 what's up guys welcome back to my channel or hello if you are new here today i'm gonna be doing the to all the boys i've loved before review i've never seen you so happy now if you didn't know i've already done a full like reaction commentary track you can go and watch it there'll be a link at the end of the video and the description um basically in that video i just react to it and you can watch the movie with me if you would like to today we're gonna be going into it and talking about the film and my thoughts on it how compared to the book the book and all of that so later on in the video there will be spoilers but for now it's gonna be pretty spoiler free so if you just want to know whether you should watch the movie or not um stick around because i have a lot to say about it that doesn't contain spoilers so yeah i'll let you know when the spoilers are coming so as a film as a whole film i really enjoyed it and i really loved the way it was structured out i think the film had a really nice like flow to it in the romcom category i think that it sort of reinvented what teen romcoms were in my opinion i think one of my favorite parts about the film was like the overall like flow of it and um it kept me interested throughout the entire thing i think there's been some films especially from netflix where it's just so uninteresting like it's so like hard to watch and i usually end up not watching it or skipping parts or blah blah blah but in this netflix original i think that it had a nice speed and tone to the whole film that definitely kept you interested throughout it and not to mention the plot's just really interesting too it's a new take on romcoms it's reinventing the romcom category and i'm really just living for that i watched a lot of netflix films and one thing is that netflix makes beautifully shot films i think that's one of the best things about netflix is that everything's shot with super high quality and they take a lot of time in the production value of things but sometimes the writing does not match the quality of a film yeah there's cool scenery shots and you know the coloring's really dope and the editing's nice but then it's like the writing and the plot is complete garbage but i finally found a film where the quality of the production matches the quality of the writing and it complemented each other really really well so without spoiling it and trying to tell you how i thought compared to the book i think it actually compared really well obviously they took out some stuff and they added different things for me when i see book adaptation films it doesn't really matter to me if it's spot on that's never really been something that i get super angry about i always think of the film as its own story in a sense but i think it did the book justice i think included the parts that made the book what it is but i think the changes they made really made it fit today's society almost and the world we live in now because the book was written in 2011 or something it was written in like 2011 and obviously things have changed since then so i love the little changes they made that kind of made it fit for 2018 specifically the cast did a fantastic job i thought lana and noah's chemistry was absolutely amazing i think they really connected with each other and had a good dynamic throughout the film the thing is their chemistry had to be spot on because you know these two characters like it just it just had to be spot on i feel like lana and noah already have sort of similar personalities to peter and laura jean that it all ended up working really well but not even just their chemistry i think the actual like side characters and uh everyone else in the cast did a really good job at portraying their roles too one of my favorite characters was lucas i don't feel like a lot of people are talking about lucas because i know he's not like super high up role but i always really liked him in the book and i always really liked when him and laura jean would have scenes together because i really love their friendship i think the actor that played lucas did a really good job i'll get more into characters later before i get into spoilers and the scenes that i liked and individual characters and all that stuff i'm gonna talk about kind of what this film meant to have an asian american in a lead role in a rom com is like really special and not only just to be the lead but for asian to not be the whole plot because i feel like whenever there's an asian lead in something or asian character all they are is asian they don't have a personality aside from that and that's that's it now there is times where that can be great and it can be really good to bring awareness to you know how asian americans live and all that say in crazy rich asians it's literally all about you know the asian american life i think for young asian americans it's important to just see someone like you without their whole story being surrounded around their race for me it was the first time i've ever seen someone so like me in a film that i could truly relate to and i feel like one of the reasons why i related to her so much obviously it's because of the race but just her personality in general a lot of young asian girls have grown up basically without themselves being represented and anytime they are represented it kind of just comes and bites you in the ass really because then that one representation is what everyone identifies you as it's not always the case but a lot of times when there's like one asian in the spotlight it's great but all the same time like for everyone around you that's like all they see you as they see you as that one asian so say for me what's her name brandis song on disney channel i loved her but then growing up that's all you are to people you're just brand the song you know it's not an insult it's not a bad thing but it's hard to only be seen as one thing from people almost for them to have an expectation of you before they even get to know you anytime we see representation of ourselves it's always like to the extreme of like sci-fi our action star or something like that it's never really been in this romantic sense and i'm so happy that it finally is because it's important that young asian girls can see that you know they can be the love interest too and i'm kind of just going on like this ramble about it but i just wanted to talk about it a little bit because i think it's extremely important because it was important for me to see a character that i related to to so much and someone that also looked like me meant a lot okay moving on to spoiler parts and scenes that i liked in characters that i wanted to talk about so if you haven't seen the movie go watch the movie because this is where it's going to get spoilery laur gene's relatability was one of the best parts of the film you really felt