The ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before’ Cast Recreated Iconic Teen Movie Moments
If you’ve been a Netflix user this past year, chances are you’ve either watched or been tempted to watch one of the many romantic comedies the streaming giant has been churning out. From When We First Met and Set It Up, to The Kissing Booth, the beloved genre is making a triumphant comeback and their latest submission To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is no different. The charming teen romance tells the tale of Lara Jean Covey, a high school junior who writes letters to the boys she has huge crushes on only for those letters to be mysteriously mailed out, turning her life completely upside down.
The film definitely tugged at the teen heartstrings and featured some callbacks to popular teen movies of the past including Sixteen Candles. Well, the author of the young adult novel the movie is based on, Jenny Han, took the nostalgic charm up a notch when she had some the movie’s awesome cast recreate iconic moments from teen movies of the past.
There was our new OTP Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and Peter (Noah Centineo) recreating Dirty Dancing:

The movie also stars Sex and the City’s Jon Corbett as Lara’s dad with Pretty Little Liars’ Janel Parrish and Descendant’s 2‘ Anna Cathcart as Lara’s sisters. The screenplay was written by Sofia Alvarez and it was directed by Susan Johnson. Everything about To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before from the movie to the cast is absolutely perfect and we need Netflix to make a sequel so that we can have it all over again.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is currently streaming on Netflix!
Having studied Media & Writing at James Madison University, I always knew that I wanted to do some type of creative writing, but being able to write about zombies, Starks, and superheroes on a daily basis for Fan Fest is my actual dream. While I probably shouldn’t be as proud as I am to be so similar to Nick Miller, I do hope to one day write my own “Pepperwood Chronicles’.
