Like Crazy 2011

Like Crazy (2011)     Anna is a British girl attending college in LA, she falls in love with a fellow student, Jacob.  Anna overstays her student visa and she is returned to Britain by the US government.  Anna and Jacob try to manage a long-distance relationship but find it very difficult.  Anna's father suggests that they get married which will allow Anna to return to the US with Jacob.  They do get married but discover that the problem with the student visa must be solved before she can be allowed back into the US even though they are now married.  They have filed several appeals regarding the student visa with no results so far.  This throws everything into a mess and affects their relationship.
     This is different than I thought it would be, I knew she was from Britain and they wanted to be together but I didn't know about all the circumstances.  I think they both were immature, ended up hurting other people and should not have gotten married at all in the beginning.  They needed to check into the visa and residence details first.  I really wanted this movie to be good since I like the actor but it is too lukewarm.  3* (This movie is OK)

90 min, Drama directed by Drake Doremus with Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Carlei Bewley, Alex Kingston, Oliver Muirhead, Finola Hughes, Chris Messina, Ben York Jones, James Thomas King.
