There are so many things wrong with this movie.
It honestly just felt like I watched 2 hours of nothing. I can't stop thinking about how it felt like nothing happened. Laura Jean's NY trip was just not it. Kitty meeting a boy was just filler and felt awkward, most of the side characters got dropped, and not to mention LJ being friends with Gen was cringe as hell. The acting was bad, the music was bad, and the film was just not as aesthetic.
What made me love this series was the first film and the books. The first film was very aesthetic, had good music and the dialogue and acting was not cheesy. The story wasn't the same as all the other rom coms because it was based much more on the book than this movie.
Laura Jean and Peter's relationship in this felt so surface level. And the whole Laura Jean wanting to loose her virginity felt so out of the blue. In the books it makes sense and is lead up to. In the book their fight was much more intricate and made up for the lack of conflict with other boys.
All in all this movie was so out of place from the other two. Bad directing, bad acting, and a bad script are the culprits. There was so much awkward in every part of this movie and was such a waste. It could have been good but everything was in the wrong hands.
