"To All the Boys: Always and Forever" is a Comedy - Drama movie in which we watch Lara Jean and Peter making plans about their future while they are expecting their results from their college applications. Their future is very fragile and they both have to work very hard to continue together.

Since I had already watched the two previous movies I knew what to expect from this one too but I have to admit that it was better than what I was expecting. Despite that for one more time the plot was missing, the movie had some good scenes but it was very predictable. The direction which was made by Michael Fimognari, it was average and since the plot was predictable and we did not watch anything new, made the movie boring. To sum up, I have to say that "To All the Boys: Always and Forever" is a classic teenage movie to spend your time with but do not expect much from it.

Right, well this was definitely not something that fell into my particular viewing pleasure. But then again, I don't really consider myself to have been the target audience here.

Regardless, I stumbled upon the 2021 Netflix movie "To All the Boys: Always and Forever" and opted to watch it, as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen. Nor had I actually heard about it, so I didn't know what I was getting myself into here.

I am sure that the movie does have a wide appeal out there, to the right age group and fan base, that I am not a part of. But I have to say that writer Katie Lovejoy didn't really manage to churn out something that even had the slightest of appeal to me.

The acting in the movie was adequate, but again, the whole concept of the movie and the target audience thing just sort of made it feel like everything was falling short of finding a home with me.

Not having been impressed with director Michael Fimognari's 2021 movie here, then I have to settle for a three out of ten stars rating for "To All the Boys: Always and Forever".

The first question I need to personally answer is: Why is a 71 year old man watching and reviewing this Neflix flick? There is a reason -- one of the supporting actors was a student in the middle school where I was (at the time) the vice principal -- and that is Ross Butler. I think he's a talented not-as-young-as-he-looks actor who isn't getting enough good parts, although he did VERY nicely in "Thirteen Reasons Why". I wish him great luck in his career.

As to this film...well, it certainly is aimed at the teen crowd. And that's okay. I will tell you this...three "chapters" of this is enough. The plot here is...well, not thin, but one-minded: will the high school lovers have a life together beyond high school. At first it's yes. Then it's no. And finally it's maybe. And I have to admit that the final answer is done nicely, if what you want is a happy ending that's not necessarily very realistic.

You're not going to be on the edge of your seat watching this. It's fairly predictable. But I do have to give kudos to Lana Condor, who plays the lead high school character. I think she's a good actress. I'm not as impressed with Noah Centineo, the lead male here. I've seen him in a couple of Netflix movies and...well, I just don't get the attraction. Anna Cathcart, as the younger sister has potential. Everyone else...well they look young and adequate.

The first installment of this series of three movies was the best. I really can't recommend this one.
