“If I Love A Boy” is a set of 5 short movies that don’t have any common thread to them that stars the same actors as Thank God It’s Friday. TGIF is a full on multi-part series that builds on several storylines that run through the series. Additionally If I Love a Boy are more short dramas where as TGIF is a rom-com. Unfortunately, If Love A Boy is not a prequel to TGIF, nor do the actors have the same roles between the series and the short movies. This is unfortunate because the If I Love A Boy short stories seem to be more teasers with open endings that seem to suggest a larger series/movie in the future. How true that is, is purely speculation. Watch each for the same actors.
