And it kept them interested until the very end. It made viewers fall in love, laugh, cry and wonder. It had a beautiful, quirky, but realistic message. It gave audiences hopeful about Max’s future, after all.Īll in all, Looks that Kill was a heartwarming and touching movie. When it was revealed, it was like a moment of epiphany. Darn you, Hollywood! Still, I liked that they finally solved the mystery of why some people were immune to Max’s lethal charms. The ending was bittersweet, more realistic than whimsical, but darn, I wish they sold me a bridge and gave me a sanitized ending instead. It was in making its audience love and hope along with these characters as it explored the concepts of love, friendship, loyalty, and living. However, the film’s success was really was not its similarities to other coming of age romances. It even reminded me of Pushing Daisies and these were really good metrics of a good movie. The film had a Moonrise Kingdom/The Fault in Our Stars vibe to it. Even under the bandages though, Max looked like a cute guy, and when I checked his IMDB, I can confirm that he is. Looks That Kill is a dark comedy about Max Richards, a teenage boy born with a medical condition of being lethally attractive, who is changed forever when. But the most compelling thing about this guy was the mystery of his face.īe warned that you wait from beginning to end for a glimpse of his lethally attractive face but until the end, the stingy filmmakers only showed a portion of his mug. Max was like a puppy, experiencing love and acceptance for the first time, (with the exception of his parents and his best friend Dan). She treated people well and they loved her in return. She was just trying to live her life the best way that she could, given her circumstance. I like that the film didn’t portray Alex as the typical cheerful girl hiding a secret. You would ship them from the first, just as I have.
They both seemed so genuine and charismatic and they clicked so naturally.
There was great chemistry between Brandon Flynn (Max) and Julia Goldani Telles (Alex) that made them so rootable. While the lethally attractive face condition at first seemed comedic, the journey of these two young people was not. I was initially intrigued by the film so I went ahead and watched it.
