Strange, But True Movie Review

Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog I decided to tell you my review on Nick Robinson's new movie Strange, But True. I finally watched this movie on January 14, 2020 after the movie came out on September 6, 2019 and tearing the internet apart to watch this movie. The movie is based on the book with the same name by John Searles. If you have not read the book, read it. If you have not watched the movie good luck on finding it. If you have an internet box, I know it's on there.

This movie is about.. 5 years after the death of Ronnie Chase's death, his girlfriend, Melissa Moody shows up to Ronni's mom's & brother's house saying that she is pregnant with his baby. Ronnie's family tries to dismiss Melissa's claim and is plunged into a web of lies, fears, and unrelenting suspense. Ronnie's brother, Philip doesn't believe her ether, but tries to understand while trying to find out the truth. 

The Cast:

Nick Robinson as Philip Chase

Connor Jessup as Ronnie Chase

Put my love for Nick Robinson aside for this review. You Chameleons know how much I love him lol. How I read the book is after seeing Nick's IMDB and that it said that it was based on a book. So I decided to read the book. I couldn't put the book down after I ordered the book online. After I finished the book I was trying to (Not really) waiting patiently. 2 years later after filming I finally saw the trailer Summer of 2019 and the movie was out on September 6, 2019. I tore the Internet apart looking for the movie. The movie was not even playing in my Movie Theatres. I gave up for a while, until... On January 14, 2020 I was spending the night with my nurse friend's. She showed me her internet box. So after we watched Maleficent 2 I decided to see if she gets the movie Strange, But True. You know how that ended lol. The movie sucked me in. I was not paying attention to anything around me. That is how much I was sucked into the movie and I loved it.  Just like the book sucked me in. The movie was worth the wait. I thought the movie followed the book very good.

I do remember before wanted to watch the movie I wanted to watch some movies that Margaret was in to see how well she act, plus I never seen her in anything. She was in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Connor Jessup is in the new Netflix Series, Locke & Key. I love both Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Locke & Key (I have a blogpost on both).

For anyone who doesn't know how I became a fan of Nick Robinson hear it is. In March of 2013 I watched an episode of Melissa & Joey after watching an episode of Baby Daddy at Squid's Cottage, cause moma and I didn't have ABC Spark and I really wanted to watch Baby Daddy. Then in July of 2015 I started watching Melissa & Joey more. After deciding that Taylor Spritiler (Lennox) was my favourite one, but I was getting drawn in to Nick Robinson (Ryder). In February of 2016 I went to go see The 5th Wave cause of Chloe Grace Moretz was in the movie. I came out being a huge fan of Nick Robinson. I decided to look up to see what else Nick played in. Turned out, what I found is he played in Frienemise in 2011 alongside Bella Thorne, Zendaya, & Dylan Everett. Later in 2016-2017 I watched Jurassic World, Kings Of Summer, Being Charlie, Everything Everything & Krystal. In October of 2017 I counted down to the days to Love Simon, that came out on March 16, 2018. I even dressed like Simon to go see the movie and I also wore my Love Simon shirt. Then I saw the movie 2 more times lol. I feel like after my moma died in 2015 my love for Nick Robinson grew. The reason I put this at the end of the blog is cause I wanted to not pull my love for Nick into my review and influence me in anyway of why I watched this movie. Yes- I saw that he played in this movie, but I didn't have to pick up the book by John Searles. I did, cause I wanted to and. I wanted to watch the movie.
