Yara Shahidi Brings Faint Glow To 'The Sun Is Also A Star'
Teen romances are sometimes only as good as their leads, and "The Sun is Also a Star" has a fine pair in "Black-ish's" Yara Shahidi and "Riverdale's" Charles Melton.
The movie, however -- which deals with true love and the universe putting people together -- could have given fate an assist by crafting a more substantial vehicle for them.
Based on Nicola Yoon's bestselling young-adult novel, the movie is most interesting as a look at two immigrant families -- one on the verge of being deported -- through the eyes of their teenage children.
That aspect takes a back seat, alas, to the dreamy love story.
What ensues, in a movie, is a series of seemingly beyond-coincidental encounters, as Natasha tries to find an attorney who might save her family from deportation.
While Daniel prepares for an alumni meeting to help secure a spot at Dartmouth that his education-minded parents want far more than he does.
