Watch my fault. It's a cringe ass step bro romance film.
are we not tired of the "pretty girl "made ugly" by glasses takes them off and gets guys all over her" trope?
I am so done with that trope
I rolled my eyes as soon as I saw her glasses.
Ugh I'm tired of watching it
Not Another Teen Movie made fun of that trope 22 years ago, and they're still doing it!
Generally I am just done with i am ulgy and need nerd and because of this am not good at anything and have no personality troop I want confidence and pls personality and you know what just stop with who is pretty and ugly I don’t alway have to hear if the main character is ulgy or not just don’t mention anything about their looks 😀
The worst part of this show is that Belly's only personality trait is liking the two brothers.
That’s literally not true bruh… it’s just the main plot nothing to do with her personality learn the difference
@Mar67 So what is the 'main plot' about? The love triangle? There are plenty of shows with a love triangle centered around a well rounded, interesting main character. And Belly not having any goals (other than getting with the boys) works to the show's detriment.
@lao675 idk she likes volleyball?
@Deborah Obakpolo WAIT hold on, she likes boys and she’s a fan of volleyball? Wow silly me, she’s the most complex character I’ve ever met
@Mar67 so yeah… you basically just reinstated that the plot is her character lol. I have notice that in media where the characters purpose is just to advance the plot in a certain way but they don’t take the time to make the character real, the story should be the background of the character not the character be the background of the story.
It's really weird to me, how teenagers in movies and shows are always worried about finding true love, their soulmate forever, etc. That was the furthest thing from my mind as a teen.
how odd, most teens are really into the dating scene and ‘true love’
me too, more worried about exams and what i was going to do with my life after school lol
That was definitely on my mind. Now as a young adult, I don't really care, I have more serious problems. But I definitely thought about it then
Even before I found out I was aroace, I found it really weird how "finding true love" is regarded as the TOP priority above everything else, and how romantic love is somehow the strongest force in the universe in movies and tv
Literally. Like, do none of them have exams and homework and stuff. "True love" ain't getting you in college or paying your bills.
When Belly was eating in the gas station store, I so badly wanted the cashier to interrupt her main character thoughts with "Are you gonna pay for that?" bc that would've made SENSE and humbled her sm 😂😂
That would have made sense" is something best left behind when viewing these types of shows. In what Universe does the set up of this show happen in? Average everyday girl spends the entirety of each of her summers relaxing at a beach house, with 2 guys with model looks?
@Dustin Barlow lmao fair enough
I appreciate the point you’re trying to make but in actuality… it’s a socially acceptable North American culture thing. People start eating in grocery stores all the time and then just pay for it. As long as they pay for their items, the people working don’t bat an eye haha, it’s probably one of the most entertaining things they see during a regularly tedious cashier job
Honestly I wondering why she was just grabbing a random snack from the gas station and not paying for it. Don't tell me this what America has come to😔
Well I must be a lousy American then, cause I've never heard of that 😂 (it does sound quite American tho, now that you mention it lol)
These "I look pretty after I take my glasses off and everyone falls in love with me" trope is so silly because the only thing that happened to me when I take off my glasses was people asking me when I last slept.
😂😂😂 same
I did NOT come here to be called out 😭😭😭
Same, lol. I thought I would look totally different and have people falling for me, but I only had people asking me why my eyes looked weird.
I'm legitimately curious about why that happens because my lenses are thick as shit and my eyes never look like that but a friend of mine always looks like that without her glasses
Everyone asks me where my glasses are because I keep squinting 💀😭😭
Calling cam “fairly good looking” is the understatement of the century
Right? I thought he was gorgeous.
Seriously!
Matter of opinion but he is NOT ugly
He's too goofy
Every young guy in this show was unrealistically hot ol
I hate when authors make a love interest do something awful so the main character never really has to make a choice.
