Surprisingly good

Rating: Null/10 (10 February 2002)

I have just recently saw this film and was very surprised on how good of a movie that it actually was. Admittingly I have never read the book but I feel that the movie was well done. I think that Mandy Moore has proven that unlike her music career that acting might be her calling for she did surprisingly very well in her role as it seems to be opposite of her singer persona. Although when I first saw the length of the movie was close to two hours I thought that it was going to be long and drawn out but I was soon to be proven wrong. I believe that this was a well directed movie as the scenes just seemed to flow easily and quickly to another and it did not even seem like it had taken the two hours. I was one of those films that if you were to go to the restroom during it then you would definitaly miss something. All in all this was one of the best movies I have seen and I think that more people would enjoy it than they realize.
