2019 Teen RomCom Movies

Review time ………..

Do I need to stretch up since I haven’t done this for decades hahahahhaha …..

Okay right now I want to review three teenage romantic comedy films I watched recently. And what I mean teenage is yes these three movies cover stories about high school students. I have watched some teenage movies lately but I love these three so far. Okay let’s start.

Let’s start with the third from my personal charts. The third will be “Tall Girl”, released by Netflix on September 13, 2019. The movie is about a 16-year old girl, the tallest girl in school with height 6 ft 1 1⁄2 in (1.87 m) tall. Jodi, played by beautiful Ava Michelle, is constantly mocked by her classmates with their repeated same question, “how’s the sky up there?” Despite all that mockery, Jodi is actually a smart, kind, brave and loyal girl. She has these two bestfriends Jack Dunkleman, portrays by Griffin Gluck, who has crush on her for years, and eccentric Anjelika Washington as Fareeda, who will stand for her no matter what. And with the present of Stig Mohlin, a Swedish foreign exchange student who apparently is taller than Jodi, this tall girl instantly falls for. The struggle Jodi has to go through to get his attention has somehow shaken her friendship with Jack Dunkleman and Fareeda and trapped her in love triangle. But the film ends very nice with Jodi comes to realize that all she needs all this time is all what she already has.

Let’s move to the second from my personal charts and it goes to “The Last Summer”. I really really enjoy watching this romcom which tells a group of friends with each of their love, friendship and college problems they have to face during their final summer before college. One story follows KJ Apa as Griffin and Maia Mitchell as Phoebe, two brilliant students who both accepted in top universities and during those summer holiday the two fall for each other when Griffin helps beautiful Phoebe with her documentary film project. Another story follows Halston Sage as Erin and Jacob Latimore as Alec, Erin’s longtime boyfriend. The two decide to go to separate ways trying to be realistic since going to colleges in different country will, they believe, eventually break them apart. Other follows Erin’s best friend Audrey played by Sosie Bacon and Wolfgang Novogratz as Foster, Alec’s bestfriend. Separately the two portrayed struggled with what they really want and what they try to achieve.

And finally, the first from my personal charts goes to (drumroll pelase ….) “To All the Boys I've Loved Before”. The 2018 American teen romance movie is based on Jenny Han’s 2014 novel of the same name. It started with Lara Jean, portrays by Lana Condor, with all her love letters she wrote for all the boys she had a crush on and kept all those letters in her closet. The last letter she wrote was to her childhood friend Josh, who is dating her older sister Margot. But Margot and Josh break up when Margot moves to college. The things get messed up when Lara’s little sister Kitty sneaks into Lara’s room, finds the love letters and decides to send all those letters to the intended destination. The next day, Lara is confronted by her former crush Peter Kavinsky, played by Noah Centineo, who claims to receive her love letter through mail. Lara and Peter decide to play as a fake couple in order to get the attention of Josh and Peter’s ex-girlfriend.  But during that fake relationship, the two realize that they can’t live apart.
