After she nearly drowns, a young woman unexpectedly falls for the small-town lifeguard who rescued her. Based on the novel by Kate Marchant.
Float is directed by Sherren Lee which is her directorial debut.
Is this Wattpad Studios's best movie thus far? I think so, granted that's not exactly saying a whole lot but yes Float is an adaption of a Wattpad story by Kate Marchant. If the Wattpad studios logo didn't show up I probably would have never figured out it was an adaption because honestly this really plays out exactly like a generic romantic drama.
Andrea Bang and Robbie Amell give decent performances and the chemistry between the two is actually quite charming. There's plenty of cute moments that are just enough to make you actually care about their characters Waverly and Blake. The filming combined with the location ends up giving tons of beautiful shots that compliment the movie quite well and the direction from Sherren Lee is honestly not that bad as there are a few emotional moments between the two leads that are effective.
Everything else unfortunately is very middle of the road, the side characters are really not that interesting and the attempts of humor from them flat out miss. The writing as I said before is very generic romantic drama elements that never get through the "seen it and it's been done better" atmosphere.
There really isn't much else to be said here, I definitely think as far as a Wattpad adaption it's a masterpiece considering the other adaptions (After series, Kissing Booth, Perfect Addiction ect) but as far as a movie in general? It's on the very bland side of things.
Float is available on all VOD platforms.