Exactly! In the books, the author makes Jeremiah cheat on Belly but they still decide to get married. Then he doesn't show up to the wedding saying Belly loves Conrad more. Dude! She was about to marry YOU! Not your brother. That's how Conrad gets the girl.
I am not in love with the books. N I didn't particularly enjoy the stupidity of the show either. Lazy writing.
Ikr !!
@Kavya Kohli did they change the age of the characters for the show?
@London WimberlyThere’s many time skips and the stuff mentioned above happened in book 3 when belly is in college
@London Wimberly nope. She's 16 here too.
I don't understand why Conrad/Jeremiah ar considered "more attractive" than Cam in the show, he had an actual personality compared to the two😭
Yes please finally
I agree but I also think she has had like life long crushes on the two and also where they are living the rich are considered more attractive and cam and belly had the not as rich thing to connect with
Abs
omg so real =)))
Generally, why are they always choosing the idiotic hot guy over the smart nice guy😭
This show is the ultimate teen girl fantasy, and I love it for that. Like she goes to a gorgeous beach house every summer, has two boys constantly wanting to be with her and other boys finally noticing she’s really cute, like what teenage girl hasn’t just fantasized about this
Me because I had to many problems in high school. 😂
Me, I‘m asexual
Sometimes I fantasize about being with the sweetest guy. Majority of the time, I fantasize about my favorite fictional couples
stop calling me out
@beckysberries4441 how do you know somebody is asexual? oh don't worry they'll tell you 😏
Anne with an e was the best coming of an age drama ever. They should make more series like that, where characters actually have a personality.
The way she is jumping from one boy to another this show should have been named "The Summer I Turned w****"
And where their characters don't revolve around boys
@SmackyofaceTrue. It's jenny han work Her whole career resolves around writing stories like this, it's like she's writing about her weird a** fantasies.
As a woman with glasses, i can honestly say i love having them.
SAME OMG
Saaaaame i love my glassets they're so pretty
Same 😂❤
It’s 50/50 for me they can get annoying real fast. they hurt my nose lol
I think it's so funny that the most emotionally wrecking relationship for me was the moms, like I half expected laurel to come out and be like Suzannah, it's you ive always wanted. Their arc was much more organic to me than the love triangle
YEAH the moms have better chemistry than any other couple on the show
their connection felt so much more real and relatable tbh.. as someone who is queer, I rlly wanted them to end up together. It would have been really interesting to watch a story abt two divorced women who ends up in a relationship and just become the absolute best mothers together and not just for summer vacation :'))
As a current sixteen year old, my summer is filled with no trips and watching my friends do interesting stuff while I do a summer program
Lmao mine is filled with nothing and my trip to Asia was cancelled 😭
Dw, you've got years on to make memories with friends u havent met yet- this being from a content, busy, 18 yr old
@contagiousremorsehere's hoping
@joeydang, sorry about that
Mines filled with failing to get a job
me begging Belly to pick Cam bc he was the only boy in her life that didn't constantly infantilize her 😭 I literally rooted more for the moms than the teens in this show lol
Yes!!!
Imagine that plot twist. At the very end we find out Cam was only using Bella to get close to her mom!
Belly*
I couldn’t stand the moms just as much as the teens. The first season made them act exactly like teenagers and it was so cringey to me.
@Dustin Barlow That would be lazy writing.
what really got me was how nicole left two teenage girls alone late at night in the dark with no clothes, and didn’t even apologize??
I thought the saaaame! She's a criminal, someone could have kill them in the middle of the forest in the middle of the night
Right??? It was brushed off so easily!! No one held her accountable...likw its a perfectly normal thing to do
Like imagine the fucking danger!!!
