I have friends who work for diplomatic folks (Americans) but they might know people, so I'll give them a ring! International law is not my specialty, but I got lots of other lawyer pals who do it!
Generally speaking I don’t think people being friends with exes is a problem. But in this specific context considering Gen posted revenge porn (I know they didn’t actually sleep together) of Peter and LJ I think Lara Jean is well within her rights to not want Gen around.
@@manasas868 its not that he didnt believe it. he knew but he denied it to LJ which honestly is equally as bad because it made her feel as if her emotions and thoughts weren't valid.
I've noticed that in a lot of "Love Triangle" movies, there's typically a POC love interest who swoops into the sequel, threatening the usually white couple's relationship, but the couple will ultimately stay together. Marco and Chloe from "The Kissing Booth", Jacob from "Twilight", Tommy from "Tall Girl"... It's an uncomfortable trend!
Makes me uncomfortable as well. Then some of time the POC love interest ends up being the better love interest for the main character. [To all the boys I loved before][The kissing booth]
@@19Rena96 You’re right. In the first movie, he’s white. The movie even ended with a white John Ambrose knocking on Lara Jean’s front door. Also in the books he’s white as well.
I love how relatively mature and non-toxic the kids in these movies are. You can have drama where people are mostly trying to do the right thing or making understandable mistakes, rather than cartoonish villainy.
I think the reason Laura Jean compares her relationship with Peter to his previous relationship is specifically because Jen is his ex. If his ex were some other girl that she didn't know, I don't think she would have been so insecure, but since she has her own past friendship and current bad blood with Jen, it's a very different story.
I really like the gentleness of these films, and it really does feel true to teenage relationships. I especially feel like the damaged friendship between Lara Jean and Jen is very realistic, how things spiral out of a tiny incident etc and how there's still a connection. Also yes friends with exes is totally possible, it all depends on the ex of course and how the relationship ended. Sometimes it's best to wait for a bit before being friends but yes, it's absolutely possible. PS Really glad to hear Maria is safely in Poland! Great news.
I genuinely can’t tell if they thought she dressed up as a “mustard sandwich/grilled cheese”,when she was supposed to be French Toast(hence the beret)😂
@@fireproof2767 that's just how some people refer to it I remember I had one friend from there who's mother would occasionally call it that it relatively has the same meaning "borderlands"
24:44 can i just say i love this dynamic of sam explaining something romantic he did for someone and stef just being like, "yea that's romantic as shit" like exactly, talk your shit!
Josh, (the neighbor boy) was suppost to be in this movie as his character is a big part of the second book, but the actor was fired from this film because of some sort of rant he went on. At least that's what I heard. I could be wrong. Btw, glad Maria is ok.
He made a handful of racist tweets and liked a whole bunch of alt-right posts on Twitter. Like, after a 7.0 earthquake rocked Tohoku, Japan and killed at least 15,000 people, he tweeted: “Dogs can sense earthquakes. Too bad Japan ate them all.” And mind you, he was 17 years old when he tweeted that. Yuck
“I don’t know how I feel about the red shoes, it’s color coordinated”. “Yeah something is off” 😂 I’m kinda glad y’all brought this up! I’m not a fan of the outfit design for these movies 😭
"why are they standing in the middle of the running track?" I think it's because it's where they had their first kiss? When Laura Jean assaulted Peter to escape other dude lol
This franchise is honestly sweet and I live that they finally made a modern day RomCom. Nothing will ever be cuter to me that he came to pick her up when it snowed after her saying on the beginning of the movie the only things that scare her are driving in the snow, and parking. Lol
i really like this sequel, the second book was my favorite one and they did a pretty good job with it!! specially this take on the love triangle trope where no one is the bad guy and the choice is genuinely hard for the main character, it's all very sweet.
Give Maria an extra hug from all of us when you see her. I hope you both know how many people all over the world support you both and are doing all we can to help. Sending you all the love, also another amazing video you guys 👏♥️😊
Thank you SOOOO much for the update! Always sending prayers and best wishes her way and for EVERYONE there. SO glad she is currently safe. Stay safe!!❤️❤️❤️
I love listening to your insights. Also I have to say, with everything going on in my life and in the world, this video made me happy. Thank you. This movie is actually better than what people give it credit for.
@48:26 Spoken like true musicians! While any compliment about music is great, you don't become that comfortable with improvising on a piano by accident. I only knew him from Until Dawn, him being a bomb musician was a pleasant surprise!
