Regretting You

Regretting You is essentially two films fighting for control, one is legitimately good, the other is well not. The film centers on Clara Grant (McKenna Grace who is an absolute movie star) whose relationship with local popular boy Miller (Mason Thames ditto) is complicated by a simultaneous tragedy, an overprotective mom and revelations that threaten to tear everyone apart. First let’s start with the good, the teen romance, it’s believable and genuinely sweet and both Grace & Thames are appealing as individuals and as a couple. What doesn’t work: nearly everything involving the adults in particular Clara’s mother (Alison Williams, a good actor trying her best with frustrating material) who makes a decision early on that begins at misguided and by the end with developments later on makes her an unforgivable character. Despite this i will give Regretting You a modest recommendation as a YA love story even with those big reservations. 

I Give It 3 1/2 Stars!!!
