“	Lara Jean is officially Peter's girlfriend, so everything should be perfect, right? But feelings grow complicated when an old crush reenters her life.	”
—Official Netflix Description^[1]

P.S. I Still Love You, also known as To All the Boys 2: P.S. I Still Love You, is an American teen romance film directed by Michael Fimognari and starring Lana Condor, Noah Centineo, Jordan Fisher, Janel Parrish, Anna Cathcart, Madeleine Arthur, Emilija Baranac and John Corbett. Based on Jenny Han's 2015 novel of the same name, it was released by Netflix on February 12th, 2020.

Synopsis

It's a new year and Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and Peter (Noah Centineo) are no longer pretending to be a couple. They ARE a couple. And, as Lara Jean navigates a trove of official firsts with Peter — her first real kiss, her first real date, her first Valentine's Day — she finds herself leaning more on Kitty and Margot (Anna Cathcart and Janel Parrish), Chris (Madeleine Arthur), and an unexpected new confidant, Stormy (Holland Taylor), to help her manage the complex emotions that come with this new chapter of balancing a relationship and figuring out her authentic self. But when John Ambrose (Jordan Fisher), another recipient of one of Lara Jean's old love letters, enters her life again she must rely on herself more than ever as she's confronted with her first real dilemma: Can she love two boys at the same time?^[2]

Production

Development

In August 2018, Jenny Han, author of the source novel, said of a film sequel to To All the Boys I've Loved Before, which would adapt Han's second book in the series, P.S. I Still Love You:

“

There's so many things in the second book that I would love to see in a sequel. The whole reason why I wrote a second book was for the character of John Ambrose McClaren, who is a fan favorite, and he's a favorite of mine too. I would love to see that explored, and also there's a character called Stormy that I love to write. I would love to see that.

”

In November 2018, it was reported that Netflix and Paramount Pictures' Awesomeness Films were in discussions to produce a sequel, and Netflix announced the development of a sequel featuring Condor and Centineo in December 2018. In March 2019, it was reported that Michael Fimognari, cinematographer on the first film, would make his feature film directorial debut with the sequel, taking over from the original film's director Susan Johnson, who would stay on to executive produce. It was also announced that Parrish, Cathcart and Corbett would return to co-star.

On December 20, 2018, Lana Condor announced on her Instagram that a sequel to To All the Boys I've Loved Before (film) was definitely happening.^[3]

The sequel has also cast Jordan Fisher as John Ambrose McClaren, a past love of Lara Jean's, and Ross Butler as Trevor Pike, one of Peter's best friends. Madeleine Arthur will reprise her role as Chris, while Holland Taylor and Sarayu Blue have joined the cast as Stormy McClaren and Trina Rothschild respectively.

On March 28, 2019, it was announced that Jordan Fisher was going to replace Jordan Burtchett as John Ambrose McClaren in the sequel.^[4] This generated mixed feelings from the fandom with many saying that they, while not minding the fact that Fisher had been cast, preferred Burtchett to Fisher and had already been excited to see him portray John Ambrose McClaren. Shortly after, Burtchett released a video stating that he was grateful for his fans' support until now and was saddened by the fact that Netflix chose to recast him without giving him any sort of notice beforehand. After the video had caused many fans to attack other actors involved in the movie, especially Fisher, and Netflix, Burtchett took the video down because he didn't approve of the attacks against others and didn't want to be part of it.^[5] Reasons as to why John Ambrose McClaren was recast are unclear.

Due to conflicting schedules, director Susan Johnson was replaced by Michael Fimognari.^[6]

Filming

Principal photography began in Vancouver, British Columbia and the surrounding areas on March 27, 2019. As with the first film, scenes at Lara Jean's high school were filmed at Point Grey Secondary School. Principal photography wrapped on May 10, 2019.

Release

The first trailer for To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You was released on 19 December 2019, revealing that the movie would be released exclusively on Netflix on February 12, 2020.

Reception

On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 73% based on 45 reviews, with an average rating of 6.56/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "To All the Boys: P.S. I Love You [sic] may feel like little more than an amiable postscript to its predecessor, but fans of the original should still find this a swoonworthy sequel." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 54 out of 100, based on reviews from 16 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com gave the film 2 1/2 stars out of 4, and wrote that "its enjoyment will depend largely on whether you want Peter to be the main boy that Lara loves, or not." He added, "It's hard to get past the hope that Lara Jean will someday soon get something better—a better boyfriend, and a better movie."
