don't waste your money

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 2002)

I HATED this movie!! Mandy Moore is one of the worst actresses I have seen in a long time. The book by Nicholas Sparks was so wonderful, this movie could have been amazing. Instead, I found myself wishing the movie would just end so I could leave. The script was TERRIBLE, and the talking about faith but never actually mentioning God so as not to evoke controversy really irritated me. I would never recommend this to anyone, and I am usually pretty generous with movie criticisms. Don't waste your hard-earned money on this cheeseball.
