After Ever Happy

A aggressive boy and a nice girl. Overly dramatic non sense. Uff everyone who rates this above 4 is just a fan boy but as a movie itself it just can't stand itself. It's like 100 Stock footages glued together, sorry but it's like a low budget Netflix movie which teach young relationships that toxic behaviour is cool and can add spice in a relationship and sex is the solution for all that trouble... uff.... I hate it when people can't control their anger and the hero is one of those. I will not go in the next movie and I think the bad reviews are from boyfriends like me who got in the cinema with their girlfriends to give this movie a chance but it failed for those people.

I have watched the previous movies and I can say that they are just getting bad and bad. Hardin is still a dipsh1t guy who has some serious anger issues but Tessa doesn't leave him (Because she loves him soooo much duh).. And when she decides to leave him, the guy isn't leaving her alone (because he doesn't believe her duhhh).

Hardin keeps cribbing and screaming in the first half. Second half gets a little better but it's still very messily done. Even after four movies, you don't feel for these guys. They are just some random teenagers who keep crying and fighting and then keep making up.

Girls, this is what toxic guys look like. I hope you learn from the movie, have some self respect in case you find a red-flagged person and leave him for good. It's NOT your responsibility to fix him.

I'm not saying this is one of the best films I've seen in a while, but it's pretty freaking good. First of all, if you haven't read the books or at least seen the other three films, then you're probably going to be lost. So it's not fair to rate this film poorly based off a plot that you may have no idea about. Secondly, this is probably one of the better films if not the best film in the series. The two leads acted their hearts out, especially the male lead, and it's safe to say they've corrected any "mistakes" they've made from previous films. Overall, the film was pretty damn good. It stayed true to the books and characters, the sex scenes weren't in-your-face and placed strategically at the right time to aid the storyline, and the emotional, thematic material was raw and actually pretty realistic. Sure, there were a few silly moments that probably deserved the lower ratings. But overall, this film was well made. Loved seeing a female lead stand up for herself and what she believes is right in a relationship. Loved seeing a male lead own up to his actions and realistically see the professional help he desperately needed. Hopefully the next film does this one justice.

This movie was phenomenal. The acting from every cast member was first class, especially the two leads. It was so authentic to the book and heartbreaking. My favourite of the series, Castille Landon did a fantastic job.

My best friend and I have a yearly tradition where we see this movie at the latest showtime at our local theatre, ready for not a care in the world with the worlds most shallow plot. This one, surprisingly wasn't as bad as normal, and is my favourite of all of the after movies. The nudity is toned down a lot in this film, and it deals with actual grief and sadness to a point where i actually cared for Tessa and Hardin. So, would I recommend it? Not if you're a newbie. But if you're going down the same never-ending road as me, then you might enjoy this one, it's by far the most mature.

Spoiler Territory: I was actually quite shocked when Tessa's dad died. It was insane seeing how far the writers had attempted to go with the character, and it seemed as if his arch was just starting. To kill him off was quite sudden, and honestly, a little surprising.
