Mandy Moore can give up her day job.

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2002)

Mandy Moores debut film is a smart choice and displays the acting talents of the young singer in a good romantic movie. Mandy Moore holds her self in this movie with the style and grace of Audrey Hepburn. I also applaud the fact that she picked this type of movie to debut in, an intelligent role movie that requires acting skills instead of a no brainer like Cross Roads staring Ms. Spears. Mandy plays Jamie Sullivan a hermet like girl living in a small town that everyone wants to get out of, she keeps mainly to her self and her believes but is not shy when it comes to conversations or defending her self. She goes about her daily life until she mets up with Landon Carter (Shayne West) Forced to be around each other by circumstances beyond Landons control. After time spent together Landon begins to become influenced by Jamie and starts to realize what is important in life and what is not. Jamie also benefits from his influence and has a good time sharing there time together. This movie is so good and there are twists and turns here, that is why I don't want to ruin it. It seems like a fairly predictable movie but it is really not and that is why I liked it so much.
