À tous les garçons que j'ai aimés

Netflix recommended this, so i watched it. i was actually pleasantly surprised. it's no cinematic masterpiece, and some of the lines are kinda cringy, but i enjoyed it far more than i thought i would.

A good easy to watch Sunday movie... Lana Condor has great acting skills and is also stunningly pretty and effortless! Hopefully we will see a lot more of her work... A proper feel good romcom x

Very relatable and cute. A perfect feel good movie.

Oldsters (like me) are decades removed from this movie's target YA audience but, if you liked the teenage angst movies of John Hughes ("Sixteen Candles," "Pretty in Pink," "Some Kind of Wonderful") you can truly enjoy this modern-day, politically corrected dip into that genre. ("Sixteen Candles" actually gets a shout-out in the flick.)

It takes some suspension of disbelief (some relaxation of the critical mindset that comes with age) but no more than others of its type. ("Lady Bird" being the exception -- a teen angst movie that overlaid the Hughes blueprint with grit and realism.)

The biggest obstacle is accepting the obviously older actors playing teens, especially the 30-something actress playing the 18-year-old sister. (Molly Ringwald was 16 when she played a 16-year-old.) If that doesn't bother you, then go for it. (Mostly it's 20-somethings in the late-teen roles, according to birthdates on IMBD.)

This movie has this certain vibe that makes you want to fall inlove. The script of the movie was definitely superb and was able to translate the emotion that you would feel while reading the book. The cast, the music, the atmosphere of the film, evwrything was on point. Definitely a must see
