If Only :Movie Review


Who would've thought that a movie I was so clueless about would end up as my favorite? If Only was introduced to me by my boyfriend.


The movie is about Ian and Samantha, a live-in couple. Ian did not appreciate Samantha and most of the time, she was taken for granted. He did not give his best for their relationship he acted like Samantha didn't even exist. Samantha felt unloved-- this is why she left the house for awhile. She rode a cab, unfortunately, the cab got into a crash that caused her death. Ian felt devastated and sorry for the wrong things he had done. The next morning, he woke up and saw Samantha. She was given a second chance to live. A cab driver told Ian that he must do everything that he can to make Samantha happy. Ian loved Samantha like there was no tomorrow. He noticed that everything seemed like a deja vu-- the night before was a premonition. He tried telling Samantha but she just wouldn't listen. Samantha had a concert planned out. Afterwards, she wanted to ride a cab home. Ian tried to stop her, but she just wouldn't listen. She didn't get why the thought of riding a cab home seemed so wrong to him. Ian had a last resort. He decided to ride the cab with Samantha. He knew what was going to happen. Therefore, he wanted to live the moment with her. Ian hugs her before the accident and he ended up being the one who dies. He saved Samantha's life. Samantha wakes up in the hospital and she realizes that everything he told her was real. The night he mentioned WAS a premonition. A premonition he didn't take for granted.


I cried while watching this movie. It made me realize that I must value everything I have. Even the littlest things that I hardly notice. We'll never know when and what will cause these things to fly away. We may wake up one day without anything at all. I also realized that I should be thankful because I know that I am L-O-V-E-D.
