To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, is the sequel To All The Boys I Loved Before. The story picks up right where the last one ended following the young budding romance of Peter and Laura Jean, reprised by Noah Centineo and Lana Condor, respectively.
The plot was a mature, honest look at a complicated relationship, who you choose to be in those relationships, while finding confidence in yourself. There were great themes around friendship, trust, growth and love.
The acting from the entire cast was great again. You can really feel the connections between the performers because of the well written script and the strong character development, which helped in bringing out an emotionally charged and at times quite heartbreaking story. Lana Condor brought such beauty and style to her character and did another great job carrying this movie. I also appreciated the continuality of the diverse casting. I especially loved the addition of John Ambrose, played by Disney & Dancing with the Stars hunk Jordan Fisher. I thought that he did a great job playing the nice guy, the one you would be torn rooting for. Someone with honest, genuine feelings, who is just looking for love.
I enjoyed that they kept with the theme of the original film when it came to the soundtrack. It was another 80s inspired mix of hits intertwined with current pop tunes. Additionally, the cinematography was creative in how they transitioned from act to act. I also adored the costumes, especially those of Laura Jeans’, they were full of bright colors, fashionably bold choices and full of quirk, just like her personality.
From beginning to end this movie was engaging and full of some great twists. If you are looking for a proper coming of age, rom-com sequel that brings out all of the emotions, this is the one for you.
