Garoto Marmelada (2018)

This was truly enjoyable from start to finish.

I’ll admit, the whole idea of “swapping parents” may be a bit confusing, but you’ll understand it.
The production was just amazing and gave a nice warm feeling with the atmosphere. It’s been a while since I’ve watched a Japanese film that gives off the same feeling as this one.

I’m sure this film left out some parts that were in the anime & drama, but all movie adaptations tend to have to squeeze in the original into a few hours, and this was really good in the eyes of a new viewer of the story like me.

Would I recommend? Definitely! It’s not too cheesy, which can be frequent in a lot of Japanese movies imo. The plot is not too cliche and keeps you thinking about what will happen in the end- which I was satisfied with too!

I've been waiting a long time to watch this. Like the majority of people on here, I was such a huge fan of the anime and manga in my childhood. The story might shock and make a weird first impression for some, but I was already acquainted with the whole storyline. Basically: a dysfunctional Asian family (what's new drama world, huh?), "forbidden" love, high school life and lots of misunderstandings. As I remembered, the anime was quite long, but the story was so captivating, even the side stories of other characters. Naturally, it's difficult to squeeze in 50+ episode worth of story into a 2 hour movie, therefore, the movie was missing lots of key scenes from the original plot. This should've been made into a live drama adaptation. However, from a more positive view, I did enjoy the cinematic and the warm colors, the leads and their acting (surprisingly). Personally, I'd say it's an OK movie, better than an average shojo manga adaptation.

Would I suggest watching this? Sure, if you were a fan of the originals. But if are intrigued by the abnormal storyline, definitely start from the manga and climb your way up to this movie.

Unreasonable turn in this movie .All I can say it is one-time watch .Twist in relationship .Boy and girl fall in love know about the matter that their parents switch the partners and getting married then twist enter which lead to sad and slow story and the truth is unfold with the truth at some point I got confused ,now I am not understand that their parents continue their relationship with switch partner or for their children sake they remain with their original partner.complicated ending .Maybe I got confusion because I didn't understand last part of subtitle well or may be not.