@Lavanya Krishnakumar RIGHT EXACTLY THAT PISSED ME OFF SO BAD
@Tata Elena i was terrified thinking they would be assaulted or harrassed by guys driving by in that scene
@Neltins me too and as @za-fr3hh said, I was waiting for the show to make Nicole apologize at some point of the story, but they didn't 🤔
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT! this show is weird and loving 2 brothers is not normal
it could be normal for some people because they’re both attractive to her
Dude everyone’s like omg I love this show… I watched the first season, it’s entertaining and it hooks you for sure but it’s so weird and I sometimes get second hand embarrassment from it 😭
The show also teaches the masses of people watching it that men and women can NEVER be friends, the "Best friend" guy will always be trying to sleep with them, I don't agree exactly but its really crazy what messages the show is giving young viewers
The best part of the show for me was definitely the relationship between the mothers. If you’ve seen the show you know it’s fairly developed, at least more than the teens personalities.
I read this as "relationship between the monsters". And let me tell you I just accepted that as a plot point
@HN now I’m living for the chance of a season 2 cyborg plot twist
It was honestly kinda weird to me how Jeremiah was the gay, feminine, boy bestfriend rooting for her romance while trying to find his own male romance one episode…then suddenly hit a 360 one episode and became dark, brooding, jealous, and all about her.
Maaaate, this! I’m watching this shit show series 2 in the background right now and I’m thinking the exact same. He was kissing a guy and supposedly bisexual and now all of a sudden this season he’s in love with the main girl who has the personality of a wet card board box. This love triangle seems to take centre stage and it’s fucking tedious.
He wasn't gay
Lmao i said the same
He seems to me more as a best friend to her and its cringey when they flirt or kiss.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I watched this show with my dad half jokingly and we were just raging at the dumb decisions the characters kept making
I watched it in class near the end of school and oh my gosh all the kids were screeching about how stupid they are 😆
@Dittoits a universal experience among everyone that watched this 😂
😂😂😂
Preach, if I had a nickel for all of their dumb decisions, then I'd be extremely wealthy!
Love that ❤
I'd really like to see the "pretty girl but GLASSES" trope being played to its logical conclusion, where the girl is surrounded by the popular crowd who are all fawning over her. Then she puts her glasses on.
The popular crowd gasps, they start looking around. Where'd she go? She was just here!
She takes her glasses off.
OH THANK GOD she's back! Where'd you go? How'd you just vanish like that??
😂😂😂
Lmao there’s a Superman joke to be made here somewhere 😂
There isn't a thing in this show that counts as realistic. The damn Barbie movie is more relatable. I don't think i could last through a single episode, y'all are stronger than i am.
I'm not even gonna watch it. I don't know if I can stomach this lol
Preach
@Smackyoface me too
It's all the bad wattpad tropes and cliches written by a 12-year-old
Why is nobody talking about how immoral this show is? I watched the whole thing cuz I was bored and researched what happens in the books and I’m stunned. Belly just jumps from one brother to the other, dates, kisses and sleeps with both and everybody acts like it’s normal? It’s weird and gross, not to mention they grew up like family, she is ruining the relationship between two brothers, she’s so selfish and out of touch. This love triangle is worse than Twilight, at least there Edward and Jacob weren’t related and Bella didn’t casually sleep with Jacob too.
I don’t understand why they still have feelings for her if it was realistic they would’ve stopped by the second or third time they realized she was a toxic influence
One of the only good things about this show was the mothers you cannot deny how well their characters are written and their chemistry is better than the mcs' lol
I love how Alex is equal opportunity in terms of dragging men and women lmao.
For what its worth, you should still totally do Never Have I Ever.
yes!
Absolutely agree!
Yeah the show is actually pretty good! Didn't like the ending so much, but I think the show overall has a good message and good representation.
Totally!
Agreed. Never Have I Ever is way more better than this one.
Maybe it's because I've never watched the show or read the books, but I don't understand how Belly doesn't react to Cam sharing some really cool ocean facts. I don't know the first thing about the ocean, nor have I have ever been interested, but a jellyfish with Benjamin Button's disease? I'd just be like dude, tell me more!
21 seconds ago-
Her first date. She just wanted to make out
Oh my gosh lm super attracted to guys that are interesting lm so bad ld be in love same time , and his cute and sweet and has no character flaws and likes you, this is a teen girl fantasy show.....
