I wasn't sure if I should write a review about something I didn't fully watch. Perhaps I shouldn't, but I'll risk it anyway. While the first movie was beautiful and romantic, this one was… boring. So boring, I stopped watching it after the first half of the film.
I'm sorry for the fans. I'm disappointing you, or you'll like it anyway. I don't know. As I said, I loved the first one, but in this one… nothing interesting happens! I went halfway into the movie and nothing! I usually don't say this without much more explanations, but it is boring!
Teenage Insecurities and Doubts
Lara Jean continues insecure. Yes, she is a teenager, and all of us can relate to it. Yet, this is a piece of entertainment. I would rather see more development in the character.
Now, she has a boyfriend, and she finds out that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. It is a disappointment to Lara Jean since her goal in the first movie was to find one for herself.
To add even more confusion into her mind, she is about to have a surprise. She encounters another of her crushes in her volunteer work in a retirement house—the only unanswered letter from the first movie. As any teenager (okay, most of them), she realizes that she doesn't know what she wants.
Romantic COMEDY
Well, as I only watched half of the movie, I could imagine that in the second part, there are a lot of funny moments. But I doubt it.
One thing fun here? The old lady in the retirement house. It looked to me that she was the best character in the whole movie.
Tiring
It is romantic. It isn't supposed to be real, right? The positive point is still the fact that shows us the mind of a teenage girl, from who everything is new, and any problem can be the end of the world.
But it is tiring. It is not fun, as far as I was able to watch. The relationship with Lara Jean's sisters is lost. To the point I watched, they barely show up. The youngest one was the best part of the first movie! It's a significant loss.
There is still a third book, which probably means a third movie. I guess I'll need to check it. Hopeful it will be better than this one.
