Apuri de koisuru 20 no Joken (2021)

Why you should consider watching this movie! With honest thoughts

Based on the movie description, this movie seemed very interesting. Another reason why I watched this movie was because of the ML Sugino Yosuke 💕
Anyways, the FL’s acting felt cringey in the beginning as her character gives off this awkward and eccentric vibe. It felt like she was overdoing it, but it played out smoothly and toned down throughout the movie. I think the ML’s acting was more enjoyable. His character had a cool and nonchalant/rude vibe. I would say that there was some chemistry between the actors but not a strong one. If this was made into a drama instead, then I think it would allow for more build up in their chemistry and acting. With the story plot, it is very relatable to society involving dating apps and societal pressures to be in a relationship. This movie perfectly depicted that and portrayed possible problems and scenarios.
*spoilers*
At the end of the movie, I loved that it showed the ML’s real reactions and thoughts about the FL. This was not shown in the movie as he came off as rude and thoughtless, so it gave the perspective of his real feelings towards the FL which was super cute! ☺️

Good Enough

Japanese Drama Special-Movie "App de Koi Suru 20 no Joken" is a well-constructed, nicely paced short film. The movie managed to juggle three stories in a short length, with a bias towards the main couple of course. The idea behind the story, moreover, was interesting, well handled and nicely presented. The app storyline wasn't confusing and it was a smooth starting point for the love stories to bloom. Although, the main love story was a bit rushed towards the ending. Still, it was a fun ride.

The performances, in addition, were all pretty good and everyone in the cast did a great job with their characters, without overdoing it.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
