To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018)
A fun and crazy story twisted into something lesser
I was surprised how different this movie was to the book. Because the book was great, and this was just meh. It felt like all the funny parts and heart racing parts was made into cringy and awkward scenes instead.
Lara Jean, the girl who played her, was very cringy, to say the least. I felt like there had to been a better actress than her, especially if her siblings are better actors than her. Ya know?
But Peter. Oh god, Peter. I loved him, which surprised me at first but he really was a perfect Peter. So let's move on to the other cringy actors.
Whoever played Chris and Genevieve need to leave this movie and never come back. Chris is so unlike her character, and made to be "edgy" but she came off super annoying and hateable. And Genevieve, don't get me wrong I hated her in the book, but my god, the girl who played Genevieve sucked. She just didn't do her role right. To be the heinous mean girl she's supposed to be.
And Josh, the idea of him was perfect, but he became whiny and not really there which pissed me off because he was a vital character in the book. I actually loved Josh when reading the book, and it was sad to not really see any of his personality or his inner struggles with LJ and Margot.
But my most wondered question is this: Why would you change a perfectly written story with great scenes to this?
