Love, Rosie, the "brilliant" romantic drama starring Lily Collins and Sam Claflin, is now streaming for free in the UK. Released in 2014, the film stars Collins and Claflin as childhood best friends Rosie and Alex, respectively.

Just as they prepare to leave their small British town for Boston together to attend university, Rosie discovers she is pregnant after a one-night stand.

Alex leaves for Harvard while Rosie stays in the UK to raise her child, and the friends navigate their separate lives over the next 12 years, including marriages and relationships, all while Rosie questions whether they were meant to be more than just good friends.

The logline reads: "Rosie and Alex have been best friends since they were 5, so they couldn't possibly be right for one another... or could they? When it comes to love, life and making the right choices, these two are their own worst enemies."

The film, based on Cecelia Ahern's 2004 novel Where Rainbows End, also stars Christian Cooke, Tamsin Egerton, Suki Waterhouse, Jamie Beamish and Jaime Winstone.

Directed by Christian Ditter and written by Juliette Towhidi, Love, Rosie was recently added to YouTube, where it's free to watch with ads.

"Overall, the film succeeds in finding the heart and soul for its characters for the audience to relate with, despite its shortcomings. It's a lovely, heartfelt film that doesn't disappoint and it's well worth a watch," penned another.

Another user said of the film: "Yes, what you think is gonna happen, will happen. Yet it doesn't make the movie less good than it is. Lily and Sam's chemistry is great, and you can feel that throughout the entire movie. Their acting is also really good I really liked it, give it a shot."
