I’m sure by now most of you have at least heard of the Netflix rom-com, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, or if you’re anything like me, you’ve watched it almost ten times since it premiered.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, starring Lana Condor and Noah Centineo (the love of my life), has taken over the summer. The Netflix hit is based off of the novel To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, by Jenny Han, which is the first part of a three part series; which hopefully means there will be at least two more movies.
This movie means a lot to us rom-com lovers. It is the first rom-com in years that will not only give you “all the feels,” but that also restores the magical feeling that 90s and early 00s rom-coms used to give us viewers (if you’re a hopeless romantic, like myself) and provides you with an escape from reality. It gives off the same feels that 10 Things I Hate About You, starring Heath Ledger, gave me the first time I saw it, so this one is definitely a keeper.
I mean, what’s not to love? Peter Kavinsky, played by Noah Centineo, is the most perfect high school lacrosse player I’ve ever seen. His character development and chemistry he shares with main character, Lara Jean Covey, is incredible to watch. The pair make you feel as though you’re right back in high school waiting for your crush from Spanish class to text you.
Not only does the movie portray a sweet romance between Lara Jean and Peter, but Lara Jean and her family share the sweetest moments with one another. Lara Jean lives with her two sisters and her father, who all go through their ups and downs together but do truly share a very close bond. The family go through various obstacles together throughout the film, whether it be minor disagreements, or fighting over dating the same boy, they always manage to find their way back to one another.
Fortunately, for us who are obsessed with the Netflix movie, a sequel seems to be in the works. Although, we all know we can’t wait that long to see Noah Centineo star in another rom-com, you only have to wait until Friday, September 7th. Noah stars alongside Shannon Purser in the new Netflix rom-com, Sierra Burgess is a Loser.
