After We Collided

I've sat through much more painful slogs, but 'After we Collided' gave me two hours of insane plot - and while I forgot everything as soon as I left, I'll be back over the next couple of years just to enjoy my cheesy mess in this strange unnecessary franchise.

After We Collided is fond of quoting Wuthering Heights, but it owes more to Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey (the novel, called After, whose film adaptation this is the sequel to, originally appeared on Wattpad, where every asshole can publish regardless of whether or not they should).

Unlike Heathcliff and Catherine (and by extension Romeo and Juliet, begetters of all modern star-crossed lovers), though, Tessa (Josephine Langford) and Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) have absolutely no impediment to their being together other than that they are totally wrong for each other.

The only chemistry...

Despite its flaws, the franchise still shows promise, and the second movie continues with the same concept as the first installment.

However, this sequel fails to build upon the foundation laid by its predecessor. It lacks the necessary development and progression, simply meandering along without any real direction or growth.

While it's a movie that you can watch once and be content with, it doesn't leave a lasting impression that would compel you to revisit or relive the experience again....

The best entry in the series in my opinion. The climax of the film is right at the beginning, when Hardin insults a homeless man, which later turns out to be his girlfriend's dad. To cope with the end of his relationship with Tessa, he turns to alcohol and drugs, becoming a way cooler protagonist he could ever hope to be with his dumb face and stupid acting.
One of the greatest movie I had the pleasure to see, just for the free insult to Tessa's homeless father....
