Premise - 13/20 - Tuning in for the awkwardness of love letters being sent out unintentionally. Cast/characters - 15/20 - After seeing Lana Condor in Moonshot and then as the lead Lara Jean in this, I am becoming a fan. John Corbett and Anna Cathcart as Lara Jean's dad and little sister were also enjoyable. The guys were fairly vanilla, which is a bummer for a teen rom-com. Story - 14/20 - I liked it, but it was extremely predictable. Dialogue - 13/20 - The serious conversations were decent, and the family was fun to watch, but most other conversations were a bit silly. World-building - 13/20 - Home, school, whatever. The ski lodge and the hot tub scene was a good setting.
68/100 - 3.5/5 stars - I enjoyed some of the actors, and the story was cute. I'd watch it again and I'll watch the sequels, but I'm not going to plant my flag on them.
