Netflix has released the official full-length trailer for the highly anticipated adaptation ofJenny Han’s bestselling YA novelTo All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. Scripted bySofia Alvarez(Man Seeking Woman) and directed bySusan Johnson(Carrie Pilby), the film starsLana Condoras a somewhat introverted high school teenager who harbors a major secret: she’s written love letters to all her crushes, but keeps them tightly locked away in a box in her closet. Unfortunately, one day she discovers that someone has sent all the letters out, revealing her deepest secrets to the five boys she’s ever loved.
This movie looks absolutely fantastic. It’s got a lot of charm, a swell sense of humor, a terrific lead actress, and a genuine sweetness to it—basically the perfect formula for a great romantic comedy. Netflix is fresh off the success ofSet It Up, the insanely rewatchable romantic comedy starringZoey DeutchandGlen Powell, andTo All the Boys I’ve Loved Beforelooks to fit that bill as well. It’s also got a heavy built-in audience based on the popularity of the source material, and if movies like this andSet It Upare the future of Netflix’s original feature films, I am here. for. it.
Most people probably know Lana Condor from her brief supporting role as Jubilee inX-Men: Apocalypse, but here she gets the chance to shine as the lead, and she looks to be doing a tremendous job. Even visually this thing looks striking and unique, not simply a “point and shoot” romcom. So yeah, you could say I’m excited for this one.
