Big on hugs and scant on plot, the gentle, hazy script is jolted by dramatic moments that are quickly ushered away unresolved as if to shrug, that's life.

With solid performances and genuine heart at its center, Clouds flies a little higher than most sick-teen YA movies.

"Clouds" has all the makings of a profound and powerful heart-tugger. So why isn't it more wholly moving and cathartic?

Despite its poignant true-life subject matter, the emotional swings feel more manipulative than authentic.

Fin Argus and Sabrina Carpenter make CLOUDS worth watching while reminding humanity to cherish yourself and your loved ones every day as tomorrow is not guaranteed. So inspiring and simultaneously heartbreaking lovingly directed by Justin Baldoni

This film is particularly perceptive on the issue of what it means to try to be 'normal' under excruciatingly painful circumstances.

First, it is a true story. Second, it is a fascinating look at how one young man faces adversity and turns lemons into lemonade.

"Clouds" comes at a time when our emotions are all over the place and we could use a good cry. It's hard to explain why certain movies touch you more than others, but in this case it's best not to fight those feelings and let the story wash over you.

Director Justin Baldoni's young-adult romance knows exactly which audience it's playing to, and accomplishes much of what it sets out to do: break your heart, while leaving you humming a sorrowful-yet-catchy tune.

It's a sob story indeed, but where Clouds goes right is giving viewers an equal amount of fighting and living with something substantial to take away from all of the schmaltz