you could connect with her through this film just like you did in the book in the book i felt so connected with her and then in the film i also felt like this connection i also felt this connection with her in the movie peter kevinsky i i just i liked it i think that in the book he kind of like i don't know i feel like in the book he was a little bit less likeable which sounds bad but i feel like just in the film he had this like charm and essence to him that was really just it was just working you know what i'm saying it was just it was just working and uh he was like likeable in the books but like also like in some parts i was like well what are you doing like what's happening i think in the book why he was a little bit less likeable is because he was like really caught up on jen in the book which i feel like in the movie he wasn't like he was like not as much you know what i'm saying like and in the movie he wasn't late to pick her up or they didn't like emphasize that he was late to pick her up or anything so that in the book really annoyed me when he was like always late because i was like that's just like rude like stop doing that you know but yeah i really liked his charm it really made me fall in love with peter kevinsky even more you know what i'm saying josh's shift from the book everybody liked josh's movie so much more than i liked him in the book i think one of the reasons why they liked him more in the movie was because he didn't confess and didn't kiss larjean he's kind of like really annoying in the book and kind of is very like what was me all the time and like you couldn't sympathize with him in the book because i was like shut it but in the movie i think you could sympathize with him a little bit more i think why i liked josh more in the movie was also even after larjean like kind of cut him off and kind of cut him out of her life he was still there to talk to her when she needed him to and he was the one that talked to her before she goes off to peter it was very much like a besties you know like i feel like they're just like best friends and i i liked that jenna veave jenna veave white devil i was just you know amazed by how unlikable she was like the actress did an amazing job at just being unlikable in the movie like she just really gave that like evil like tang to jenna veave and i think it just worked really well i think in the book she was a little bit more like subtle about it all not that subtle but like a little bit more subtle but like in the movie like she was a little freaking like i said white devil like she was just not like she it's a no from me i've always had some sort type of opinion on margo um i kept calling her margaret when i was watching the film i don't know why um but i've always had some sort of opinion on margo like i like her but i don't and i understand her but i don't it's always been kind of this love-hate relationship with margo i think that she has some really good qualities and then some weird ones that i just can't can't relate to you know like but i understand why she's like that how she's very protective and very almost not controlling but a little bit more like strict than everyone else because she kind of had to be like the mom and have more responsibilities sooner than she should have and then like i understand why she did it to josh but then it's also like oh that's really mean but it's like oh but i was like i understand why you did it but it's also like oh like talk about my favorite scenes from the film let's talk about any convincing kiss i don't even know how you say their ship name because it just sounds like peter's last name kovinsky kovinsky kovinsky kovinsky sounds the same to me anyways any larjean and peter kiss loved it their chemistry like i said was amazing so when they kissed it was just it just worked i like their second kiss a lot on the lacrosse field it was just it just was funny because she was like let's do this and then he just didn't say anything and had this like smirk on his face and then just like smooched her and i was like boy why are you so loud like what like what the what and i was just like in in the middle of practice like wow he's really bold he's really out there doing that and his face when when lar's making the freaking contract and then she's like no kissing he's like he looks so freaking sad i was like boy this ain't no fake relationship if you know what i mean the two serious talks that larjean and peter had in the diner and then at his house i think those two talks were really important because it showed that they had a lot to relate to each other with you know peter's dad leaving and then larjean's mom dying i think the way that they handled larjean's mom and this was really good they included it in a way that was really well done in my opinion i think it just worked well they didn't try to like force it into like random scenes like my mom died i feel like there's a lot of times where people like have like a parent death in a movie and then all of a sudden they just like blurt it out sometimes and like doesn't work with the scenes but when they were talking about it i think it went really well because she explains why she's afraid of letting people into her life and caring about too many people because you know they could leave or you know something could happen to them like her mom and then she also explains in diner like you know love and reading about love is cool and it's interesting it's fascinating but like the actual real thing is really scary commitment is scary and blah blah blah and i think that's really like i really felt that you know what i'm saying like it was really it was really well worded and well spoken you know what i'm saying and that whole diner scene where then he's like oh you say you're afraid of commitment but like you said a contract to like date me and then she's like what's because we're pretending and then he's like he's like he looks like he's about to freaking burn down the whole building he looks so mad he was like wow larjean so honest i was like dude you can't just like do that you can't just like switch your you know attitude like that was so weird it was literally just like oh well larjean's just so honest the most honest of them all i was like damn like calm down like it's been a month chill out like what are you doing the second like serious talk they had at his house was also one of my favorites i think it just it had this sincerity to it and then like no one honest acting in it was also really good so i don't know i feel like those like deep talks that they had and serious like things like it was genuine and like it was very sincere while watching it so i enjoyed that also i thought they were about to freaking kiss the whole when they were at peter's house and like at the end where they're just like looking at each other and