There are so many things wrong in this movie. I'm upset with how it turned out. Hardin is problematic, chaotic, and so toxic. He had no character development, other than the same cycle of being "hot", to fighting someone, to throwing stuff, to forgetting anything happened. Where's Tessa's independence? Where's the female empowerment? Where's the individuality? It's almost as if she has nothing to her other than being with Hardin. She even works in publishing, reading, and writing, and they STILL couldn't give her ANY independence and personality? This movie poorly represented diversity. I saw no plot other than s*x, and swearing. There was a bit of * shaming in there, along with Hardin having s*x with Tessa TWICE while she's under the influence of alcohol. Even if she said yes while she was drunk, it doesn't follow the guidelines for consent. If you give full consent to s*x, YOU CANNOT BE DRUNK! Their relationship hadn't changed at all from the first movie. It's a shame people will see this movie, and begin to romanticize a relationship like the one Tessa and Hardin has. Although, because of the toxicity, I'm not sure I can even say they had a relationship, due to the horrible lack of communication. Please stop giving the antagonist, assumably Molly, nothing but the title of a "mean girl." I get it, she's the villain. But * shaming her, calling her a wh*re, and giving her no personality is boring, classic, and cliché. Oh, and I'd appreciate it if you would NOT romanticize and glorify using alcohol as a coping mechanism, along with destroying physical objects, therefore worsening the love interest, and their relationship with the main character.
Oh, but it's ok, we can continue to pretend it's okay to do the following things I've just listed, because we like to ignore those points, do we?
It's not a good movie, just don't waste your time on it.