Yeah! And even if she wasn't as interested, it's basic human decency to show some interest in what people around you like.
fun fact: The summer I turned pretty is a book series written by Jenny Han who also wrote To All The Boys Ive Loved Before
Didn't she also write XOXO kitty ?
@i adore u 🩷xo kitty is a spin off so i believe not
@tiffany.taylors version she’s the creator and producer of the show
@m1sta ohhh i thought they meant if jenny also like wrote xo kitty as a book lol
Two episodes into S2, i knew i had to stop watching this series forvever. 😭 like i couldn't suspend my disbelief to that extent. Belly is the biggest red flag ever.
Your point about WHY Jeremiah wasn’t there is EXACTLY my whole problem with the show 😭I liked it pretty well but at the end they acted like Jer was a jerk qnd gave Conrad all the credit because he finally quit being a butt for 15 min BUT like his mom was DYING!?? Belly’s ball/dance was important but not more important than the potential death of a parent 💀
I gotta respect you for the work you do. I also am a 30 year old heterosexual male who for the most part enjoys some of these types of shows, but on a lot of them the dialogue and "actics" are just a bit to silly for me to get through them, and that is where you come in. Again thank you for your work.
Love his take too! As a fellow 30something, I’m sometimes shocked I am watching this and not Citizen Kane or something … but its just such a guilty pleasure 😅🤦🏻♀️
Out of all nicknames they could have given her they chose Belly think about that for a second
...Lmao! I never considered that 😂😂
So real ☠️
I call my baby that and now I regret it lol.
@Willie Williamst's not too late 😭, it's cute tho
Aww I think it’s cute 😢
honestly the books did a much better job of helping us get to know the characters. like in the books, belly loves to read and swim, and she has a love of sweets and junk food. Conrad likes music, playing guitar, academics, and sports. Jeremiah is honestly the same in the books as he is on screen tho tbh. And in the books (spoiler if you haven’t read them) Belly is so into Conrad that she doesn’t see Jeremiah like that until the second book when Conrad basically tells her to be with his brother. Belly was kind of messy in the books, but the show makes her really indecisive and kind of selfish. in the books she was a much more thought out, developed character. Don’t get me wrong the show is good, but the books are incredible.
I love how this show focuses so much on the dilemma of a poor 16 year old who can't choose a boyfriend outta two, like 16 year teen girl is looking for her prince pimpling.
Hypergamy
I love the part about girls' dreams or maybe just dreams in general. It is so accurate I dream the weirdest shit about flying or about to be murdered or just casual weird shit, but never these kind of deep "meanignful" things about actual people in my life. Heck recently I've dreamt more about people that are dead or that I haven't seen in years then I do about even somewhat realistic things
Right? My brains all over the place, you know when you’re either really sleep deprived or semi-drunk so you just do random things that you know concisely doesn’t make remote sense but your brain does it anyway? That’s basically how my dreams are, there are no logic behind them, my dreams don’t know anything I don’t, and I barley know anything. So when someone’s like “dream could be a sign of something deeper.” I’m also like… no.. 😂😂 cause I know for a fact my dream don’t have any meaning
literally! yesterday I had a nightmare where I was kidnapped and other girls where getting killed by someone I know, and the only way to survive was to understand the clues that were given to us.. And then I was dressed as Barbie as well as everybody else like, wtf am I supposed to do with this? 💀
Never Have I Ever is like 10 times better than The Summer I Turned Pretty. I'd still love to see your take on it.
Nooooooooo
@Christa Plays Dude at least shows like Never Have I Ever and XO, Kitty are entertaining because they have personality. This show is something I wouldn't even want to fall asleep to
@AnushkaWhich is funny because XO Kitty is from the same author of The Summer I Turned Pretty books. Also the difference between this and those shows are they’re more upbeat while this is just melancholy.
