Did anyone else HATE Sam?


OMG I seriously want to slap her. I hate girls like her, who literally know their guy isn't into them as much as they are, yet they try and force it on them. She was so needy and never got mad at him. She drove me crazy!!! She also obviously knew how much Jacob loved Anna yet she still just would not go away like ahhh!

I didn't care for her either. I know some people felt bad for her that Jacob kicked her out -- twice -- to not only date, but MARRY Anna, but Sam should have realized his heart wasn't hers. Especially the second time.

except jacob didn't love anna anymore at this point in the movie.

he just let himself get carried along.

yeahhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm not sure about you but I felt so sad for Sam. And she's Jennifer Lawrence as well so....

I'm sure Jacob was normal around Sam 99% of the time. We're shown the scenes where he randomly gets a message from Anna or something else happens which makes him think about how much he misses her. He was doing his best to move on and if Anna never reached out to him it seems like he could have managed it

I actually liked Sam a lot more than I did Anna. I fell in love with the idea of Anna and Jacob because it was expected with how cute they were. But Anna was asking way too much of Jacob with the waiting, then leaving again, then more waiting while he developed feelings for Sam in the meantime then popping back up again expecting him to drop everything once again for her.

Sam was never pushy with Jacob because she never felt the need to make him do anything he wasn't ready or wanted to do like Anna. I think she was very selfish to take claim of Jacob like that but he wouldn't have gone back to her if he hadn't wanted to be claimed.

I felt so sorry for Sam who didn't want to be caught in the middle, but I'm sure it was Jacob running back to Sam when Anna disappeared. She's a woman. She has feelings. And Jacob is a man...who doesn't mind stomping on her feelings to stumble back to Anna.

So bump Anna! And bump Jacob!

No, I didn't hate her. She knows about love better than Jacob and Anna. Anna was completely upset that he dated another girl while they were only on break. Sam probably wanted non-serious relationship with him and fully understand that he still loves her. Even after break-up, he wanted to try again with Sam. Sam ruined the love because he didn't go to London if he truly loved her, he simply should have.
