The movie was OK. Some cringe dialogue and I could definitely see the Harry influence with the lead guy having sticker book tattoos and a preference for older women. Good chemistry between Nicholas and Anne tho.

Definitely a Harry fic…and while that is somewhat cringe, I think I’m going to go see the film. At least this looks like it could be a little of fun, not like those awful After movies.

omg the after movies haunt me. the first one was kind of cute/fun but then there were like 10 more of them??? WHAT WAS THE REASON.GIF

As she researched more about One Direction, she combined her findings
with a few other real men, including Prince Harry, Eddie Redmayne, some
of her exes, and her husband to make up the fictional character of
Hayes.

one of these things is not like the others.

with how one dimensional the character is, she couldnt have possibly have based them on that many people lol....
