Imagine being Harry Styles living your life and some girl on wattpad makes you this toxic and abusive asshole as some kind of "I can fix him" fantasy... _Yikes_
He actually didn’t do that. Anna Todd (the author) said that she tried to distance the character from the muse (Harry). And the singer didn’t have a comment about that. But I still believe she did harm in creating this character with a lot of toxic masculinity. I don’t know what she was thinking. I don’t see that for Harry at all.
All of the characters who point out that Tessa and Hardin are a toxic couple who shouldn't be together are immediately villainised... Only for them to be 100% right!
One of the hills that I'll die on is that if this was marketed as a thriller or it was made very obvious that this shouldn't be an aspirational dynamic for anyone, it could've been a dope commentary on how toxic relationships happen and are normalized and romanticized
When it was coming out and I saw the commercials, that's exactly what I thought it was!!!!! I legit thought it was a thriller and wanted to see it for that reason. I was shocked and utterly disappointed 😭
i went to the theatre to see this movie when it first came out. i vividly recall someone saying “booh, that was wack” at the start of the end credits and the entire theatre erupted more than it had during the film itself. 😂
I would never put you guys through that atrocious book series but as someone who read the books when they were on Wattpad and Hardin was still Harry while the other 1D members were also part of the plot (mostly zayn as the bigger bad boy to make Hardin look better in comparison), it really is as toxic as you think if not more so. He literally took the sheets she bled on when he took her virginity and showed it as proof to his "friends". He also did these things to NUMEROUS other girls. Also he was waaaay more manipulative, Tessa was a shitty character but everytime she tried to break away or demand more from him, he would turn on her and make HER feel like the problem. Claiming he loved her in the same breath as his many many lies, bring up how she doesn't trust him even tho he NEVER gave her a reason to. God it was awful, just 3+ books of that with 100+ chps, rinse and repeat. And then the plot tried to justify it with ✨just trauma things ✨ literally acknowledging Hardin's anger management issues but doing ZERO to make him grow. And she's just supposed to forgive him everytime bc "true love" even though she literally breaks down so many times, dealing with so much of his shit. I'll never forgive the publishing industry for picking THIS of all things to throw so much money at and market it as a romance to young girls 🤢 it's just beyond EVIL. (The movie really toned it down ofc)
Handshake and commiserative pat on the back from someone who also read it on Wattpad- we all deserve financial compensation for having lived thru that, and every young impressionable girl who reads it because they published it to a far bigger audience does too
I was too scared to read it! Every comment on any Harry fanfic mentioned it but made it sound so horrible (writing-wise & plot-wise). edit: I liked my fanfics either sweet or gangster/corporate related. Oh, and a main girl with a back bone & not one dimensional 💀
Props to you and to everyone who read this shit show. I couldn't bring myself to read it but I watched many book review videos. The movie really toned Hardin down. 👏🍻
Ewwwww this is so horrid. Why would people support Hardin???? It reminds me of a dark Niall fanfic about a girl who was ghostwriting 1D who was portrayed as all bad boys, but Niall was super possessive.
I was a huge 1D fan back in the day and I've never seen this. The "you don't have to cover up" line had me rolling. Can't believe they quoted What Makes You Beautiful during a sex scene, so cringe and hilarious!
I understand this is a fictional story, but how did her mother get into the dormitory so easily? Don’t you usually need to have a student ID, or be accompanied by the person you’re visiting? And it’s terrifying to imagine even a *college residence* is not an escape from your parents! 😵
😂 I think it would be highly entertaining to see ya’ll review 365 days and the sequel. It is HORRIBLE and my fiancé and I just spent the whole first movie laughing 😂
As harry should. If someone wrote a fanfic about me and then it was adapted into a movie, and this was the movie... i'd block the author too. hell, i wouldn't stop there. i'd block the author, the cast members, the director, the producer, anyone involved with this dumpster fire of a franchise that my name will forever be attached to.
