“Everything, Everything” (**1/2 out of four) was an overall engaging adaptation of Nicola Coon’s 2015 novel about a teenager (Amandla Stenberg) with a severe immunodisorder whose spent her entire life indoors who falls in love with a new boy next door (Nick Robinson) and attempts to venture outside to the world for the first time. Nicely done performances and chemistry between the two leads helps you to overlook numerous story contrivances and flaws which are often glaring (especially regarding the girl’s relationship with her mother and a final plot twist). Should please its young target audience and fans of Coon’s novel.
