To All the Boys: Always and Forever (2021)

The plot is basically nothing, I have no idea how someone could make a movie out of this.

Fmovies: For context, I am a 28-year-old male who has never seen the previous movies. (My wife wanted to watch it for Valentine's Day). I am not the target demographic, but I did enjoy the movie.

The acting is good, the writing is actually good, and the cinematography is surprisingly excellent! It's a little too sweet overall, but it is a fairly easy film to watch.

It's nothing over-the-top, but the movies does not do anything wrong in my opinion.

This film is not exciting, not funny, not really very romantic, not educational, not trhilling, not suspensful, I just cannot really see the point of it.

I have seen the previous 2 films, the 1st one was lovely, I liked it. The second was already meh and now the third is the worst one in my opinion.

Sure, the scenery was lovely, the actors were the same sweet people we were used to and they kind of had a logical storyline. But. It was boring, it really was. I wanted to enjoy this, but instead I found myself thinking of other movies I should watch instead, other feel-good entertaining movies. This was not very entertaining to me unfortunately.

To All the Boys: Always and Forever fmovies. I'm annoyed that it was the EXACT same plot as the last two-super cute in the beginning, a break up in the middle, and then a super cute make up at the end. Just substitute NYU for John Ambrose and you got the same movie.

I gave it a 6 because, like the other two, the cinematography, costume design, music, and actors were so damn likeable! Although, I would expect a Hollywood hair stylist to figure out extensions by now-the hair was driving me crazy.

Overall, I REALLY wanted to like this, but it just felt like I was rewatching the same movie over and over.

The first film in the franchise wasn't anything groundbreaking, but still felt fresh. The second installment was, in my opinion, a major downgrade, particularly in terms of character development. Now we have come to the conclusion of the trilogy, and a movie that feels just like a hundred teen romance dramas that have come before it.

The main criticism is that this movie doesn't implement anything that hasn't been done before. Really, from the second the plot of the movie becomes apparent, anyone who has ever seen a movie will be able to guess what happens. It's a simple story of 'girl loves boy, but girl receives a huge opportunity that forces her to choose between her own life and her relationship'. Some standard awkward situations follow, that could as always be so easily avoided if the characters possessed even a lick of common sense. The couple breaks up, realizes they do still love each other, and eventually decide to try and work things out. Doesn't that sound familiar?

The saving grace of the movie are still its characters however. Lara Jean is a charming, kind and positive spirit, while Peter distinguishes himself as a supportive and caring boyfriend. The Covey family dynamic, and their Korean roots, are fleshed out even further, and deservedly so. It's the little interactions between the characters that give the movie most of its charm.

The actors do a fine job, and the cinematography and camerawork deserve some applause as well. The humor in the film is fine, but also feels derivative of other teen comedies.

All in all, this movie is by no means the worst of its kind. It has its moments and several positive aspects, but it falls flat in simply providing nothing that original or new to the genre or movies in particular.

Better plot than the second, but not as interesting as the first one. Acting and cinematography is good and consistent with the other films.