This has reminded me that I still haven't watched the third film of this. Being a fan of the books, this film just didn't hit the spot for me. The first film was such a good adaptation and I felt this one fell flat, the characters seemed two dimensional and some of the plots felt underdeveloped. ( I can't help but wonder if it is the change from female to male director that changed the tone) still an enjoyable movie to watch, I just like to pretend it is not based on the book!
I think when it comes to being friends with exes, it totally depends on the people and it depends on the relationship. I'm not friends with any of my exes but I didn't have amicable/mutual breakups with any of them. We tried to be friends and it was always too painful for one of the parties involved. All of my husband's former relationships were the same. It just depends.
Since you guys are music lovers thought you'd like to know a fun fact, "Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun" isn't a Cindy original. It was a guy who sang it first and it's so weird to listen to. 😂
So funny that early in the reaction Steph said something and I was like ‘that’s a similar style of humour as Gravity Falls, I bet he would love that show’ and then right at the end of the vid you quoted it 😂
34:23 the insecurity can be sooo much worst than that and become so toxic, im scared shitless bc i know i am very very insecure about my first anythings, the first time i got into a bus alone i felt like dying, so i cant imagine having a relationship knowing how my feeling go to those extents :/
After falling down a very deep "ice cream truck song" rabbithole I can tell you that "Greensleeves" is not the only one but I think it is the most widely used. Haha "Turkey in the Straw" is also very popular. Here in Colorado they use "Red Wing" (same tune as "Oh Say My Playmate"). (Edit- typo)
So glad you guys did this movie! Just really quick: not all Slytherins are evil, not all Gryffindors are brave, and not all Ravenclaws are smart (Gilderoy Lockhart). I’m sure there’s a Hufflepuff that isn't good but it’s a lot harder to think of.
@@jadahcampbell2448 are you the Hufflepuff who wanted to be a Hufflepuff because your common room is right next to the kitchen? That's the only way I can think of a Hufflepuff not being good lol
Hands down, your channel is climbing up to be one of my favs. I just love the way you guys review movies and how much the character decisions are relatable.
this movie is so cute and it was refreshing to see commentators- especially male commentators- actually understanding why the characters are the way they are and seeing both their good parts and their faults! the one thing i can't get past with this movie is the end shot.... like i get that it's winter but there are sunny days in winter too! why is the big emotional resolution shot with the most grey and drab sky??
True. You can feel how different the story is as well. Like even the lightning. Im fine with it now but it was so bothering looking at in the second movie
Totally agree with the it's okay being friends with exs thing. One of my best friends is my ex and he's dating another of my friends which I actually helped happen, they have been together for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier for them! Of course we broke up on as mutually good terms as a couple can so there was no lingering bitterness but I also have an ex that I hope I'll never see again. I believe it all depends of the people and how the relationship was between them, so I understand if people say that it's impossible because of their experiences.
Do you know how many times I went to your channel yesterday waiting for this update lol, so happy to see she's making her way out, when you told me the other day it was time to go my nerves shot up knowing how difficult they are making it to evacuate.
thanks for the update!!!!! i'm happy shes safe and hope she continues to be. wishing the best out of this situation. my heart goes out to the people of Ukraine.
So far this is the only nice reaction i've seen about this movie. I liked it too and I did have moments of omg really why? But overall it was enjoyable. Glad you guys enjoyed it too.
As someone who loves the book series, there were changes that I hated that they left out. The necklace was way more sentimental than it was in the movie. The snow globe was John Ambrose’s gift to Lara Jean. While I love the star ball, there was a cute USO dance in the book that I really wanted to see on film. More baking than filmed. They made Peter better in the films so film wise I can get behind Lara Jean choosing Peter, but book wise he was a huge jerk across all three.
@Isaiah Pierce I think exactly the same... The songs and the storyline is way better, but we can also take into account that it was done many years after the first one, so for me, that is why is way better...
At the start of my relationship I was really insecure about my boyfriend’s ex, but now that I actually know her and stuff, it doesn’t really bother me and we’re actually kind of friends
Update on Maria is that she is now in Poland and on her way to Krakow!
Thanks to everyone for the love and support 😊
I'm so glad that Maria is alright now. I'll continue to keep her in my prayers.
so glad to hear she's okay! sending nothing but love for both of you
So happy to hear she is safe
So happy to hear that! Wishing you guys all the best

