Cha Cha Real Smooth

**Falling in love is easy. Growing up is hard.**

Dang! This was sad.
I mean good sad.

Really loved this movie - easy fun, genuine and honest, not over the top uncomfortable or too long, very endearing and just right. Godspeed Cooper Raiff - keep up the good work, can't wait to see where you take us next.

Superb acting. Charming, honest, funny and beautifully romantic. Cooper Raif and Dakota Johnson on screen feels so warm and unexpectedly vulnerable. Wow! Do yourself a favor and watch this film.

I really enjoyed it, there's so much heart behind.
Each one of the different connections is dealt with sensitivity and delicacy, so it's not some generic coming of age - there's his younger brother's coming of age and growth which pairs with Andrew's (scaled to the respective ages), Lola's growth, Andrew's relationship with his mum and the surprising Greg, with Domino of course...
Each character shows their fragilities in a coherent way, not for the sake of drama or plot development (Joseph would be so easy to place as the "villain", [spoiler] while he himself turns out different than expected [/spoiler] ).
There are surprisingly insightful moments even from smaller characters.

No such movie is a new one in its concept, but this specific one shows that by putting your own view and heart inside, you can make a compelling and touching and funny story and that's all that really matters. Even if different in the tone, Booksmart gave me a similar sense of freshness for example.

Great job by Mr. Raiff, looking forward to see his next works

This was a particularly impressive film. Cooper Raiff created a tremendous screenplay, and the actors chosen for their respective roles were certainly worthy of their given tasks. This film brought out exceptional performances from all involved, especially Vanessa Burghardt, co-starring in her first film, and Leslie Mann, who just kills it in everything that she's in. She really gets far less credit than she deserves for her level of talent. And, of course, Dakota Johnson was fantastic in her role, as well, which covered a great deal of emotional ground.

What set this film apart from others like it in its genre was its realism. While the protagonist, played quite capably by Cooper Raiff, began the film as a bright-eyed, hopeful, recent college grad looking at a world of opportunities, he quickly came to the realization that life outside of college couldn't always be planned for, and we, as the audience, began to see the cracks in the facade of not only his character but also those in his life. And, that's what makes for a great character, their problems, how they deal w/ them, and what the outcome ends up looking like.

In this film, what turned out to be in the end [spoiler]wasn't necessarily what we may have expected, but then again, that's how life works. That's what was so realistic about this film. Life can often be sad or melancholy, and sometimes, we'll have feelings of ambivalence or unrequited love. None of this makes our lives worth any less. It's simply another of life's many lessons along the journey, and that's the splendor of experiencing living.[/spoiler]

So much chemistry between the two leads! The relationships between all characters were so well crafted and flawless. It's so much more than a simple love story it also tackles family. I especially loved the bond between the two brothers and the mother-son moments. Cooper Raiff is equally talented as both director and actor he has so much charisma. Dakota Johnson is great as always!

Sweet, Sentimental, Realistic

Cha Cha Real Smooth is a sweet, charming, and sentimental coming-of-age dramedy that easily resonates with the current generation. Cooper Raiff is charismatic and delightful to watch on screen. He handles all emotions naturally and his performance speaks much louder as his ache felt personal. He is just a natural. Filled with elements of waggish humor, the heartwarming drama is something you tend to crave at times. When you just write a film from your heart it doesn't need to be always mesmerizing but sometimes soulful and Cha Cha Real Smooth here takes it name damn too seriously.

Dakota is such a beauty, She js too good. Cooper is marvelous throughout. Loved each and every conversation Cooper has throughout the film and that sparkling chemistry between Cooper and Dakota is a key factor why I really enjoyed the film. Overall, if you are bored with the genre exercises of cinema across the globe and want to watch something which makes you smile and get teary-eyed, led by a charming newcomer cum director, Cha Cha Real Smooth is the deal to seal.

my man Cooper Raif, like Shithouse this film shines in it’s simplicity.

i loved it, a pretty realistic movie .. the characters were very fun as well but mostly i loved how it's really real

That was a great coming-of-age film. I think what makes it stand out was the sincerity with which every character is written. There's a lot of heart in this. All of the characters felt real. I have to say that it had one of the more authentic portrayals of someone with autism.

With no knowledge of what the movie was, except it getting praise from random sources, I quite enjoyed this simple, very Sundance style movie. It’s plot remains small and impactful, while relying on the character developments, their relationships, and the quality of the performances. Firstly- the leads killed it . Secondly- the characters are all so real and believably written. It’s surely going to be one of those movies that you might feel that extra connection and LOVE this movie because of it. Would definitely recommend this one!

Rating: 4/5 - 8.5/10 - Would Recommend
