Genre : Drama / Romance

The movie is running under two titles, Game of Love,and Time is up.

 

I personally didn't watch the first movie, but I don't feel like I missed much,considering how bad the plot and the acting was! The only good thing about the movie was the landscape.

 

Vivien is in Italy with her boyfriend, which they visit because he wants to sell his childhood house. They are ready to go back to the USA,New Jersey, where she is offered a scholarship,but he is offered to showcase his pictures at an Italian gallery,so they decide to stay,although she must be in the USA in a week.

 

Vivien hears a crash and for some unknown reason runs to help the one in need. It turned out it was a woman her age,who fell off her bike and scratched her arm.

Vivien can't leave her be,and offers to decontaminate the scratch. She does it in her bed,in the bedroom, as the rest of the house was taken or full,I guess.

They become besties immediately,and spend the day together, swimming half naked, without their bras. Did I mention the woman had a scratch, so bad,she could swim in salt water?

 

The bf seems to know the woman,but neither of them say they know each other.

 

There's these scenes with two kids,which is supposed to be a childhood crush/ romance. My guess was, it turned out I was correct, it was the woman who staged,pardon,fell off the bike.

 

Vivien seems to think they are besties, but this woman left her alone in the woods in a foreign country!

SPOILERS Vivien tells her she gets drunk easily so she doesn't want to drink,Ana, the stalker,doesn't quit until she makes her drink with her. Which is not hard to do. Vivien never got drunk though.

 

There's nothing I liked about the movie. Let's count down the ways I hated it : SPOILERS AHEAD

 

- the scenes are abrupt, they don't merge, don't flow naturally.

 

- The conversations seem staged and are mostly about nothing, the acting falling flat on its face.

 

- The love scenes are a let down,as they finish as soon as they start.

 

- She says her flight is in an hour,and she didn't even start packing yet!! So,she decides to go with him to the art gallery,it will only take one hour!

 

- The stalker pulled a 180 , and tells the lead he has to do his best to be with Vivien,after she tried to separate them. She says he has to do his best to be with her,just like her,the stalker, did her best to be with him! Although,she didn't. Being fake besties with Vivien, kissing with her and playing naked in the sea and at the masked ball,to the point I thought she was gay,and actually jealous of him,doesn't count.

 

- The male lead was covered in ugly tattoos.

 

- The male lead proposes to Vivien after 6 months, they are teens, and he still won't tell her about the stalker when asked. So she has to find out from the stalker,her version of the story.

 

- The movie starts with flashes from this movie,flashes from what happens towards the end. I thought they were flashes from the previous one!

 

- The movie seems a bad rip off of 50 Shades of Gray. It even has the stalker and the masked ball.

 

- The acting was awful, especially from the male lead. The only one who was better was Bella Thorne.

 

The movie is streaming on Amazon Prime Video, and is for rent or sale on Amazon, Apple, Google, Redbox, Vudu, YouTube.
