An amazing journey of faith, love & growing up.

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2002)

I absolutely loved this movie. It has moved to my list of all-time favorites. Landon does an incredible job coming across as the typical guy jerk, but he realizes there's so much more out there as he learns to love completely and give of himself. As a result of Jamie's love and faith, he grows into a man, instead of just a bigger version of a little boy, which is the direction he was headed. Jamie also is an amazing role. She stands by her faith and beliefs, despite the pain and sometimes ridicule it causes her from her peers. She portrays a Christian teenage girl, without coming across "preach-y" or "holier-than-thou" or totally out of touch with the world. Which is the way it really is. Also, who says she is the ugly duckling turned beautiful. In my opinion she was beautiful right from the start. Glamour isn't synonymous with beauty.
