Centineo charms with the same ease he did inTo All the Boys Ive Loved Before.
The film itself is far from perfect.
Implausible Rube Goldberg machinations of the setup aside, most of the side characters are thin as notebook paper.

Theres also maybe three too many jokes about Sierra looking like a man, or a lesbian.
But the movie is also enlivened by an electronic score from Brett McLaughlin (a.k.a.
Leland) and Bram Inscore that makes an old story feel both vital and modern.
Purser is refreshingly relatable, andPeter Kavinksy-obsessed fanswill love getting Centineo as another jock with a heart of gold.
(Deutch also happens to be Lea Thompsons real-life daughter.)
And aside from the obvious Centineo link betweenTATBILBandSBIAL,we get accidental-message-sent plot machinations and charmingly familiar parents.
But we dont watch romantic comedies for groundbreaking plot structure.
All three movies provide rainy-day comfort with the warm and fuzzy familiar.
