![]() ![]() ![]() This film ends at an odd moment that leaves you looking over your shoulder for the next film with the "wait is that it?". But it seems that this revelation is a little too late as Tessa decides she needs time apart and goes to New York with Landon. Hardin finally realizes that he should be there for Tessa when she needs him. ![]() ![]() Tessa makes one attempt to reach him, but then decides she has to look out for herself and heads back home to America where she makes a devastating personal discovery (I would actually say two discoveries). This of course sets Hardin off on his usual path of destruction. In this installment we pick up right where the third film ended with Hardin discovering that his mom was unfaithful to his father and in fact he has a different biological father. These are some signs of moving towards a healthier relationship. I am a big fan of the books (guilty pleasure) and recognize that this is not the healthiest of relationships, but in this film we see a subtle shift to Hardin in which he does some healing independent of Tessa and Tessa does a little growing up independent of Hardin. This is the fourth film and I was happy to see that they kept as many cast members as they had considered some of the major changes between films one, two and three. This is part one of a two part handling of After Ever Happy which is the conclusion of Tessa and Hardin's story. ![]()
