AFTER is the dumbest movie I've ever seen...

you know I'm not ashamed to admit I've seen a lot of cheesy teen romance movies and a few months ago this movie after came out and it almost seemed like the entire world just kind of stopped for a second and said hey now I've been asked by so many people to check out this movie even back when it was in Danish they still wanted me to somehow make a video about it like I said I've seen a lot of movies like this so I thought you know how bad could it be right but then I saw the Wattpad Studios logo and I read that it was originally supposed to be like a Harry Styles fanfic and that's when I realized that this movie is for me so let's take a walk there are moments in our lives that seem to define us moments we keep going back to yeah you know it's very true I mean let me tell you there's a clear line in my life between before and after I realize that randomly asking girls for hugs in the hallway is neither cute nor endearing so yet guess who didn't go to his high school reunion anyway so this is Tessa a typically average good girl who's leaving the nest and going off to college which of course she's a little nervous about because what if she meets a cute boy and then he gets to know her and realize that she's actually incredibly boring but yeah so today is Tessa's first day of school and she's up bright and early because the existential nihilism hasn't set in yet are you in first year - yeah are you an econ major that's the plan you an English major okay so you're both gonna end up working at Starbucks paying off your student loans for the next 50 years hey look at that test I'm making friends already so that night test us coming back from the shower and she finds a little surprise waiting in a room I excuse me I think that you're in the wrong room I'm in the right room you please go out in the hall so I can get dressed last to yourself I'm not looking you know we got this guy you got Peter Pan or whatever like is there a thing we're British guys just randomly show up in girls bedrooms cuz I mean it's almost like some kind of epidemic at this point now despite everything that just happened Tessa for some reason starts to feel a little something-something for a set of British guy cuz yeah sure okay maybe he overstepped like 10 different boundaries a bit bit bit but he talks like Doctor Who so later on Tess's roommates Steph who's clearly trying way too hard to be whatever this is invites Tessa to a party where guess what she runs into the British guy again this is my new roommate this is everybody [Music] nice to meet you my name is ed you've met harden his name is hardened his dude's parents named him after a Pokemon move anyway so Tessa meets this band of kids who you know just had like the worst social media accounts just like every other post is like that Marilyn Monroe quote where it's like if you can't handle me at my waist you don't deserve me at my best which by the way should really be like if you can't handle me at my worst good on you for having self-respect then they play truth or dare because I guess they're all seven and test that gets dared to kiss hard in fun Molly I'm done playing this game so finally making a smart decision Tessa leaves to go wander around the house she then comes across a bedroom full of books what okay well who ever saw him this is must be like so handsome and dreamy and charming see what I tell you British guys just showing up at it aware you're looking for something [Music] he's more myself than I am [Music] whatever our souls are made of isn't mine are the same so somehow hardens showing off that he knows how to read makes Tessa get old dude but at the last second she decides not to kiss him because fun fact she has a boyfriend back home now maybe the next day who knows really Tessa is in what I assume is English Lit class and today they're discussing the book Pride and Prejudice and guess who's in the same class and just has to give his two cents about everything Pride and Prejudice Elizabeth Bennet needs to chill hmm she gave Darcy away worse time than he deserves love is just a transaction we're all hardwired to desire we present the correct set of desirable traits and boom we can turn it on and we can turn it off yeah okay Hardin sure uh whatever you say buddy you know I used to listen to simple plan and system over down to okay you're not special anyway so as you probably already guessed Tessa and Hardin keep running into each other all the time because heaven forbid Tessa goes to a different coffee shop and long story short he ends up sort of apologizing and for some reason Tessa agrees to go with him to a forest in the middle of nowhere because that's a real smart thing to do with a guy you basically just met like two days ago hey nothing weird about that [Music] welcome to my favorite place this is where I keep all the bodies what are you doing I'm going swimming come in see Tessa this is why you really shouldn't go anywhere without an exit strategy anyway so this swim around and end up sharing a moment where they stare at each other for a really long time which protip only works in this movie and like twilight coz let me tell you it turns out girls don't really appreciate it when you go around like and then we get to this part thought that you just wanted to be friends [Music] I don't think we can ever be just friends you've known each other for like two days two whole days anyway so then they end up doing a bunch of kissing and now I guess they both kind of like each other so who could have seen this coming so after this they go to like a diner or whatever and talk about feelings and stuff why do you have all those romance novels if you don't believe in love who says I don't believe in love you did in Soto's class maybe don't believe everything I say but that hardens friends show up and suddenly he's all like sound like like like you okay I don't date I just take girls to the forest and throw them in the lake alright so Tessa goes home on grumpy grump because boys are dark now the next day tesla's boyfriend Noah shows up and they get to spend the whole day together this of course upsets Hardin because and it goes home and just kind of trashes the whole place now Tessa hears about this and that night goes to comfort Hardin because I mean hey who wants to sit at home with their boyfriend watch Netflix when you could be babysitting I'm sorry for how I treated you if you don't date that's how you feel I don't think that is how I feel anymore but anyway so then somehow for some reason they end up almost kind of sort of doing the old devastating goo well Hardin gives us little gems like this what does that even mean anyway so the next morning Noah finds out what's been going on and breaks up with Tessa but I mean come on luscious curly hair brown shoulders a chin that could crack diamonds and you're gonna give all that up for this a guy with the King and Queen of Hearts tattooed on fingers I mean come on test that that just was one of them smart kids so that night Tessa goes over to hardens house and they sit on the roof and have a little heart-to-heart talk I hate myself for what I did to him Noah is my best friend that you [Music] there's so much more what