Analysis

The romance between the characters grows increasingly sad as we know it will not last. The movie is a loose adaptation of the book since many storylines about the side characters were omitted. It took away from the charm of the original story.

Verdict

The Sun Is Also A Star is a modern-day love story mixed with elements of fate and destiny. The story had potential, but the execution fell flat. Although the movie has a few charming aspects, it cannot keep the viewers hooked until the end. If you like slow romance, it might be worth watching. However, if you prefer practical love stories, this one is not for you.
