Surely there are more crushes to be had, enemies to become lovers, and soulmates to be found-and they might actually be well-written, too. Give the woman some glittery gel pens and a notebook. She has such great potential, even in Moonshot. Fans of the To All the Boys trilogy may want to know who Lana Condors boyfriend is in real life. So, a plea to all rom-com casting directors: Put Lana Condor in your film! Hell, write an entire movie for her snarky charm. De La Torre popped the question on Christmas Eve, and the actress said she was caught 'off. But every rom-com legend has at least one flop: Larry Crowne? Serious Moonlight? All greats falter. To all the bag lovers whove never had enough pockets, Lana Condors new Vera Bradley Utility Backpack is here to hold your lipstick, that mystery. Lana Condor told Insider that she was eagerly waiting for her boyfriend Anthony De La Torre to propose. It is a movie so dreadfully bad (not even “so bad it’s good,” a category many of Centineo’s rom-coms fall into) that it is near impossible to look past all of the unfunny jokes, trite storylines, and hollowed-out characters and see Condor’s delightful rom-com wit shining away. The horrifying thing now is to think about what effect this movie might have on Condor’s career. Before the film’s release, Condor opened up about being excited to play a character that’s “actually my age” since “the past three, four years I’ve been playing much younger characters.” This is not the case for Condor and her Moonshot. Perhaps the one thing Moonshot does right (other than cast Condor) is it actually ages its leads properly.Ĭentineo-as well as a flurry of other baby-faced adult stars like Jacob Elordi, Asa Butterfield, Nicola Coughlan, and even Cole Sprouse in Riverdale-has been locked into teenage roles even though he’s now 25, and probably will be for the next four decades. Still, with Condor’s charisma and endearing dorkiness, sometimes, it’s just fun to be along for the ride, even if the destination is doomed. Granted, it’s a trope her To All the Boys character falls victim to, and it’s one she can play believably (gel pens hit loose leaf once more to map out her “dream life”). Sophie’s main drive is her boyfriend and the life he will provide for her. In one particular scene, Kitty, who is played by Anna Cathcart, is telling a friend about her sister's relationship that serves as the plot from the original movies. It’s a hard task, especially since Moonshot completely hollows out the female lead. Condor carries the “rom” side of the entire movie, juggling her half of the “com” along with it. Give this woman an Oscar for pretending to be in love with Walt, a brooding wannabe Mars cadet who, let’s face it, should’ve stayed in Riverdale. Nevertheless, she’s back and she’s brilliant. Moonshot is her first foray back into rom-coms, a massive oversight by Netflix (and the rest of Hollywood, really) after she proved her worth in mere minutes back in 2018 with the debut of the first To All the Boys. Lana Condor, on the other hand, starred in cult hit Alita: Battle Angel-and that’s about it.
