It's again a book adaptation movie that i haven't read its book... The first time i see this movie on a random instagram channel and it attracted my attention. Those rule stuff is a cliché which brings funny events all the time. Since the protagonist girl was not like a classic romance girl in the movies, i started watching it.

Second year of highschool... I don't know that's the power of that year but 10th grade is a 'turning point' for teenagers in general. Everything happens that year and you just... Let it happen, lol.

To be honest, there were somethings bother me a little bit like using too much clichés, sexist behaviors and those misbehaved teenager acts... Breaking rules all the time, being flirtatious and dating with everyone or buggering around etc. Basically which i found nonsense and dislike. Movies like that influence badly on young audiences. Highschool is a period which you should do whatever you can because you'll not be able to do them same again. However, not like this way please.

Probably i am just tired of these teenage drama things and now seeing them everywhere is boring me.  And most of the time, teenage rom-coms are consist of these actions. Unfortunately, there are a few examples for them which doesn't and well written.

Beside these unpleasant criticisms above, movie was funny and the lead roles were shipable* though. If you ask me, Noah Flynn wasn't behaving her like trash as classic f-boys do. He was more like... Trying not to fall for her but couldn't help it though. I am still thinking about their relationship because i couldn't understand it well while watching. Also, since i didn't read the book i wasn't able to understand how they exactly feel. This was a negative point for the movie from me.

(They are trying to hide from Brandon.)

Probably the only thing i've really liked about it was the relationship between Brandon Flynn and Elle Evans. It was cool and funny for me. I've seen and experienced familiar relationships before so i really felt their true friendship. Of course, the thing between Noah and Elle was about to ruin it but- Oh, no spoiler.

(They are truly having fun.)

So, in the end i can say that it is a movie that you can watch it when you need to have some fun and have plenty of free time.

My rating: 3/5

To All the Boys I've Loved Before

Genre: Romance, Dram

Duration: 99 mins

''All letters are out.''

This movie was pretty fun to watch though. To be honest, i didn't laugh too much and cannot say ''Oh, it was hella amazing!'' but worth to watch because of its fiction. It was pretty creative and original idea. I mean you are writing letters to all the boys you've loved before and one day, they are all gone to those boys. What happens then?

As long as i know, it was a movie adaptation from a book, right? I didn't read it because i don't usually read 'teenager romance and slice-of-life' kinds of stuff but since i liked the idea, it must be good.

I had no idea about the cast of the movie. Only some of them were familiar to me from some TV series that i've watched before 2013 lol. Also there was a viner guy. So, i wouldn't have any prejudge or fangirl feelings for any of them which makes my review more accurate.

(Best starters for relationships, rule 1. 'Run your car over him.')

The first part where i found funny was that how [I am not gonna use his name since it is spoiler] tall guy reacted. That silly boy thought himself so special from the beginning and actually i found him kinda right because of an old event between him and her.

''Hold on. Stop, stop. I am not the only guy that got a letter?'' says the tall guy with broken-ego.

''Wow, you are really think that you're special, than you find out she wrote love letters to two guys.'' says the tall guy with broken-ago. Well actually it is 5 guys, buddy.

After that confrontation, he comes up with a brilliant (!) opinion. 

Well, you'll see it when you watch it though.

(This was a good move for me by the way and cute.)

Also this scene below was funny to me because he had some points that she doesn't have and she had some points that he doesn't have. So, finding those things and making each other experience them was a nice thought. 

Maybe the only thing i didn't like was... The main girl character was uhm... naive. That's one of the romance stuff clichés which i dislike. Except this thing, i've like most of the side characters. Their relationships between protagonist were satisfying enough. Not like the side characters come in a time then gone forever.

Oh, and there's one more negative point from me. Many of events and situations were expected. If you are guru-like thing in these issues, you can easily guess rest of the movie from the beginning. This might be kinda unpleasant for some of audiences. 

To sum up, the movie has some dramatic issues, teenage chaos and sister affairs in general but not in a boring level. Whenever you have free time, you can watch this movie.

My rating: 3/5
