After We Collided movie review - Aussieboyreviews
DOES THE SEQUEL’S SEX, LANGUAGE AND THEMES TAKE OVER THE PLOT OF AFTER WE COLLIDED?
Just like the first film, this unoriginal and average romance-drama’s plot is boring. But there’s lots more strong sex, language and even some violence — and it weakens the story.
Storyline
As Tessa finds herself struggling in her troubled relationship with Hardin, she faces a dilemma that could change their lives forever.

Aussie boy's thoughts
In case it wasn’t implied to you, the sequel to After is heavily weakened by the amount of sexual content and language. Plus the story isn’t even near as compelling as the first, but still manages to coat us with its immaturely dramatic issues.
Firstly, the characters fighting for their toxic relationship is just a terrible idea, whether it’s real or fictional. Tessa and Hardin are unlikeable characters who are frequently arguing, making out and making love, which just honestly gets people thinking: What is this film even supposed to be? The romance is completely immature and the whole plot is unrealistic. And even if After We Collided was a good story, it would still be ruined by the amount of explicit material.
Now, the terribly-written script would probably have to be the most noticeable thing about this romantic sequel. Anna Todd and Mario Celaya rely on overstated voiceovers, ridiculous themes and swearing, which is disappointing considering that the first film wasn’t as strong when it came to that unnecessary content.
After We Collided’s pace is slow and that’s why it scores a bad review. There are so many ways to describe this teen romance film: immature, dramatic, boring, pointless, explicit and completely toxic.
