this, the best route is to put some sheen over it. Go to Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media 08/10/2018

rodrigo g @rmgaspar49 06/30/2019 Surprised about so many positive reviews. Really formulaic high school comedy, obvious from the second minute. Good acting from the lead (the rest very uneven) but these days we are getting a lot more creative solutions for this genre, that I appreciate. Cancer is different but not really *that* different at this point. The rest, about being popular and believing in yourself, not good. The videoclip at the credits is embarassing. See more 02/01/2019 I thought that the movie was pretty boring and the plot wasnï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)t the best, on the other hand the acting was pretty good and the quality was great. See more 11/14/2018 Even if it was a bit cloying and moderately cheesy, leaving a juvenile taste in one;s mouth. I can appreciate the sentiments and its attempts to depict a unique take on terminal illness and how remission could affect the susceptible mind of our average teenager trying to find herself once learning she isn't about to die after all. Just ignore some of the rather far-fetched elements to the plot. I wasn't buying into them either. [C] -- 57% See more 11/11/2018 I was really bored and thought that the story line was cliche See more 11/08/2018 Wish I could rate 0... movies like these aren't typically acted that well, but this was laughably bad. See more 09/24/2018 Fake and cliches, super blonde See more Read all reviews