they're just like having some eye contact and i was like are they gonna kiss me they're like that's crazy but they didn't so obviously i love the party scene i think it was so good i think it was just it was really fun seeing the party you know the part where he takes out her scrunchie and then he's wearing her scrunchie and it's just like on his wrist like all the time but like it was so like annoying when jen just like took it off of his wrist and he was just like hey don't take that come on give it back like not even trying to get it back but i guess like it would the only way to get it out would be to like yank it out of her hair oh the first kovinsky fight i loved that scene and like i didn't love it but i loved it because i love drama so it all happens you know they're on the bleachers she's underneath the bleachers she overhears them blah blah and then she's going to talk to josh and then he gets really upset that she's talking to josh and he's like what the fuck kovie what are you doing and then they talk and they have this fight and she's like let's just let's just like cut the contract like you know you're getting back together with jen and then i'm talking to josh like everything's okay like we can just end this i mean she did not say it that chill she was like a little bit stressed about it you know a little bit a little bit more passion than that you know i really liked that scene i just was like who's gonna tell them it's fake you know what i'm saying and it's mostly peter jabbing at the fact that it's not fake because he does it in the diamond and doesn't this seem to where he's like oh you tell me and it's like it's kind of him like poking the bear to see like it's not fake you know what i'm saying and he gets very upset that you know she wouldn't go on the ski trip with him he's like it's in the contract you can't just not go on the ski trip with me she was like it's just like a really weird thing because in the book like when they're talking about the ski trip it's very like casual and it's very just like oh like come on like blah blah blah but in this one it was like how could you just like not go to the ski trip with me like that's so freaking rude why would you do that but i loved that fight scene it was very passionate on both sides and i was like dang who's gonna tell both of them that it's not fake someone better say something because i'm gonna jump through this screen and freaking leap into their world and tell them myself ski trip i i loved because there was tension between them in the ski trip because she didn't sit next to him on the freaking bus and there's tension she's not hanging out with him and then lucas tells her to go down and you know go to the hot tub with him and then the iconic hot tub scene happens and in the hot tub scene before that scene before that scene happens you know they have their talk and they're talking about it and he's like i drove across town to get the freaking yogurt you like and then she's like what all the way across town boy and then he's like yeah why do you think what someone would do that and she's like oh my god they must like really really need that yogurt like they really need that freaking dairy you know and he's like not what i was thinking but like it's okay like i guess we're gonna have to be a bit more blunt about you know this instead of giving a yogurt analogy on to caring about people you know we gotta actually say it we can't just bring up yogurt and think that larjean will know that we like her you know so that's like going through his head or whatever um they have all this thing and she like takes off our coat she goes into the hot tub with her night out on the world like she is so bold like she's really out there like what a freaking badass you know like going into the hot tub with her night out on she's like i didn't bring a suit um and also for all my peeps uh that watched my book review about it there was no person under the water giving them a blow job so you know what i'm kind of glad i didn't because there was no speculation while watching that there was someone under the water giving them a blow job you know i think that the only way you could speculate that is through the pages you know it's just not the same in a movie you know it was an overhead shot you could see the water there's no one there you know just how it's just how it is that stupid thought can only be thought while reading just that's just how it is you know she walks over in the hot tub and then he freaking like swol he sweeps her up like whoosh and then she's like in his lap and then they're kissing and i was like what and he was like there's no one like you kofi and i was like what the fuck like and the way like Noah's voice is and it's like a little bit like hoski or whatever it was really all like working and i thought i was gonna pass out while watching that scene like that was so just like it was just it was it was really iconic it was truly amazing and it was everything i needed from the hot tub scene and more you know i'm saying literally like the definition of a hot steamy makeup you know and then when they get out of the hot tub and they're like he's like walking her back to her dorm and then they have a little kiss he like she's like walking away and then he like pulls her back and i was like y'all are so loud right now like y'all don't have to be this cute but you are you are being this cute like you didn't have to be that cute but you just are and then she like goes on to those and gives them a kiss and then they like walk off and they're just like having some like eye sex like sex with their eyes like looking at each other like that it was a moment of eye contact and i really liked it it was a really good scene that one i'm not gonna say and then jen talks to her and that whole debacle goes down she tells her that she has the scrunchie or whatever and that peter visited her room lodging it's mad yells at peter says i'd rather walk home than get in the car with you all that stuff and then fast forward a little bit more then he comes over to her house and he talks to her and like all this stuff is happening and when she says it out loud and she's like i was just second best i was just fake best and i was like we like slow down like no no no no no like whenever she says that to him and he's just like no no no no no like he's like no no no no no no no you were never second best you were never fake best no and then freaking serial killer josh comes up behind her and he's just like she told her to leave i was like shut up josh get the fuck out of here they're all they're yelling at each other and then he's like you still love josh and i was like where did that come from he literally just swooped up behind her and like was like you better leave and then peter like got the conclusion that she's still like josh