Day 236 of the challenge! To All the Boys I've Loved Before is a teenager's masterpiece (and incredibly frustrating for me).
Rather than write a review or list off what I did and didn't like, I figured I'd share the conversation I had with a friend while I was watching it. Sums up my feeling pretty well. Cheers!
TM bullied me into watching “To All the Boys I've Loved Before”...
Adrian
ITS SO CUTE
DM
I enjoyed it a lot 😂 that girl was the typical pushover quiet girl
DM
I...I can’t.
Adrian
Didn’t think it’d be your thing hahaha
DM
But it’s a cute movie, I wanted to cry
DM
:|
Adrian
How did TM bully you into watching it tho?
DM
She was very insistent I watch it for some reason
Adrian
Well... it’s good. Are you watching it rn?
DM
Yea
Adrian
Best part so far is when they’re watching The Golden Girls
Adrian
What part are you on?
DM
They’re making the contract
Adrian
And actually falling for each other
Adrian
You didn’t want to hurt the sister for the letters?
DM
She’s the character I like the most to be honest
Adrian
I loved her too, but was Also pissed as hell
DM
Yea
Adrian
That’s wasn’t cool
Adrian
But it’s like she knew she’s a character in a teen romcom, so it’s ok
Adrian
Hahaha it really was like she knew
DM
Like the Dad too
Adrian
Same, He was such a cool guy
DM
Honestly didn’t like either of the dudes
DM
They’re clones
Adrian
And the main dudes a douche
Adrian
He is a douche
DM
Very attractive douche, but a douche nonetheless hahaha. I liked it more because of Lara Jean
DM
Uhh sure
Adrian
If you’re into generic Jonas Bros types
Adrian
Holy hell. He does look like he could be part of the Jonas Brothers
DM
They both do
Adrian
Ones just more sickly lookin
Adrian
I thought the other one was just more hipster
DM
That’s what I said, sickly
Adrian
Hahaha tomato tomato
DM
Exactly
Adrian
The more people you let into your life, the more that walk out.
Adrian
Damn...
Adrian
But too profound for a high school junior
Adrian
I guess... to be fair she did lose her mom early
DM
True, but I’m not liking how she keeps her mom dying and fear of relationships on the same level.
Adrian
Huh
DM
And I’m not seeing how moms absence has really affected her. Still have half a movie to go though granted.
Adrian
She gets to that later
DM
Cool
Adrian
I don’t agree that it’s on the same level.... but I kind of see what’s she’s getting at
DM
They were talking about relationships and love, then he brings up mom though.
Adrian
The two being connected isn’t a bad thing
Adrian
But being actively aware of it in high school is such a stretch
Adrian
Makes them seem very mature and adult, but then they go around with this bs plan
Adrian
That I agree. I kept thinking they were in college
DM
LJ can’t even be straight with the hipster dude and is ruining a legit relationship.
Adrian
Yes exactly!
Adrian
The maturity levels keep fluctuating between adult and teen depending on what the plot needs at the moment
Adrian
Yeah....that part was kind of weird. Though even the reckless behavior seems like something you’d do in college
DM
Good lord
Adrian
Bonding over absent parents, then arguing over Instagram posting
Adrian
Totally not the target audience, am i? Haha
Adrian
You’re tearing up the cute fantasy for me Hahahaha
DM
Oh god I’m sorry haha
Adrian
I’ll stop
Adrian
Issa fine hahaha I’m kind of amused
DM
Also know that teen rom coms don’t make any sense
DM
Sigh. Need to watch some 80s teen romcoms after this
Adrian
Have you seen Music and Lyrics?
DM
No
Adrian
That’s a real good rom com
DM
80s?
Adrian
BAHAHAHA
Adrian
Sex talk scene is gold!
Adrian
No, 2007
DM
Kind of dad I wanna be
Adrian
Ah.
Adrian
Not a teen rom com either but it’s really good!
DM
Hahahaha THAT IS MY LIFE
DM
THE DAD
DM
That’s honestly my parents hahaha
DM
He gives you rolls of condoms?
