16-Love (2012) Reviews

• A great family movie with a great message

  This is a delightful movie. It stars an excellent cast and great chemistry between the main characters. It is sweet and funny without trying too hard, and is a story about rising above conflict and deciding how to grow up, themes that are relevant for so many viewers. It is all too common that the passion for sports overtakes our lives, only to leave us devastated when we are not able to perform at the very top of our game. These characters handle the circumstances with humor and grace. This is one of the rare films that can be enjoyed by adults and kids alike. My kids were riveted and it sent them a very positive message about growing up, being strong, and living with character. I also love that the main character is a teenage girl, and she prevails as a determined and outspoken character who remains believable and likable at the same time. Love 16-Love!

• My daughters and I love this movie...

  A kind hearted movie that was perfect for my daughters and I. Brought us closer as we watched the film. We giggled at the funny parts and took in the life lessons that the film had to offer. Nice to see a sports film that wasn't about football or basketball, two sports that drab my attention, but not as much to my daughters. Now my girls want to play tennis from watching this film. Made me realize that I have to keep an "open and on going" communication not only with my wife, but with my kiddos too... A great family movie and made me "DAD" as the hero of the day by taking them to a great movie that they loved... Good job 16-LOVE.

• Totally Adorable

  If you love teen romantic comedies, this one is perfect for you. The story is versatile and you can't help but fall in love with Farrell Gambles (Chandler Massey). His smile lights up the screen. I've seen this movie a million times and I really enjoy it. The characters are great. The lead actors have excellent chemistry and they're just fun to watch. Not to mention, the tennis is spot on. It's a great film to kick back and enjoy. It's the perfect movie to watch with friends, family, and kids. The love story is adorable, the comedy is great for everyone, and the action is stellar. Oh, and the drama is great. Nothing beats a Russian vixen trying to steal your boyfriend. Of course there's a family element to enrich the story and it definitely helps boost the conflict. Great mix of just about everything you need to enjoy a movie-watching experience. Don't miss this one.

• A romantic comedy that serves up a lot of fun for the whole family

  You don't have to love tennis to love this movie. It is good family fun, the kids will love the characters, and be drawn in by the romantic nature of plot. The sports fans will be drawn in by the competition that takes place on the court. And parents will be drawn in by the relationship between the coach/father that is a bit rocky. All will love the comedic relief from characters such as Red Bull who is true to his name and needs to lay off of the energy drinks a bit. Like a good set of tennis the film moves you ever faster to its conclusion that had our family on the edge of their seats for the final point. You'll be rooting for this movie, it's an ace!

• A movie with lots of balls. (tennis balls)

  This movie is about tennis. Hence a lot of balls. Get it? Anyway this movie is a hidden gem from the large genre of tennis teen romantic comedy films. The chemistry between the lead actors, was sweeter than honey. I watched it with my older sister who thought it was not good, but I thought it was very good. She thought it lacked good sound direction. (she can be very harsh to movies). She also thought that I was too old to see this movie, as it had a kissing scene at the end, but I don't care, I have fapped to better. This movie is good for people looking for a good time. I had a great time watching the balls go across the screen. This movie touched me everywhere, and I mean everywhere. -Fan Of Balls (tennis balls)
