Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between is a movie created as a summer flick for teens with yearning hearts.

Can it be considered original and surprising? It does not pretend to be either and therefore is none.
These comedies (ruling out The Breakfast Club from 1985) tend to follow a pre-established structure, and with exception of minor differences, follow the same marketing principles.
This new rom-com for teens does not veer from this predetermined structure, however much it tries to be “different”.
Let’s review the good aspects of the movie:
It knows how to evolve with its audience, and Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between shows with a certain sense of maturity.
It does pay tribute to the happy-go-lucky lightness of movies in this genre, but it must be said that it balances well between sweetness and a slight bitterness.
Its structure is acceptable, and as mentioned before, it knows how to evolve within its own plot, and it manages to make us empathize with the characters be wrapped up in the story.
Although it is an endearing and sincere movie, the screen write is quite simple (at times it seems forced, once again it follows the classic structure of a romantic comedy)
The main character played by Talia Ryder, is the quintessential intelligent, charming young woman with young woman problems. Nothing new under the sun. Being co-starred by Jordan Fisher has probably raised the bar.
Our Opinion
This Netflix movie does not strive to be ultra modern, nor does it seem to want to. It is a good old dramedy, perfect to watch on a summer eve.