Adrian
No
DM
Damn
Adrian
I mean
DM
Hahahahaha
Adrian
The talk was the same
DM
I hear too much of it for someone who’s very single
DM
Nice haha
Adrian
Anywayyyy Music and Lyrics is one of my favorite rom coms, it’s so good
DM
You’ll be prepared then if you ever wanna be a mama
Adrian
Ehhhh. I guess... dogs don’t need that type of talk though
DM
I’m imaging you giving a group of dogs a sex talk
Adrian
That’s my career goal actually. Professor of Sex Ed for Dogs
DM
The hot tub scene would make a good cinemagraph...
Adrian
But no.
Adrian
Oh my god😂😂😂
DM
Love it! No more needing to fix dogs
Adrian
Nah. Just gotta edumacate them
DM
A classroom full of dogs sounds like a dream though
DM
Oh god. This cheese like drama just turned into corn
Adrian
It’s a teen rom com, what were you expecting? 😂
DM
UGH
Adrian
Just TALK DAMN IT!!
Adrian
😂😂😂
DM
I’m weak. It was frustrating... that was too relatable
DM
Ugh. Then they talk a scene later
Adrian
And now the Jonas Bros are fighting
Adrian
I hate this movie so much right now.
Adrian
Hahahahaha
DM
This conversation is a show in itself, I’m crying😂
DM
There’s about 20 minutes left. So I’m guessing a montage of self discovery before everything is fixed in one way or another because they decide to actually talk
Adrian
Mmm
DM
That sounds about right
DM
It’s not the most original movie haha
DM
Or some wisdoms from dad or older sister
Adrian
Sister it is
Adrian
Yeeeppp
DM
Oooh. wisdoms and montage.
Adrian
Dad wisdoms!
Adrian
Lots of wisdoms hahaha
DM
Three for three hahahaha
Adrian
Like I said, not exactly an original plot hahaha
DM
Mom drama never played a big part of it....
Adrian
Just a “I really miss her.”
Adrian
Oooooooh. The locker part
Adrian
It didn’t, but I think it’s supposed to explain why the sisters are so close
DM
Er, contribute to it
DM
THE FUCKIN MIDDLE SCHOOL KISS!?!
Adrian
OKAY
DM
I HATED THE GIRL FOR THAT
DM
....it wasn’t tongueless for me?
Adrian
THAT WAS SO STUPID
DM
That dialogue
Adrian
Hahahaha
DM
Yeah, I didn’t understand why she was such a bitch just for that
DM
UGH
Adrian
UUUUUUGH
Adrian
You good?
DM
Hipster bro summarizing everything she already said in one way or another
Adrian
Like she hadn’t already learned it.
Adrian
Ohh she’s driving. Driving is a metaphor
Adrian
This fuckin movie used driving as a metaphor for relationships?!
Adrian
Hahahahahaha
DM
It did hahahaha 😂😂😂
DM
This message thread should be my blog post tomorrow
Adrian
It really should Hahahaha
DM
It’s fucking hilarious
DM
ASSHOLE!! YOU COULDA TOLD HER YOU WENT TO BREAK UP WITH HER!!
Adrian

DM
FUCK THESE KIDS
Adrian
HAHAHAA
DM
IM DEAD 😂😂😂😂
DM
UGH AND THAT LAST VOICE OVER
Adrian
FUCK THESE KIDS! FUCK SPIN THE BOTTLE, I NEED TO WATCH STAR WARS NOW!
Adrian
He could have shouted it at her
Adrian
HAHAHAHAHA
DM
Or told her on the bus before using her as a pillow
Adrian
THEY HAD A WHOLE BUS RIDE
Adrian
DONT TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF IT
DM
I’m crippled with frustration
Adrian
Hahahahaha
DM
Yeah
DM
You really aren’t the target audience Hahahaha
DM
If they weren’t all dipshits, this movie woulda been over much sooner
Adrian
Listen
DM
Everybody in a angsty teen rom com has major issues
DM
This is standard
DM
I read one of the books from this author. Same deal
DM
part i hate the most… it's not a bad movie
Adrian
