A heartwarming love story of a good girl and a bad boy.
Directed by Jenny Gage
Written by Anna Todd
Tessa Young (Josephine Langford) is a good student and strives for a new adventure in college. On the first day of school, she meets Landon (Shane Paul McGhie)and they become friends. One evening she meets Hardin Scott (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) in a very questionable setting. She finds out that he is a good friend of her roommate Steph (Khadijha Red Thunder). They “casually ” bump into each other a few days later, they exchange some looks, but nothing really comes of it. Sometime after that, Hardin invites her to his favorite place in the woods and which I may add is very weird. We do a jump in time and there is a cute little compilation of Tessa and Hardin being “cute”. So a few days, weeks, months later (we don’t really know) Tessa’s mom (Selma Blair) arrives at school and finds out that Tessa and Hardin are a couple. And now you may ask: How in god name did her mom find out? Well to sum it up… Noah (Dylan Arnold) came to see Tessa who was already with Hardin and was really disappointed, so he went back home and told Tessa’s mom. So you know…there’s nothing wrong with him. So we encounter some problems along the way but life is basically fine. After some time they move in together and then the problems start.
This is the first movie in which Josephine Langford is the main character and I think she did brilliantly, although some situations appear to be awkward.
Hero Fiennes Tiffin is the young Voldemort in Harry Potter and already then he already then had this fiery presence and he hasn’t lost it. Hardin is the most interesting character and he brings it over in such a fierce way.
I honestly loved this movie. It’s great in a pathetic way. It’s really cheesy, but it’s still fun to watch. But let’s be honest, this movie is a mess. The scenario is a mess, the scenes are a mess like are an absolute catastrophe, but on the bright side, it has some humor.
