After movie review - Aussieboyreviews
IS THE SEX AS FREQUENT AS IT LOOKS IN AFTER?
Surprisingly, the sexual content is just occasional. But that doesn’t mean After isn’t slow, dramatic and average which it is. Most young teens will be appropriate audiences for this romantic drama.
Storyline
Tessa Young is a dedicated young student, a dutiful daughter and a loyal girlfriend to her high school sweetheart, who is entering her first semester of college. When she meets Hardin Scott, a mysterious and secretive guy who makes her question all she thought she knew about herself, she ends up falling in love.

Aussie boy's thoughts
Characters meet – get to know each other – immediately get sexual… That’s what makes After a predictable and average romance/drama. Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes Tiffin star in this college drama as well-acted but incredibly unlikeable characters. And like most of these disappointing teen romance films today, they go through dramatic issues throughout their relationship and deal with peer pressure.
Not only are the characters super average, but the story is completely predictable. There are plenty of fully expected and obvious turns. However, the music is actually pretty decent and the film is well-produced. Audiences getting started on romance movies may find this movie “hitting-the-spot”, but most will find the film boring and should spend their money on something else… almost anything else…
Therefore, it’s easy to say or just believe that the books were much better. After would be a decent recommendation to teen fans of romantic college dramas, but to others this film is a terrible waste of time (which it is).
