Critics Consensus

To All the Boys I've Loved Before plays by the teen rom-com rules, but relatable characters and a thoroughly charming cast more than make up for a lack of surprises.

Laura Sirikul

Bitch Media

Thanks to films like To All The Boys I've Loved Before, The Edge of Seventeen, and Running from Grace, Asian American teenagers can see dimensional versions of themselves onscreen who are worthy of falling in love, no matter who they end up with.

The Atlantic

Thrills in part because most viewers are all too familiar with what it feels like to baldly deny feelings for another person even as they become patently obvious to everyone else.

Much of the movie's success is down to Condor's gentle appeal and her quiet chemistry with co-star Noah Centineo .

One must mention the performance by Condor. Her comedic timing is perfect, but more than that, she really embodies this character...

Rated: B

Every movie should have a Lara Jean Covey and Peter Kavinsky — except I don’t know that we, as a society, are prepared for that much cuteness.

Maximum Hype (YouTube)

It has a strong, flawed protagonist who reminds us of some important life lessons as she is learning them at the same time.

Rated: 7.5/10

To All the Boys I've Loved Before is a rom-com that has been hugely successful and watched by many teenagers all over the world. I watched it when I was fifteen years old and, sometimes, I still watch it in my free time. The plot and the mood of the movie is extremely sweet and romantic. The acting from the principal actors is really touching. When you watch the movie, you will feel happy, sad, betrayed and romantic. The feeling that the characters have will be felt by you too. If I can talk about my favorite character, it is Kitty, the little sister. She's really funny and maybe, somewhat overconfident. However, without her, Lara-Jean would not have been with her lover, so I think Kitty has an important place on the movie. If you are a person who likes all the romantic stuff that we dream of, I highly recommended seeing this beautiful movie.

This movie is not talked about enough. It’s so good! I’ve seen it many times in the years since it’s come out and it holds up. It had a great soundtrack and I really like the Covey family dynamic (not a toxic family). Lana Condor and Anna Cathcart’s delivery is so unique and great.

At the 1:16:06 The chess game that was played in the movie was unreal. The girl just made the illegal move and that is not even a checkmate!!! as a real fan o chess I can't put here more than a one star

Honestly, I watched this for the first time with my family. This movie made me feel such joy that I have never felt before. The character Lara Jean truly embodies what it is like to be a teenage girl. The film is a basic idea, but one thing that makes it stand out is its relatability.

I watched this movie several times, and it still touches my heart. I feel like the characters are based on real people. In fact, I really see myself in Lara Jean or my mother in Margot. It might bother some watchers, but I liked the fact that it is easy to realize the movie is a book adaptation by how much time characters spend just talking. Most book adaptations cut off the considerly boring part of converstation and leave just the action, which most of the time kills the whole plot and point of the story. As someone who usually watches only 2000s rom-coms, mostly classics, because Netflix kind of forgot how to make good shows, yet I fell in love with this movie. Definitely Worth watching!