The clip with Cam and his fascination with ocean life finally made me realize why I desperately couldn’t connect with this show. It's bc the main love interests have no interesting/humane qualities about them whatsoever. They're so surface level that its difficult to actually root for them being with Belly whenever they get those alone time moments with her. Even Jeremiah's character who's supposedly the fun guy/life of the party is just watered down to that sole character trait. He has no aspirations after that (at least in sn 1). It makes the intimate scenes feel extremely stale.
“The Summer I I got contacts” had me dying 💀💀💀💀
Edit: I’ve been following this like count In I’m still baffled it got to 10k. ;-;
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote:
"I know of only one duty, and that is to love"
~ Albert Camus
@Philosophy_BotThank you for the quote.
Me too lol
Because it’s true
real
The glasses trope is so ridiculous. I’m very fortunate to have a boyfriend that loves when I wear my glasses and is concerned whenever I don’t have them on cause I can’t see but contacts hurt my eyes. I was so insecure about wearing glasses because of that stupid trope but I’ve learned to accept myself with them and this trope should go away it’s legit 2023.
Alex let me tell you, Never have I ever is one of the first shows I’ve actually enjoyed in awhile. Devi is a nutcase, but she’s our little nutcase. It’s funny, it’s meaningful, and the characters actually have a lot of depth. Worth a watch and review.
can we have like a... toxic girl turns nice but no one believes her kind of show? Like I would love that.
I didn't get contact lenses until grade 10 and I honestly think it changed my life. This really does happen. I took off my glasses and people started telling me I was pretty. I guess I'm saying, the characters suck, but this movie really captures the feeling of possibility and excitement when you're "finally pretty" haha! and then you realize that you were better off when guys never noticed you. lol.
My anxiety could never do with contact lenses, I’m too afraid that my eye would get an infection 94 become red, or I accidentally shove it further into my eye socket. 😂😂
Sameeee
True and it happens for guys too. My husband got contacts and went from shaved head to full head of hair the summer of grade 10 to grade 11 and legitimately people didn’t recognize him and he got so much more attention from girls too. It didn’t change him as a person, he stayed a cute dork but the reactions really were over the top.
Honestly i wish they would’ve have made it a mini series so we could get all the details and the angst of their relationship. It’s actually really slow developed in the book and is one of the sweetest
Don't crush my dreams Alex, after two decades of wearing glasses I finally got my eyes lasered and now you're telling me that not wearing them anymore doesn't make me instantly pretty? How could you?!
Kinda random but how was LASIK for you? I’m thinking of getting it once I’m maybe a little bit older (personally I hate my glasses coincidentally because of tropes like this lol 🫠) but some of my friends told me that some people they knew ended up having really dry eyes afterward and that the recovery period’s pretty long 😭
@Bianca L. recovery wasn't long it took me like a week and i could go back to work. For like a three months i had a little issues with dry eyes and seeing after dark (like i would't risk driving). And after that it got all okay. Only now during summer i'm more sensitive to sun.
Man I wish I could get LASIK but I cannot afford it and no insurance covers it where I come from. "You have bad eyesight? Lol, it's your problem"
@Bianca L. I actually couldn't get LASIK due to my cornea being too thin. I got Trans-PRK which is similar, but has a longer healing period (about two months). The first day it hurt quite a bit (burning eyes mostly), but it's been 8 days now since and my eyes barely hurt, they're not dry or anything. It's just that my eyesight hasn't stabilised yet which is why I've been on sick leave this week, it's just that I have problems with reading stuff. E.g. comments here I zoomed in atm at 200% to be able to make the words out. But the eyesight gets worse over the day, in the morning I had no problem, now at 10pm I have trouble reading anything. I'm going to be back at work next Monday. But so far still worth it.
Nothing has ever looked _less_ relatable to me than this show
alex managed to perfectly portray every emotion/opinion i had about the show!
I really connected to this show because I too had a summer where I turned pretty, just one summer, every other summer I've been extremely ugly.