yep I completely agree
And also after all that Peter still don't believe that gen posted that. Which still pisses me off
@@manasas868 its not that he didnt believe it. he knew but he denied it to LJ which honestly is equally as bad because it made her feel as if her emotions and thoughts weren't valid.
Agreed - Stef
@YLIA no it was definitely gen. It's not specifically stated but there's a scene that points all evidence to Jen.

Funny thing is John Ambrose wasn't a POC in the first movie, like in the flashback, if I remember correctly
@@19Rena96 You’re right. In the first movie, he’s white. The movie even ended with a white John Ambrose knocking on Lara Jean’s front door. Also in the books he’s white as well.
Right idek why they keep doing that
The POC love interest is also almost always depicted as the safer option
I love how relatively mature and non-toxic the kids in these movies are. You can have drama where people are mostly trying to do the right thing or making understandable mistakes, rather than cartoonish villainy.
And there it is. You pretty much summed up exactly what I like about this series so much 😁 - Stef

Gentleness is the perfect term
The fact that her costume was "French Toast" went totally over their heads was tragic
I genuinely can’t tell if they thought she dressed up as a “mustard sandwich/grilled cheese”,when she was supposed to be French Toast(hence the beret)😂
I'm so glad someone said something 😂 like guys that's not cheese it's a pad of butter
The necklace was even more meaningful in the book because she saw it and loved it book one and he saved for a long time to get it for her
And the entire third book is more meaningful and better than the movie ....
@@frozen_blondy2076 i couldn't get through the movie, it was sooo boring, couldn't believe they bothered with making it
I am so happy that she is okay. Good look for both of you, and all the People from Ucrânia. Love your channel, love you guys

So excited for this vid! I started watching you guys when you watched the first TALBILB and I loved your commentary on it
As someone who loves the book series, there were changes that I hated that they left out.
The necklace was way more sentimental than it was in the movie.
The snow globe was John Ambrose’s gift to Lara Jean.
While I love the star ball, there was a cute USO dance in the book that I really wanted to see on film.
More baking than filmed.
They made Peter better in the films so film wise I can get behind Lara Jean choosing Peter, but book wise he was a huge jerk across all three.
He was a deviled egg and she was French toast.. lol
33:20 was hilarious; I GUFFAWED at this!!
Pray for both of you to have safe travels and a happy reunion❤️
I'm glad you guys are doing this series! It's one of my favorites. I think you'll both like the 3rd one too!
I really hope she makes it out safe prayers to both of you be safe.
Stef and I are rocking the same shirt. Twin Budz!
Can't wait for cheetah girls
I'm really happy Maria's safe

@Isaiah Pierce demi was really aggressive in the 2nd one though
@Isaiah Pierce I think exactly the same... The songs and the storyline is way better, but we can also take into account that it was done many years after the first one, so for me, that is why is way better...
Jordan Fisher who plays John ambrose is a broadway star, he was in dead even Hansen on broadway for a stint
i NEED you two to see the broken hearts gallery. it’s so underrated and is the cutest and funniest romance movie
At the start of my relationship I was really insecure about my boyfriend’s ex, but now that I actually know her and stuff, it doesn’t really bother me and we’re actually kind of friends
Continuing praying for you, Maria & everyone in Ukraine. Much love and strength to everyone
It is good to hear that Maria is okay. I hope everything goes well. Stay safe
Checked out this movie cuz of you guys, I was surprised to see people dislike this one, I actually preferred it over the first one.
Greg Laswell Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is my favorite cover of that song