Actually in the wattpad story Hardin had to take her virginity, after he did it he saved the condom and the bloody sheets to have some proof. But in the movie i think it was just to make her fall in love with him
love how cindy knows about that scene with hardin yelling FOKING TREVUHH😭 watching u guys react to this was really entertaining!! the after series is just so fun to make fun of lol
i dont understand quoting books in real life unless its as a joke 😭 i like reading and there are quotes i do like and even go back to but its all better in my head lol
even funny quotes I hate saying outloud, if I really had to share I'd point at the page and go "read this part lmao". I've never met someone who unironically recites quotes in normal conversation 😭
Cindy - EVERY time I go to the dentist, he tells me how small my mouth is. He does his standard greetings when he enters the room and then BAM - just attacks me like that. 😅 I've lost count at how many times he has said it.
Yes I watched it in cinema but we got shushed so much for laughing and watched two separate groups of people walk out which added to the dramaaa. So. I don't regret it. Someone literally answered their phone in the cinema that's how boring it was
the book is extremely toxic…the goal in the book is for her to sleep with him, not to fall in love with him and he even keeps the bloody sheets so he can show his friends….
I recently read all the books and yes it's true. Hardin is way more toxic in the books doing so much more shit that was cut off from the movie. The sad part is that in the end Hardin and Tessa end up together and they even have 2 kids. Young girls who will read these books will think that that kind of relationship is ok when it is not!
I literally JUST rewatched y'all watching Twilight and Tall Girl this morning. Also the mom is Selma Blair who is a pretty famous actress. I know her from Legally Blonde and Cruel Intentions lol
Storytime: When I was in middle school, we had to choose a book to show our class and talk about it and one of my classmates chose After (the first one). Her presentation was just her basically talking nonstop about the book's plot and even the teacher told her to stop telling everything bc we wouldn't want to read it (and she was quite anoying, at least for me). When she was talking about Tessa, I remember one of my classmates comparing her to me! Maybe it was bc she conveied that Tessa was a nerd and itelligent (and a good girl) in general and at the time I liked the compliment. Nowadays, I hate to think that I was compared to this stupid character from a wattpad fanfic. If I knew at the time how bad this movie was, my self-esteem would have lowered so much. (Also, I don't think that classmate intended to offend me, we were just kids and we didn't get the memo at the time.)
Ok so I've read the entirety of this thing on Wattpad, like back in the day when Hardin was still shamelessly called Harry, when I was... what, 13 or something. And even then I only kept reading it because the writing style captivated me- the plot and the characters and everything was buckwild and not very memorable as evidenced by me lol, but the way she wrote was really seamless (or seemed so to me at 13). I haven't watched the movie bcs I value my sanity and I have taste now, and tho I don't remember a lot of the book, I do remember it was way worse than what I've seen of the movie reviews. Anyway this is a caution to anyone wanting to read the books- just don't. The story drags on way too much, everyone's either dumb or toxic or straight up abusive, it's disgusting and very upsetting at times, and you'll come out of the series, if you even manage to finish it (that would be a feat), having lost hours of your time and having gained nothing. Someone mentioned heartstopper in the comments, and that's absolutely the opposite of this trash series- if you're bored, go make your life a little better by read the adorable comics. Also, unrelated, but I love your hair ellias :D It's really cute and the highlights suit you. Hope you have a wonderful day! (And buy yourself a treat for having sat through that boring nightmare)
I never forgot how Steph (red hair) started out as the "cool roomate" but in the 2nd or 3rd book tried to get Tessa raped. Molly (pink bitch) saving her from that was always such a crazy turnaround at the time when it was still being released on wattpad. Like why was that a whole plot
I went to the theatre and watched all of them because I have all the books, & I was obsessed when I was 12. Anyways these books caused me to stay in a physically abusive relationship for four years, thinking abuse was normal.
@@camsreel5414 I think they mean that France is anti Islam and even banned girls to wear a headscarf. Women aren’t allowed to wear one when picking kids up from school and stuff like that.
@@camsreel5414 yes, france has banned headscarves and the burqa and apparently want to become secular, meaning wholly non-religious - they claim they're enforcing a ban on all religious wear but.. i think we all know which group it's primarily focused on. and it's unfortunate.
