This movie was everything I expected and more...
I went to this movie expecting a sappy love story, but I came out of it having remembered a powerful lesson.
I saw this movie yesterday and it is still playing over in my mind, it has made me think in a big way.
The story of Jamie and Landon is not a new story, what starts out as friendship turns to something more, and then of course there is the major drama which I will not divulge. I love how Landon is a better person for having known Jamie and in the end it affects everyone around them.

Another thing I was very impressed with was the soundtrack, I dont usually pay attention to such things but in this case I did, probably because the music throughout the movie is bands I already listen to. I also went out and bought the CD just to hear the wonderful mixture.
I hope this movie does well, its rare to find a movie that sticks with you and makes you think for days after. Or at least not thinking theres 2 hrs I wish I could get back.
I felt sorry for the people I saw it with though that did not *get* the movie. They said it was just a lame rip off of another movie that came out a few years ago, and though I did not see that particular movie I think they were wrong I and I feel bad that they couldnt get past the fact that Mandy Moore was in a movie.
