A trully memorable Jamie!

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2002)

I went to see this movie with the expectation of seeing just another silly "teen" flick. To my amazement the movie was very well acted, extremely emotional, and truly enveloping. The character of Jamie played by Mandy Moore was what impressed me the most. Mandy Moore is a true actress! The character of Jamie was not just another sweet girl done wrong. Jamie was so alive in Mandy emotionally, that in certain parts of the movie I noticed emotions under the surface of Jamie that were almost subliminal, I never thought that someone could show indifference at the surface and hurt underneath the way Jamie does in some scenes. I think this movie should be right up there with Love Story!