After you finish watching all the after movies and all the fifty shades of grey movies you should also definitely watch the 365 days movies and the Gabriel's inferno movies. Trust me you don't want to miss out on such quality cinema...
Sooo storytime 😂 my roommates and I went to the theaters (the one that had like only three movie options type of theater). So anyways one late Friday night we went to watch 6 feet a part and once it finished we came out of the assigned theater room but we were all down to watch another movie. We scanned what sounded interesting between the other two options ( it was either After or some action film) and so we ended up picking After not knowing what it was about at all but the movie poster convinced us. Since it was the last showing it was only us, another group of girls in front of us and a elderly couple behind us. The girls were hilarious as they were commentating and the gasps from the couple 😂 We laughed so hard throughout because of how cringing the movie was. It wasn’t until after we got back to our apartment we looked up what it was all about that we laughed about it 😂 Edit: the movie five feet apart lol not 6 😂
6:04 Bruh, I've seen multiple reviews and commentaries about this, Amanda the Jedi does a wonderful series on it, but I still thought that was her brother when I watched this one
My favourite thing I've read about this series is that the author Anna Todd wasn't even a One Direction or Harry Styles fan, she just liked the way he looked and decided to write a story with the One Direction guys in it because any fan fiction about them got views. From what I've heard she's a very nice person, so honestly good for her for getting a lucrative book and movie deal from a story she wrote as a teen and put on the internet.
@@laura.r365 Y'all shouldn't spread misinformation like that. Anyway, yeah I'm 5 months late. Harry was like 19. It really irks me when ppl try to make out the author like some predator when she wasn't. It's okay to hate her content but don't spread nasty rumors like that that could potentially cost her reputation.
I swear the entire After series is just pure horror, like it makes me so uncomfortable I can’t even explain it Also I’m still not over how there are supposedly 6 movies…meaning there are 3 more coming (don’t know if that’s true but if it is please just stop)
im glad to confirm that i did NOT watch it in theaters nor on netflix, i wasn't gonna spend a single dime on it. that being said, i still had to see how bad it was and watched it on some random website illegally because i hate myself
The two things that I see all reactors do is think that Noah was her brother and that Molly’s actress was familiar. Which is funny cuz I thought the same thing 😭
Oh trust me Hardin is a million times more toxic in the books 😂 (and yeah I put myself through 2 weeks of agonizing torture as I was reading this series and I wish I could get that time back). The movies made the story a lot less problematic
@@sadisticwinter8354 I didn’t read Before coz I was sick of Hardin but my best friend and I took it as a challenge to read the first 4 books and we were cringing and trolling it the entire time lmaooo. The books were so bad but we had a blast
Hahaha. I love how much they hate the boyfriend character because of how passive aggressive and annoying he is given that was a movie script change likely done to make the character dislikable and “worth cheating on.” Apparently in the book, he was just a sweet but boring guy. Also that Ellias and Cindy are guessing the end of the movie early on, haha.
@@jeffisjeff5511 - Oh absolutely! Cheating is never okay. But by making him seem stifling in the movie, it provides more obvious evidence that Tessa is unhappy in her relationship and wants something different. In the book, Noah is just kind, patient, devoted, etc., which makes Tessa's jump to Hardin look more selfish. But you can see how this change in the movie makes the general viewership less sympathetic to Noah.
@@Rikrobat no sorry I was agreeing with you! Because it seemed like you weren’t okay with the cheating either especially in the books which I never read.
@@jeffisjeff5511 - I haven’t read the books either, haha; only reciting information I’ve gotten from other reviews that have. It’s definitely a notable change, likely attempting to make Tessa “seem” less of a horrible person.
