  • Who's winning the PR war in the ongoing legal battle between "It Ends With Us" co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively? Possibly neither of them, legal experts say, as people -- whether they're in the industry or not -- grow increasingly weary of their war of words and lawsuits of the past month.

The article from MSN discusses the public relations battle surrounding the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel "It Ends With Us." The film has faced significant backlash due to several controversial decisions. Firstly, the casting of Blake Lively as Lily Bloom, who is supposed to be in her early twenties in the book but is significantly older in real life, has not sat well with fans. Additionally, the choice of Justin Baldoni, who is also directing, to play Ryle, has stirred debate. Another point of contention is the film's costume design, particularly a scene where Lively's character wears an outfit that many fans found jarringly out of character. The article also touches on Hoover's response to the criticism, where she has tried to engage with fans, explaining her vision and the changes made for the adaptation. Despite these efforts, the overall reception has been mixed, with some fans feeling that the essence of the book is being lost in translation to film, leading to a PR challenge for the movie's team as they attempt to win back audience favor.
