Wonderful movie!

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2014)

I love this movie, have watched it a zillion times and will probably watch it a zillion more times! However, I must admit that the movie could have done better in terms of how Landon first develops feelings for Jamie. Although Landon asks Jamie to help him run lines for the spring play, the movie does not show any actual scenes of the two of them TOGETHER at Jamie's house running lines for the play.
The only scenes with Landon running lines for the play are of him ALONE, in his bedroom, studying the script, underlining dialog, writing notes, etc.
So, it falls flat for me when Landon tells Jamie that he misses "spending time" with her because the movie doesn't show him actually running lines with her; it only shows him and Jamie in dress rehearsals for the play with the director and other members of the cast.
I think the movie should have included several scenes with Landon and Jamie running lines together at her house because this would have provided better build-up to Landon telling her that he missed "spending time" with her.
