After, the movie, suffered from a lot of the same problems the book had. Namely, a lack of plot and absolutely no reason our two main characters should like each other or behave the way they do. #After #snarkathon
There are things the movie does better than the book, mostly by virtue of being a movie: strip the content way down, get us out of Tessa's head, montage a bunch of the repetitive stuff. #After #snarkathon
There are choices the movie made to water down Todd's pile of shit: Hardin doesn't punch around town, he doesn't keep their bloody sex sheets, he doesn't ruin a yogurt place, the bet is softened, the mom is more understanding, and Zed is all but removed from the story. #After
Still, After the movie can't come up with what After the book never had: plot, charm, chemistry between the main characters, or any reason anyone should give a flying fuck. #After #snarkathon
The performances were flat, the dialogue was stilted, the story makes less sense when you speed up the timeline even more... Honestly, this was a string of 6 montages with super on the nose music choices. A collection of music videos. The end. #After #snarkathon
This was a celebration of being done with After, by the way! WE DID IT! BYE AFTER! SMELL YA LATER!
