A beautiful and moving film.

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2004)

I was a little skeptical about seeing this film, as the book was absolutely amazing, and I didn't want anything to spoil the illusion of it that was in my mind. Against my better judgment, however, I did go to see the film, and I didn't regret it for a second. It did the book the justice that I hoped it would.
I have always thought that Mandy Moore was a brilliant actress, and this movie has only confirmed this for me. The casting for this movie was brilliant, as Shane West was suited for the part of Landon, and there was great chemistry between himself and Mandy.
The scene where Jamie tells Landon what is wrong was so touching, it made me cry. It takes a lot for a movie to make me cry, but this scene was so moving.
The only criticism I have about this movie was that it was over too soon.
