Based on the novel, Everything, Everything written by Nicola Yoon, is a stereotypical  sappy romance movie. A boy and a girl fall in love at first sight, and the girl’s mother does not approve of their relationship, etc etc.

A few of the characters may seem recognizable to you as they include: Amandla Stenberg, who played our beloved Rue in The Hunger Games, Nick Robinson, who played Zach in Jurassic World and Anika Noni Rose who was the voice of Tiana in The Princess and the Frog. Stella Meghie, a lesser known director, has only directed one other movie, Jean of the Joneses.

Stenberg plays a young 18 year old, Maddy Whittier, who has a rare disease known as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) in other words, she is basically allergic to everything in the outside world. Once her neighbor, Olly (Robinson) moves in next door, things begin to get spicy. Once Maddys’ mother, Pauline (Rose), finds Olly’s bracelet on the ground, it causes major chaos leading to Pauline to fire their long time friend and nurse, Carla. Everything, Everything is a more serious version of 2001 movie Bubble Boy. Bubble Boy is played by Jake Gyllenhaal who has X-linked SCID, causing him to stay in a germ-free bubble for most his life, but once he lays his eyes on his next door neighbor.. Well, let’s just say it’s the same ending as Everything, Everything.

The beginning of the movie felt rushed  by not giving enough time to explain the situation in its entirety. Let’s be real, it is impossible to fall  in love with just one look at someone. Not only was the movie typical, the ending was highly predictable. The only good things I can take from  this movie are the playlist and the shocking plot twist.

Is it worth spending the money to go see it? No, I would definitely wait for it to come on Netflix, which might fairly happen soon. If you’re not one to watching others swoon over each other, this might not be your kind of movie. But if you’re into happily ever afters, this is the film for you.
