Diego Pineda has been a devout storyteller his whole life. He has self-published a fantasy novel and a book of short stories, and is actively working on publishing his second novel.
Ever since ancient civilizations started telling stories, romance was a genre that immediately sprung up and proved to be there to stay. This continued on until the arrival of movies, where grand romantic tales of love, heartbreak, and deep emotion have been among the most popular kinds of films since cinema became a storytelling art form.
Those who like saccharine romances with tons and tons of melodrama shouldn't have difficulty enjoying The Notebook—at least on paper. But the fact that the movie is so manipulative and that the romance at the core of the narrative is so disgustingly toxic certainly doesn't help things.
Tall Girl at least offered a ludicrous enough premise to be funny, but by the time Tall Girl 2 rolls in, the premise has grown stale. Now, the film feels so packed with predictable clichés that it's not even fun as background noise. It truly feels like Tall Girl 2's screenplay is less of an actual script and more of a collage made with cutouts from other bad teen rom-coms of the 2000s and 2010s.

When a studio's movie is derided as one of the worst-ever examples of its genre, said studio should probably take the hint and not greenlight any sequels—let alone two. But, of course, the streaming giant isn't too keen on learning from their mistakes.
