Netflix has churned out yet another teen romance. Hello Goodbye, and  Everything in Between will land immediately with the hopeless romantics. The movie nails the teen aesthetics and is a wholesome watch perfect for a sleepover. 

Micahel Lewen’s debut movie follows Clare who wants a romantic relationship on her own terms. She has witnessed the nasty divorce of her parents who were high school sweethearts and the aftermath of it. Dragged from state to state due to her mother’s love affairs, Clare only wants to get into a good college and focus on her career. But her plans are obviously derailed once she meets the charming Aiden at a Halloween house party. The two make an instant connection. Clare still remains practical and they enter a pact – they’ll date for 10 months and then break up before college. 

So should you give this a watch or not? Here are all the reasons you should hit play. 

A wholesome teen romance 

Based on Jennifer E. Smith’s novel of the same name, Hello Goodbye and Everything in Between, although predictable, is a light breezy watch. There are no high stakes, no real problems, just two teenagers falling in love and finding their identities. The 84-minute long film has few rom-com moments but is mostly grounded in reality.  

The protagonists are modern minded 

Younger viewers, especially teenagers on the brink of adulthood but still not willing to let off their adolescence yearnings, will relate to the leads. The director has perfectly captured young love and the leads Jordan Fisher and Taila Ryder are extremely charming. They build sweet believable chemistry.

Jordan Fisher is beyond charming 

Jordan Fisher plays the self-assured Aiden. He also lent his voice to a re-arranged version of The Beatles’ Twist and Shout, as well as the original song Everything I Ever Wanted. If you are smitten by him in All The Boys: P:S I Love You, this is a must-watch. 

LGBT representation in Hello Goodbye and Everything in Between

Clare’s best friend Stella’s arc is also handled really well. Stella (who is a lesbian) is worried that her love will remain unrequited.
