I liked this movie

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2002)

I'm so glad I found this site. I've read many of the thoughtful comments and decided to write some of my own. I'm not a teenager but I really liked the film and the naturalness of the acting. It had sappy moments but all love stories do. My only real criticism with the movie is that I wish that it hadn't rushed through Landon's growing feelings for Jamie. The emphasis in the book is how Landon evolves as a person and falls in love with Jamie. The book beautifully illustrates this and by the time he tells her that he loves her [in the book] you really believe it.
Most of the reviews were mean spirited and unfair. This movie is not preachy at all, you dont't have to be religious to appreciate the themes of love, respect and forgiveness.