So tired of (lack of) beauty being a teen girls central defining feature
Has anyone else noticed the increase in quality for the animation. Just whatever you are Alex it has been noticed and I love the effort put in
Almost every romance book has the same problem: The men have no personality and the girl's personality is being quirky. I have never read any romance book where the guy's personality is actually interesting and would make sense for the girl to be in love with him.
I completely agree.
They're out there, believe me. However, sadly, many romances are overshadowed by tropes rather than character development which sucks because the romance genre is my favorite.
Literally tho
Please read better then the movies. The main character has so much development and she actually has features that aren’t labelled as quirky. Saying that its not like the other movies/books.
seems like you don't read many romance books lol
I actually liked the first season because although it was the ordinary love triangle plot but it had a different arc with their mom's health being hidden from them but then I read all 3 books and it turned out to be the same old story. The girl just can't make up her mind and while doing that she gets to have fun with both. Plus few things were changed in the series which I don't like cause they made the characters not likeable.
I'd absolutely still watch a never have I ever video 👀 I prefer watching shows in full and then watching commentaries so I know what happened in its entirety 😊
I loved it purely because of the setting. That beach house and general area there is just stuff made out of dreams.
Your animations are just amazing, so funny and always more entertaining than the movie/show in question 😂
The thing about dreams is so on point I just can't stop rewatching and crying from laughter
I’m afraid that every season that comes out is gonna be like Belly switches guys and ends up with conrad like what
The books are slightly different
I figured it might be that. No romance-saga has the guts to split up the couple from the first installment
its wierd how she ended up with Conrad in the show
its basically exactly like that.
I’m the end of the books she gets married to Conrad
I live for Alex making fun of the love interests
Conrad's one liners are on par with Anakin's flirting. "I don't like sand" vs "I liked you better with glasses".
One thing I liked is that both conrad and jeremiah has a good reason to act weird. Especially conrad, is shown in the show that he tends to keep things to himself. So him being "the sensitive guy TM" makes a lot of sense since he is trying to cope with his mom having cancer with 0 help, it still stupid but makes sense for that character.
I swear I tried to watch this show, and thought maybe it won't be like so many of the shows now where it's like this girl feels like she becomes pretty and she ends up with the boy she's always dreamed of, who is kinda an ass to her throughout the show. It was going well to begin with and we started to see realistic character growth from her to begin with and then the tides turned and I was like "yeah, I'm not wasting my time on this."
It's actually good to see a show being a faithful adaption of a great book whilst also being a pretty solid show
The way you dragggggged every single guy in this show was so healing thank you xx
It’s very deserving sometimes haha
People are calling the different love interests in this show, Peter Kavinsky but in different fonts and I couldn’t help but holler at that accuracy 💀
The fact they turned one of my fav YA book series into a tv series 😭 I still remember the books started off so innocent and fun and you thought it was just going to be another book about teenage summer romance 🤡 I actually loved the first season of the show! Didn’t enjoy the debutante ball plot line though, especially since it wasn’t in the books. Otherwise the show has been pretty faithful to the series and it prob looks goofy for that reason. Also- Belly’s transformation in the books was way more than just removing her glasses lol, they didn’t drive that home as much in the show. But I don’t care bc my inner teen self is freakin loving this!
Please still do "Never Have I Ever"! It was a wild ride and a great show!
You should definitely make a video on red white and royal blue. It comes out on the 11th of August it’s on prime and it really seems like a movie worth making a video on ❤
Also I love your videos
I agree with you on your thoughts regarding cancelled shows. So unfortunate that everything has turned into feeding instant gratification. 😞 Corporations are investing less and less on storytelling and creativity nowadays.
Your description of dreams was the most accurate thing I've ever heard. Yeah that's me for sure
"Is the rest of your hairline gonna be there?" is pure devastation for a guy hitting on a 16-year-old. Love it! 😄
well technically she was 15 lol
I died laughing when he said that 🤣🤣
I snorted lol😂
Ah! I love this series, the books are even better I read the entire trilogy in a week or two. I can’t wait for the second season. Note: I think I love the books better than the tv series, but the tv series is pretty good too, but the book series I think is better!