which is like really weird like i don't know where that correlation came from with like hooded guy comes up behind her and then he's like you like josh what the fuck and then margo and kitty are watching and then margo gets really upset and she's like you love josh where where i just don't know why she got upset because then it's like kind of like you dumped him like and like what's the big deal like she didn't act on it so it's not like i don't get what she would be that mad when it's like she didn't act on her feelings the letters got sent out by someone else and yeah like i don't get why margo was so upset but like whatever peter walks up and he's like you were never second best girl and then like just slides away like larging looks at josh and then he's like i didn't know she was home and he says it like i don't know why but he sounded like a complete dumbass when he said that he was like i didn't know she was home and i was like okay and then all the stuff happens and we have the sister moments which is like really fun you know song girls forever and then i loved the diner scene with her and her dad and i loved the when he talked about her mom i just i really liked it i think it was just a good well done scene especially with the picture and little jukebox or whatever that was next to it and the song everybody wants to rule the world like good song i really loved the relationship they had in the film so kudos to them on that scene because it was pretty dang good and then the talk that josh and larging had before she finally goes back to peter i really liked because she kind of explains it all and kind of was like basically telling josh that the feelings she had for him like weren't true like weren't actually like love you know what i'm saying like it was love but not the way she loved peter i think that was a really important scene to see because it showed that like she said she's been in love x amount of times you know she has the letters but like nothing was like how it was with peter after actually being together with him i think that was a really good scene because it kind of explained her sort of feelings and how like it compared so like yeah like i i loved you josh but like it's not the same way i love peter like this that real shit i don't i don't know she was basically saying i was a fool thinking i liked you like i was a mess so like don't feel flattered because i don't even like you anymore loser just kidding and then the ending scene i loved the ending scene i love that she had the no i love that peter said uh if you want me to have that note you have to give it to me i liked that because it made it so she took initiative and it was kind of hurt and control the situation on whether she wanted to go through with it or not and tell him or not i think that was one of the parts i really liked it was like you have to give this to me if you want me to see it you know what i'm saying and she tells him she's like i think i like you in not enough fake way and i was like wow a true shakespeare i i love that and then peter tells her you know the only reason why i went to jen's room that night is because i was telling her is over i cut that hoe off she's not a hoe she's just mean okay she's not hoe she's just mean but he was just like i told her things were done like we're over bitch and then he was like because i'm in love with the you larjean it was like he was trying to one up her she was like i think i like you and he was like oh bet i i love you how about that how about that i love you now what are you gonna say to that but i thought it was i thought it was great and i i was taking a back and i was like he really did that you know what i'm saying he really did that he really was that bold and that loud with the l word you know what i'm saying i mean they kiss and he's like you want to break my heart covey and i was like it's insane how much i love them both and it's insane how whipped i am for both of them you know their love is so pure they're literally hetero excellence i can't stand how much i love them you know what i'm saying like that ending scene ruined me and then the kiss were so long and it was so freaking it was it was a kiss that's for dang sure and then they walk off in a lacrosse field together like they walk off into the semi sunset i don't know how it wasn't even a sunset but they walked off together and i was like give us the sequel we need the freaking sequel and the scene of john at the end in the in the credits i was a give us a sequel we need the damn sequel give us the sequel we deserve the damn sequel please like i would i will admit there were some parts that were left out from the book that i would have enjoyed in the film i would have loved to have the halloween scene in the film i would have loved to have the antique furniture shopping in the film and seeing peters on store like i would have loved to see and all that but like it's okay that it's not in it because maybe you know in the second movie we'll get those scenes there's probably a bunch of scenes in the book that weren't included that a lot of people wanted to see but like it's okay because the film was still just a great film like it still had to all the boys i love for essence it was still the same story and i loved it that they changed the ending the ending they pulled was from the beginning of ps i love you i'm instead of leaving to all the boys i love before at a cliffhanger like they did in the book because they could have done us dirty by that and just you know ending the film with dear peter like they did in that motherfucking book but they did it and they had it as a nice closure to it but also left it like the ending credit scene too hopefully you know hint at a sequel you know i'm saying i want to keep seeing the story i want to keep seeing these characters story be told because i think they're really interesting and they're worth telling you know what i'm saying i know i didn't cover everything i know this wasn't a good review i know i'm not good at reviewing i say that all the time because i don't want people thinking i'm some movie critic when i'm not and i don't know how to review movies i just like talking about them with you guys let me know your thoughts on the film and the comment section down below um let me know your favorite scenes you know how it compared to the book i want to know all your thoughts so like let me know you know what i'm saying let's keep watching to all the boys love before because i really want a sequel so the only way we're gonna get that sequel is if we keep watching it so encourage everyone to watch it like at least once a day like it's good for your health it's good for your you know mind so yeah watch it once a day and i think you'll gain superpowers actually anyways peace out my dudes uh i will see you next time here the end slate