@@Rikrobat yeah! In the second movie I was so mad she tried to slut shame someone like JEEZ who cares if she does stuff with a lot of men or whatever. As long as she doesn’t purposely spread STD’s, cheat on their lover (like if you want to be a slut make it clear to your lover type of stuff), or knowingly ruin a relationship (which would also he the others party’s fault for cheating) then i don’t see the problem! I honestly still didn’t let go of the slut shaming and cheating. In the first movie after she cheated and broke up with her boyfriend I was like “um so like…are we just gonna forget you broke your boyfriends heart? Or you’re still gonna have fun with that other guy?” But for some reason the movies were entertaining? Expect those sexual scenes. They made me do uncomfortable…btw when I looked on the most liked reviews at least on the book app they talked about how they loved it…which is concerning..they can like it, but the abuse guys….
You probably won't read this post. But, as a person in recovery from drugs and alcohol, this movie series is one big PSA for Alcoholics Anonymous, and our sister group Al-anon.
I read the books and he’s much more toxic in there.In the book the bet is her virginity but they changed it in the movie.I’m dead when Cindy is really a comedian.It was the longing stares that made them fall in love faster💀
I read this waaayy before when it was still fan fiction for harry styles, it wasn’t that good, but also, they totally could’ve chosen a better name than hardin. 😂
The best thing is that Hardin is Voldemorts nephew and … it checks P.s. this is true in THE real life ahahah Ralph Fiennes is Hero Fiennes-Tiffin’s uncle lol Edit: AND YES Josephine Langford and Katherine Langford AKA Miss Hannah Baker ARE sisters ahahaha we love nepotism
same my friend was obsessed w this fic (called herself tessa all the time) and but i thought harry was annoying af. i didn’t even get to the problematic stuff bc i just thought he was annoying dbsj.
Okay! Movie was bad but this series was so fast to read. You won’t believe me if I said I read the whole series in a week as a newbie reader. I enjoyed it inspite of it being toxic. Well, as an adult I don’t really like it as much as I did when I read it. The sequel is way better. You should react to it. This reaction was so much fun.
Thank you for watching this movie so we didn’t have to. It looks so boring, I was hoping he would be revealed as a vampire when she cut her finger. *disappoint* Also he played young Tom Riddle in HPB?! Maybe that’s why I didn’t like his vibes lol.

Oh trust me Hardin is a million times more toxic in the books 😂 (and yeah I put myself through 2 weeks of agonizing torture as I was reading this series and I wish I could get that time back). The movies made the story a lot less problematic
You read all of them?? Omg, I couldn't make it through the first 5 chapters on Wattpad!
@@sadisticwinter8354 I didn’t read Before coz I was sick of Hardin but my best friend and I took it as a challenge to read the first 4 books and we were cringing and trolling it the entire time lmaooo. The books were so bad but we had a blast
Hahaha. I love how much they hate the boyfriend character because of how passive aggressive and annoying he is given that was a movie script change likely done to make the character dislikable and “worth cheating on.” Apparently in the book, he was just a sweet but boring guy.
Also that Ellias and Cindy are guessing the end of the movie early on, haha.
Even if he was like that it doesn’t make cheating okay anyways
@@jeffisjeff5511 - Oh absolutely! Cheating is never okay. But by making him seem stifling in the movie, it provides more obvious evidence that Tessa is unhappy in her relationship and wants something different. In the book, Noah is just kind, patient, devoted, etc., which makes Tessa's jump to Hardin look more selfish. But you can see how this change in the movie makes the general viewership less sympathetic to Noah.
@@Rikrobat no sorry I was agreeing with you! Because it seemed like you weren’t okay with the cheating either especially in the books which I never read.
@@jeffisjeff5511 - I haven’t read the books either, haha; only reciting information I’ve gotten from other reviews that have. It’s definitely a notable change, likely attempting to make Tessa “seem” less of a horrible person.
@@Rikrobat yeah! In the second movie I was so mad she tried to slut shame someone like JEEZ who cares if she does stuff with a lot of men or whatever. As long as she doesn’t purposely spread STD’s, cheat on their lover (like if you want to be a slut make it clear to your lover type of stuff), or knowingly ruin a relationship (which would also he the others party’s fault for cheating) then i don’t see the problem! I honestly still didn’t let go of the slut shaming and cheating. In the first movie after she cheated and broke up with her boyfriend I was like “um so like…are we just gonna forget you broke your boyfriends heart? Or you’re still gonna have fun with that other guy?” But for some reason the movies were entertaining? Expect those sexual scenes. They made me do uncomfortable…btw when I looked on the most liked reviews at least on the book app they talked about how they loved it…which is concerning..they can like it, but the abuse guys….