10:00 if you read the book it goes into them as people a little more.
If you look at the series and the book as separate things, yes both are nice
There have literally been 2 traits in common with every crush, gf, and now beloved wife I've had.
1. Glasses
2. Probably born female
...I haven't always had standards.
My one was just:
1)curly wavy hair
2)long hair
3)look like any of my previous crushes
😂😂
I'll tell you who Belly will choose. In first book, literally at the beginning is the sentence ,,It was never Jeremiah, not if Conrad was around". Jere is like a brother to her, they are too similar on many levels, with Conrad it must be difficult, because he is the main love interest. Cam was the definition of a summer romance that has no basis to drag on (in season 2 he shows up and has his own romance so he's gonna be okay). Bonrad are canon endgame (Team Connie 4ever xoxo)
11:51 the whole dream skit is so relatable I can't 🤣🤣that's me trying to describe my dreams to everyone ever
dont judge before u read the book- i read it before the show came out and i was so emotionally invested in the storyline like i love this series sm! i rlly reccomend the books, jenny han is an amazing author.
I dont care if people judge the things i like. I love this series so much. I feel the show is better the books but i love all of them.😊
opening the bag and just devouring Cheetos before going to the register is so bold to me. like- who raised you belly?🤣
I for real thought they were gonna have the main character commit low-level crime in the first episode lmao
Guess it explains the nickname
i thought that’s why the guy was looking at her at first
The real reason she was never popular
I've done this with a soda and drank it cause I was just really thirsty and made sure to buy it before I left the store, unlike some people where they go around just drinking and eating something and you would find it empty somewhere on a shelf.
12:43 I like that perspective quite a lot! Great job man! Please use it more often! Looks great
I also never got the whole "taking the glasses off = pretty." I always thought glasses were pretty. I even would punch out the lenses of 3D glasses from the movie theatre and wear them when I was younger. So when I found out I had to get glasses I was actually excited about it lol.
I read the books and there’s parts of the books that are different than the show. For example the debutante ball never happened in the books. That was kindve interesting they put that part in the show when it was literally non-existent in the books. Out of the 3, I liked the 2nd book. And so far I really like season 2. I think TSITP feels more like the nostalgic 90s and early 2000s teen shows that many of us miss. And back to the days when Americans playing American teens(no Brits acting with American accents 😃).
i really wish you'd review Never have i ever!
I feel like it's a teen drama with a lot of heart and fun no matter how cringe or crazy it gets lol
I just have to say, I really liked this video. It was extremely well done. Your animations skills are amazing and unique, and your commentary is refreshingly unbiased. I was so scared tbh, stumbling upon a random guy talking about a rom com. But your commentary was great. Now I know not to watch the show LOL
I know in the book she's more towards Conrad but in the show Jeremiah is just so charming! Like I don't get why she wouldn't pick him
Fr! Especially since his always there! And conrad was about to cheat on his girl with her I don't know but thats a red flag for me
Well, he got it on with half of the guests/colleagues at his workplace, wondering what HR thought about that...
@Ace
Sabotaging your own brother when he finally makes his move on the girl he loves is not any better...
@Susi Varga he didn't sabotage his brother though belly could have rejected him
I know right!
After I had a dream where aliens were chasing me while I was trying to rescue a Lego set that was meant to save the world from the bottom of the ocean, let me tell you: Alex's commentary about dreams was spot on.
i mean jenny han wrote these books I think... which explains a lot of the weird choices that were made and the way the plot moved... i mean for christsakes I'm still not over "to all the boys I've loved before" when lara jean picked peter over john!!! in the book her and john's relationship is wayyy more detailed and I was rooting for them lol
we need to talk about how taylor is very much the best character
I honestly kinda liked it, especially the theme of dealing with grief in different ways, living with the pain but still treasuring the memories, being there for the loved ones in the dark moments Idk ...
he’s not judging people (i hope) so don’t feel bad for your opinion
it's a lighthearted and fun show though, exactly what I like to watch when there's nothing to do
I read the book the show is based on as a teenager and it’s… it’s certainly a book.
