This was such a bad movie. And I'm not saying it just for the sake of hating on it, so here are a few reasons why I thought it was terrible:
[spoiler]
- First of all, the actor who plays Hardin was just... I don't know. I can't even find words to describe it. I thought his acting was okay in the first movie, but this second movie he seemed to get worse. I'm still not over him yelling "Fucking Trevor?!" to a half naked Dylan Sprouse.
- The storyline is a mess. Actually, there's no storyline at all. She starts her internship, somehow gets back with a guy who made a BET with his friends to get her and suddenly she's all about him to the point we rarely see proof of her being an intern anymore.
- They fight for the stupidest stuff. Like actually, in a functioning relationship, you talk to each other and try to get through your misunderstandings before storming off and breaking stuff.
- Her agreeing to "fake it" for his mom? When she was supposedly so pissed off at what he had done to her?
- The storyline of her and her mom at the beginning. That was all there was to it? She just knew her mom had hidden the fact that her father was looking for her and just completely forgot about it?
- "We can sleep in the same bed, we're not neanderthals". Cue you know what.
- Hardin's half brother just stepping into everyone's business all the time and out of nowhere? Why?
- This movie has every single bad cliché to the point it's excruciatingly predictable. She's an English major, working for a publishing firm, who loves the "bad boy with tattoos", gets back together with him even though he's a mess, but she's got mommy issues and he's got daddy issues, cue the rather decent looking coworker who makes him question her, the friend from the past who makes her question him, the endless text messages and missed calls, the car accident while looking for him, the New Year's party with a cat fight, etc.

Lastly, I'll speak about the only thing I actually enjoyed in this movie: the boss and Candice King's characters actually being a thing and ending up together. Now that was cute, especially envolving the kid. 2 points for that and the effort of the main actress.
