The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
这男的算老几啊对女主指手画脚，it‘s her life, dude😅 你该庆幸人家乐意和你试试，凭什么还让人家大明星有钱又好看又有才华迁就你😅😅😅
挺俗套的，maluma还能再油腻点嘛？如果marry me这种歌还能提名就说明格莱美真死了。
平平淡淡的玛丽苏狗血故事，老套路的平行爱情，亦或者是低配版的与你共乘海浪之上
毫无任何惊喜与意外，都在预料范围内，欧文老了以后感觉都脱相了，再也没有看上海正午那时候那样帅了
肯定是有很多缺点 但是歌好听+把我看哭了还是打四星吧！泪点在JLo带数学老师去Coney Island的wonder wheel和在学校prom唱after love那里！
只能说一般，什么号称现代版人鬼情未了，问题是女主竟然用的是最古老的冲晒房技术，我年轻的时候搞过，不好玩。都什么年代了，不要说这显得女主很文艺，放在二三十年前可能是，但是现在，我这个老阿姨都觉得匪夷所思，所以压根打动不了我。
欧文威尔逊有时候很帅，有时候像戴假发的川普。剧情乱七八糟但台词比看过的大部分漫威迪士尼强
又一部netflix塑料糖水片，冲着ugly Betty和brothers &sisters的两个演员看的，但是即使这样也很勉强能够看完。 就差把ＣＬＩＣＨＥ六个字母打在屏幕上的爱情和家庭剧情既不浪漫也不温馨，把同志类型的chick-flick拍成了饭圈腐女俱乐部
I still don’t know her.
前一半还挺傻挺甜的，后半程简直刻意到不行，尽管这也是可以预见的，但是不太能接受“姐妹变男友”这件事，拜托你们住一起六年诶！有没有搞错！真的可能什么都没发生吗？另外这一大家子都是腐女到处嗑cp也简直了，就算要嗑的话，谁会对帅气忠犬狼狗say no呢？
剧情比较弱一些，但瑕不掩瑜。好多画面都拍得很好看，特别是几段歌舞。节奏也把握得不错。看起来没有负担。能愉快地看完。
每一次看这种美国家庭喜剧真的就是幸福满满，我们追求的不是最帅的，而是最适合的
每首歌都好听，不想和诺丁山比，诺丁山更弱智
JLo长着一张大女主的脸却非常喜欢演恋爱小白花，可能本人内心一直住着少女吧，不然现实中怎么又和大本订婚了呢？片子本身没啥营养，但是看JLo的歌舞还是挺给劲的，而且她的每一个造型都很用心。
实在是speechless太俗套了，而且jlo和maluma看起来年纪差太多了，Wilson你就不要老演这种角色了吧
能不能不要拍的一惊一乍的，到底是要表现什么。提了很多电影，却觉得像是在蹭。虽然男主很帅
剧情一般，音乐好听，对洛佩兹印象最深的还是曼哈顿女佣和拉尔夫费因斯搭戏，以及和大本的韵事
PS：爱情轻喜剧总是吸引年轻人吧，在AMC观影，每到甜蜜的剧情，身旁不时爆发出小声的尖叫。年轻真好，心灵那么容易悸动，快乐也是最本能的表达，相信爱情的同时也在渴求着爱情。
娱乐圈文照进现实，还挺好看的，主要是歌儿都太好听了，每一首！都好听！詹尼佛洛佩兹不老女神，剧情虽然离谱不现实，但是比那些假大空的片好太多了。
片子很一般，但是很久都没看过无脑爱情喜剧了，换个颜值高的男主可能好点。