😂😂
With letters and everything? Well, then we can hardly complain!
i thought the book was good, way better and way different than the show
Ik the book is somehow worse than the show which is impressive solely because the writing is just sooo god awful. Wasted my time and money
I think the show is better mainly because of the acting. Book Conrad was a straight up a$$hole, but TV show Conrad is WAY more likeable.
This was the funniest one I’ve watched in a minute. I love your edits and humor
This might have been my favourite episode ever. I was laughing so bad the ENTIRE time
I love the show but laughed way too hard to some of your comments so I definitely need a video about season 2 😂
i have so many friends absolutely obsessed with this show, and they finally got me a bit intrigued abt it, to the point where i wanted to actually watch it. and then….
it's so frustrating how bad of a character belly is. she manipulates and plays two emotionally vulnerable people all the while making everything about her. and the craziest part is that we're supposed to like her🤷♀
I love her 🥰
@♡ luna ♡ shame
You might be really behind but I would love to hear your take on Never Have I Ever, the show was just crazy enough for this to be really entertaining
Agreed, I'd love to see Alex review that show, especially now that it's officially ended.
Agreed!
I would also love to hear his thoughts on never have I ever✨✨
Season 1 was great but season 2 was torture
@great felixseason 2 was when we rly got crazy Devi. It was my favorite
omg i laughed so much watching this to the point where i ruined my whole desk with soda ( cuz i was drinking it while watching ) good job alex
As a 16 yr old myself, my summer is spent sitting in my room eating ritz crackers while watching dramas- so do with that what you will 🙂
i love his sense of humor literally so much 😂😂
Uh... Alex, we are halfway through the year 😂 you must save some time by not re-recording the Skillshare sponsorship. Proud of how far you're coming.
I love glasses on girls too!
My niece has this book and I swear to god when I saw it, I thought it was some type of instruction manual. Like “The Summer I Turned Pretty: a guide to navigating the teen years into a trophy wife of an adult.”
Can we please retire this stupid trope that you get a *"glow up"* when you remove your glasses. I said the same thing for XO Kitty because the actress looks so pretty in her interviews.
Ladies, is it ugly to be able to *see* properly? Or are we just meant to be blind to the red flags 😅
It really should've been retired 20 years ago when Not Another Teen Movie pretty thoroughly pointed out how stupid it's become at this point.
I mean we can use contacts but I agree it's dumb cuz I hate touching my eye and I will never wear contacts so I guess I'm ugly forever
@Abbi Normiright though! Nothing against people who wear contacts, but I cannot poke things into my eye, I've been wearing glasses since the 1st grade 😂 and I look way worse without them on
OMG that’s what was missing, I completely forgot Kitty had glasses until I rewatched To All The Boys 1
Honestly for me the moms had a better storyline than the 3 main characters. Like the moms were going through real life issues and had much more deep storyline. I think the Belly's mom had a better love story build up than her and conrad. Her brother's story on the side was another one that i loved. He wanted to earn money, impress this chick but messes up. Belly however has no character growth. She was like "bleh i love conrad but he is so mean to me rn but he was not before" . A creepy gas station guy thinks i am cute aka i am cute (what is this logic?) Conrad was the worst main love interest. His character had better connection w belly's moms boyfriend than with belly. He legit has some dumb one liners and is always brooding. He was just so meh. At least jeremiah had charisma . The show overall was such a failure for me because if the main characters storyline is so bland and u r invested in side characters than yep it is a big no no. I read the books and i think they were better and belly was a red flag even then.
I literally just finished watching this series yesterday this is wild, great video as always btw :)
