Netflix invited my girls and me for a night out to see To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, a sequel to To All The Boys I've Loved Before.
About To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You
Synopsis: Lara Jean and Peter have just taken their romance from pretend to officially real when another recipient of one of her love letters enters the picture.

I haven't seen the first film before, so I didn't know what to expect going into the theaters to see the 2nd. What I did know is that it's a Teen Romantic Comedy of a girl who writes love letters and based on New York Times Bestselling Author, Jenny Han, the film adaption of the popular three-part young adult novel, starring Lana Condor.

My youngest daughter, Michelle, seen the original movie and loved it; she told me her friend had her watch it since they too thought it was good.
I won't spoil the movie for you, but for me not seeing the first film, I thought the movie was easy to follow and understand the story-line of the characters. It's like the continuation of the first film where it left off.
The film was funny, charming, witty, and had me reminiscing back to my high school days, expressing my admiration for my crushes. I remember writing love letters to Mr. M, who happens to be my high school sweetheart. He is the one that I fell head over heels for and knew he is the one for me and still is today.
This movie makes me think, "Do teens still write love letters?" With teenagers having cellphones, I would feel love notes come in the form of a text message. But still, I like the fact that Lara Jean's character goes back to the original way to express her love to her crushes, which seems more personal.
With the majority of Teen Rom-Com, this film is more suited for older teens since there are scenes of heavy kissing and sex topics. Also a few S-Bombs throwin' here and there.
Will Lara Jean choose to date, John or Peter? The end will surprise you, well for me, it did. The ending had the whole audience cheering, and throughout the movie, the theater was rolling with laughter and excitement.
Two thumbs up from me! And both of my daughters enjoyed the movie as well. The perfect Valentine's Day film to see with your crush, or girls movie in.
Oh, and I would like to mention Lara Jean's character outfits were super cute, sophisticated, chic! Ideally suited for a teenager, unlike the clothes I've been seeing on teen girls lately.
