Plot
Teenager Natasha Kingsley is fiercely fighting against the deportation of her family to Jamaica. Hopeless romantic Daniel Bae is preparing for an interview at Dartmouth. Both bear a burden of problems on their shoulders. What happens when fate brings these two strangers together? Daniel bets Natasha that he can make her fall in love with him in one day. But with Natasha and her family bound to leave America very soon, their romance feels like a race against the clock. The Sun Is Also a Star is a beautiful story about fate and destiny.

skyline, and cheesy dialogues. It tries to shed light on the struggles of immigrants in America. 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.
