It is touching

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 2002)

Wow. I was blown away by this movie. Mandy Moore and Shane West did a spectacular job. You know, Mandy Moore doesn't get too much hype as a singer, but after you see this movie, you'll totally want MOORE! She did such a wonderful job in this movie that I'm still affected by the movie, and it's been a week! Shane West and Mandy work really well together, and it's hard to believe that they're not really together in real life!!!! So the movie is predictable. And so the movie is a chick flick. And so the movie isn't original. But you know what? When you can take something, a plot that has already been worked, and STILL make it work, that's really something! Some parts of the movie were unrealistic, like the part West tells Mandy that he loves her. It was too quick. But overall, the movie was really well put together. Mandy and Shane are the perfect people for the roles. I was deeply touched by their love. It makes you believe that true love, faith, and all the good stuff in life does exist even if it may not exist here and now! I think everyone left the theatre crying. Even the guys. That should tell you something. I totally admire Mandy Moore now. She is likeable without having to show off, without having too be too "Hollywood." If anyone says that this movie sucks, or says that those who like the movie are pathetic,then those are the type of people who ALWAYS have to find something bad in everything because this movie was really awesome, to my surprise. Hope to see more of West and Moore together!