are you talking about Tessa anyway so two seconds later Tessa completely forgets about Noah and we get this overly long montage of her and harden doing all kinds of cute fun things and being all happy you know whatever that's like and the main takeaway from all this about what is so alluring about Hardin is that he's spontaneous you know he shows up at random times and makes Tessa stop whatever she's doing and hang out with him instead and apparently this is a romantic thing to do but like all I see is some guy who clearly has no life I mean does he go to class any hobbies at all this guy he's just like hey so I know you're single mom is paying thousands of dollars for you to be here but like what if you never went to class and the whole day we just sat around being like bah now during one of these little rendezvous things or whatever Tessa's mom barges in and sees her precious little girl doing some kind of out Lord and takes Tessa out of the room for a little talk you know and after all this work and you are gonna throw it away for somebody talking about I'm not you're gonna break up with this boy and you are gonna focus on your schoolwork do you know what it has been like trying to be perfect for you having you mold my life that's sad I just I just want to give a quick shout-out to this kid walking in the background mind my own business minding my own business anyway back to the actual movie this is my life and you have to let me live it is that really what you want yes if I leave now you're cut off but yes so shockingly Tessa and Harden keep seeing each other and going on these super romantic dates and have pillow fights and they move in together right and everything is just so perfect except of course the biggest problem with any new relationship which is now Tess has to hold her farts in again but besides that surely nothing's gonna come along and ruin this right guys anyway one day Tessa is on the couch reading a book like a nerd and hardens phone suddenly starts getting a whole bunch of texts now Tessa tries to ignore it because she's got to find out if the man in the yellow hats gonna rescue Curious George in time for dinner but the texts keep coming so she takes a little peek at his phone and things look a little suspicious here what's all this about what didn't you tell me nothing I don't know what she's talking about you don't know what she's talking about I need to go what now but an answer me where are you going do you trust me [Music] so harden storms off and it's gone for basically the whole day and he's not answering his phone but then Tessa gets this weird cryptic text from one of hardens friends and heads out to find the truth now she kind of goes on this like wild goose chase for a little bit and ends up at the diner from before all of hardens friends are there and everyone seems to be in on the joke except for Tessa but when harden shows up that's when we all get to know what's really been going on remember truth or dare don't think I can make them fall in love with me you know Tessa I mean look your mom tried to warn you I tried to warn you I told you it's a bad idea to fall for a guy with more red flags didn't like the Beijing Olympics all right I don't know what to tell you I mean it's kind of all on you at this point so anyway Tessa runs away in the rain because hops on a bus back home and has to say those words that every teenager dreads more than anything you were right mom what happened I don't really want to talk about it I came here to say that I'm sorry I'm and then she makes up with no one goes back to school you know just trying to put her life back together after Hardin came in and destroyed everything you know like boys do and after some time passes one day Tessa gets a package from Hardin and against all of our better judgment she opens it and reads his apology letter from Darcy to Heathcliff I thought they were fools that love was something fictional only found in worn pages of a book but that has all changed since I met my Elizabeth Bennet I'm sorry you once asked who I loved most in this world it's you her yeah that's where the movie ends so I guess they're back together now which kind of ruins all the character growth and development that Tess had just had like five seconds ago you know it's like when your friend breaks up with your boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever and then you're like I never even liked them anyway I mean you could do so much better than that they're dumb but then they get back together like the next day and you have to pretend like you didn't just say all that yeah so this movies kind of like exactly what I thought it was gonna be although to be honest here if this was our lifetime or like the Hallmark Channel or something like it would be fine I guess but for a full-on movie in movie theaters based on a best-selling book I mean what were they trying to do here to be fair I'm sure the actors and everyone probably did the best they could with what they were given but like this makes the Twilight movies look like masterpieces you know the thing about this movie that kind of struck me is that washes is I mean it's pretty dumb for a lot of reasons but the thing that really kind of hit me was how it's just like so generic you know it's like I've seen a lot of romance movies and they all have some kind of twist or you know thing that makes them different or special right it's like you know someone's a vampire so into werewolves you know I mean there's like a million different things but this movie everything about it is so generic you know the good girl who reads books and that that makes her a little bit different and that's how you know she's a good girl she reads books and then she falls for the bad boy who wears all black it has tattoos it's such a cliche story that it makes it maybe seem a little Dumber than it is you know again as someone who's seen so many movies like I'm just so jaded I guess at this point where it's like I mean if your movie if you're if your teen romance movie doesn't have vampires fighting dragons at this point like don't even bother you don't I mean but even still I guess the thing that really ruined the movie for me you know cuz clearly I'm the target audience for this movie is the ending the ending seems so weird to me I mean I know it's kind of romantic like oh he learns that love is real and his whole life has changed because he met this girl who's super boring but like this movie could have almost kind of been like 500 days of summer just reversed where it's like they go through this whole thing and then at the end she realizes what's really important and she grows and becomes more mature and more wise and whatever and that could have been a good ending to a mediocre movie you know I mean but the fact that like she goes through all this stuff and she puts her life back together and she supposedly learns all these lessons and then I guess they get back together like it's like if it feels like she goes through all this stuff for no reason I don't know it's weird it's a pretty dumb movie but still it made for what I think is a pretty good video I think this is one of my recent favorites anyway thank you so much for watching don't
