Draft of copy for review - Keira and Adam

Here is what we have written so far for the review:

With time you expect the same generic romance story which always ends in one finding one’s ‘true love’ and living happily ever after in a perfect little cul-de-sac far, far away. Rarely is it that you come across a film of this style brave enough to challenge those boundaries and seek more original ways to entice its audience. From the title, you’d expect ‘Three Words’ to be the former: another timid, sickly-sweet attempt at capturing the nation’s hearts with the words “I love you”. Alas for Kate, the female protagonist, this is not to be as her messy, rude, sexually unsatisfying, smoker of a boyfriend doesn’t quite cut the traditional picture of Prince Charming.

Aimed directly at the modern teen, this edgy yet somewhat-comfortingly-familiar tale of dysfunctional adolescent romance acts as a voice for males and females who’ve been in the same position as Tom and Kate. The frustratingly close-to-perfect (yet just missing that “certain something”) state of their relationship hits the nail on the head as a study of current times, and may be frighteningly mirror-like to many members of the audience.

Not unlike ‘500 Days Of Summer’ in the emotions explored, ____

This film makes no pretence to be what it’s not; there are no fancy effects, costly sets and costumes or gut-busting action, and in that way (amongst many others) it is social realism through and through. However, the film-makers have added a new dimension by introducing moments of humour and stylistic ways of presenting the story which are a pleasant surprise, and help to effectively communicate the emotions_____ . For example, the voice-over acts as our personal guide through the character’s heads, telling us bluntly and ___ their feelings towards each other at different times. This builds up to (in classic social realism fashion) a suspenseful ending where all that we’ve seen must come to a head and it’s those final moments that will really grab the audience’s attention in a chokehold, the awkwardness and nerves practically pouring out of the screen.

For debut directors Keira Smalley, Dominic Michau, Adam Rutherford and Arran Fitzgerald, this is a team teen triumph which is bound to earn them a successful grounding in the film business should their joint endeavours continue. ‘Three Words’ is not going to break any records or change people’s lives, but it will leave you with a satisfying sense of truth and reflection which will echo the feelings of many frustrated teens around the country.

As you can see there are gaps to be filled and it is not yet completely finished, but we are happy with what we've written so far.
We will try to get the next draft or final version posted as soon as possible.