YALL ARE ACTUALLY INSANE FOR GUESSING THAT SO EARLY 🤣🤣🤣
Am I the only one distracted by Ellias' pretty hair? Love it!
You probably won't read this post. But, as a person in recovery from drugs and alcohol, this movie series is one big PSA for Alcoholics Anonymous, and our sister group Al-anon.
I love watching people shit on this movie, especially you two. This is awesome!
You and Cindy watching movies together is my absolute favorite thing
I read the books and he’s much more toxic in there.In the book the bet is her virginity but they changed it in the movie.I’m dead when Cindy is really a comedian.It was the longing stares that made them fall in love faster💀
Econ 101 in the college I went to was a weeder class, so basically half of each class failed (in order to weed out the business major prospects)
Ellias guessing the whole plot in the first 10 minutes of watch it lol
You should review Heartstopper together!!! Get some positive vibes
Ooh Ellias why don't you react to heart stopper next time! I 've heard that it's really good.
2:20 I see you breaking the ‘Asians are good at math’ stereotype 😌
I read this waaayy before when it was still fan fiction for harry styles, it wasn’t that good, but also, they totally could’ve chosen a better name than hardin. 😂
Loved the musical interlude.
the way you guessed the big "plot twist" not even half-way through the movie 😂😂
Why is the AFTER franchise increasing with size theres a comic book coming out too how do they keep on getting funded
The way you guys predicted the whole movie not even halfway through it was hilarious
The best thing is that Hardin is Voldemorts nephew and … it checks
P.s. this is true in THE real life ahahah Ralph Fiennes is Hero Fiennes-Tiffin’s uncle lol
Edit: AND YES Josephine Langford and Katherine Langford AKA Miss Hannah Baker ARE sisters ahahaha we love nepotism
My teenage self feels avenged now that ppl are finally reacting to this this way. Lmao I was too woke for my times
same my friend was obsessed w this fic (called herself tessa all the time) and but i thought harry was annoying af. i didn’t even get to the problematic stuff bc i just thought he was annoying dbsj.
The way I would watch you react to the whole movie XD NOW WE NEED YOU GUYS TO REACT TO THE SEQUEL!
The way that Tessa and Hardin literally look exactly the same is so so weird to me
unfortunately i did read this at 13 and i really did eat this shit up :/
thanks for watching this so i don't have to
I cried watching this💀
Holy shit yes I’m so excited for the rest of the reactions to this crappy movie series🥳 thank you for uploading!
I remember reading around half of the first After fanfic when I younger
Lol I just got an ad for Don't Worry Darling.. very fitting 😂😂
You two are adorable, subbed! 🥰🥰
I swear these uncut thumbnail footages tho lmaooooo
As a straight girl, i have to say, this whole franchise is BS
Not Ellias predicting the entire movie
I need you guys to watch the rest of the series now because this commentary video was hilarious! ♥️
I have no interest in this movie but I was very invested in your insightful commentary, thank you shhshs
Okay! Movie was bad but this series was so fast to read. You won’t believe me if I said I read the whole series in a week as a newbie reader. I enjoyed it inspite of it being toxic. Well, as an adult I don’t really like it as much as I did when I read it.
The sequel is way better. You should react to it. This reaction was so much fun.
I love that you thought Noah was her brother
Thank you for watching this movie so we didn’t have to. It looks so boring, I was hoping he would be revealed as a vampire when she cut her finger. *disappoint*
Also he played young Tom Riddle in HPB?! Maybe that’s why I didn’t like his vibes lol.
I watched this movie and wanted to throw my eyes away.
The third one is very uneventful imo but the SECOND movie... just y'all wait, it gets worse (better)
As someone that read all of After (wattpad edition) the guy that plays Zed/Zayn looks more like Hardin than Hardin does
oh no why would you put yourselves through this mess lmao
