Wonderful!

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2002)

I really loved this movie. I had read the book before watching it, so I had some sense of what was going to happen, but I was not expecting the acting to be as good as it was. I was also worried that the book wouldn't be followed accurately enough. But all my worries were pushed aside as I began watching. Mandy Moore does an amazing job portraying Jamie, the preacher's kid, and Shane West was great as Landon, the rebel as well. This movie deals with realistic teen problems without having to cram in a ton of sex and vulgarity. I recommend it to anyone who wants to see it, and don't forget to take some kleenex, you'll need it.
