Terrific - But Bring Tissue!

Rating: Null/10 (30 January 2002)

This movie was absolutely WONDERFUL - but I would definitely recommend having some Kleenex with you! Me and my friends not only cried, but gave off waterworks! Shane West is perfect for the role of Landon Carter - just as I pictured him in the book - and Mandy Moore did a surprisingly good job, though she wasn't what I pictured for the role. The only things that bugged me were: a.) The movie is set in modern times and the book is in the 1950's. b.) Jamie was a bit more outspoken in the movie (I'm referring to closing the door in Landon's face as well as talking back to him). Other than those flaws (only two is really good), the movie was great. *Note to the men=Unless you're on a date (great date movie, plenty of room for cuddling), I wouldn't recommend it at all - they just complain it's a "sappy romance" but the previews make it kind of obvious that it's a romance. *Note to the women=GO SEE IT! You'll regret if yuo don't. If you have time, the book is really good too.
