A kind-of love story between two privileged-but-different New York white kids, this feels way too pseudo-emo and up it’s own you-know-what to really enjoy. The two kids in question – Freddie Highmore and Emma Watson – have zero chemistry and display none of the inevitable behaviour of other normal adolescents, which I suppose is the point. The problem is it’s just unrealistic. It reminds me of an exercise we used to do at drama school: when you don’t “buy” a peer’s performance you have to scream out, “I don’t believe you!” Well, here you go: “I don’t believe you”!Rating: 2 outta 5.
