Actually not all that bad..

Rating: Null/10 (10 February 2002)

First off- there are things that I liked about this movie, and there are things that I didn't. First the things I did like: -Mandy Moore's first starring role in a main movie was a bit of a stretch (At least she wasn't playing herself; instead her character worked for me, as the shy girl- Compared to Britney Spears' upcoming movie, her part seemed a lot more different than her regular persona) -The chemistry between Landon and Jamie seemed to work and they seemed right for each other. -Landon's friends all seemed stuck up and jerks except for the black guy, he seemed like he really cared and was a nice guy and provided some funny lines. -Jamie's father- Peter Coyote seemed perfect for his role as the father of Jamie. - A very smooth move made by Landon- I won't reveal what it is but heres a hint: It involves the "state line".
Okay, now some stuff that I didn't like about the movie-
-The tension between Landon and his father- it could have been out of the movie and wouldn't have been missed. - There were some sappy moments, but not as many as there could have been - The fact that I knew the ending before the movie began. (My friend told me)
Anyways- this was a pretty good movie, not the best but if there is nothing better to see, its worth it. It really could have been a made for tv movie, but that doesn't mean its a bad thing.
Thanks
