Wow!!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2007)

When rating this film, I rate it 15 out of 10. It is fantastic. The acting is superb, the storyline is fantastic, the direction is amazing and just about everything is brilliant.
Even though when you think of Mandy Moore, you think bubblegum pop/Britney-knock-off, this film makes you look at her in a whole new light and respect her for the fact that she is a fantastic actress and with all the different songs she sings through out the film she shows off her amazing singing voice.
Add the wonderful Shane West opposite her and Adam Shankman behind the camera, and it makes an amazing piece of film.
The transformation of the characters throughout the film is always convincing and never makes you think "well hey, that just wouldn't happen."
I have seen the film at least 10 times and every time it makes me cry in three specific parts. See if you agree:
*******************SPOILER***********************
1) The moment Jamie tells Landon that she is dying. 2) The Moment Landon goes to see his father after he pays for the private home care for Jamie. 3) The scene where they get married and is followed by Landon's voice over.
****************Possible SPOILER*******************
Also I know they changed the end of the film compared to the book it is based around, but I don't think it would have made the ending as good as the rest of the film if it had ended with Landon giving the wedding rings back to Jamie's father. It would have created a "you bastard" scenario for the viewers. Any sympathy and feeling you had for Landon would have been totally destroyed.
********************End Of Spoilers******************
So in summary, this film is a must see for any kind of romantic evening, anyone who wants to watch amazing actors and an amazing story in one place and just about anyone who doesn't mind watching a teenage love story that can relate to anyone of any age.
