“To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,” only released on Netflix for less than two weeks, has already secured its place in the unwritten romantic-comedy hall of fame. Based on a novel series by Jenny Han, the story centers around Lara Jean Covey, an introverted girl and her fake (but not fake) relationship with cocky but vulnerable jock Peter Kavinsky.

Lara Jean is a high school junior with close bonds with her family and a few friends. Whenever she is overwhelmed with feelings about a crush, she writes him a love letter— never with the intention of sending it. When they are accidentally sent out, Lara Jean has to deal with the consequences of her secret love letters.

We only meet three of the five boys: Lucas, a gay character who helps Lara Jean along the way; Josh, the boy-next-door and Lara Jean’s longtime crush (but also her sister’s ex-boyfriend); and Peter, a lacrosse player whom Lara Jean shared a kiss with in the seventh grade.

To prevent her sister from discovering her crush on Josh, Lara Jean and Peter decide to fabricate a relationship to fool their friends and family. So when you boil it down, it’s the oldest trick in the book: the fake dating story. Countless other movie and books have followed this trend, from “She’s All That” to “Can’t Buy Me Love.”

Even though it may seem derivative on the surface, the teen movie stands out with its diverse cast and surprisingly accurate portrayal of high school. The film has received praise for representation of Lara Jean and her two sisters, all played by Asian actresses, as well as the depiction of LGBT characters.

With references to “Sixteen Candles” and John Hughes, this film carves itself the same place in romantic-comedy history for this generation. Director Susan Johnson has taken a tired framework of a 1980s teen movie and refurbished it to perfectly fit into a 21st century world.

Feasibly this year’s standout Netflix Original, “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” has already developed its own cult following, based on the social media storm that followed the release. Lana Condor and Noah Centineo, who play Lara Jean and Peter respectively, have turned into overnight sensations, collectively gaining almost ten million Instagram followers in a matter of days.

While not going to win any Oscars this year, “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” is an endearing movie that will have all your friends smiling and wishing the best for Lara Jean. You’ll fall asleep with a smile on your face and then you’ll wake up and watch it again.
