Mandy Moore is good, HOWEVER

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2002)

I thought Mandy Moore did a wonderful job in her first leading role, but this movie was just a mess. First of all the editing was so poorly done. I counted at least 5 scenes that should have been left on the editing room floor..they seemed to be there is just a filler and it really frustrated me. I would have enjoyed seeing more interaction between the two lead character. There were too many scenes with the characters that we care or know nothing about. And not to be shallow but I would have liked to have seen a little bedroom action. They showed the dorky friend simulate a raunchy sex act...why couldn't we have seen a little more intiment moments. This movie could have been better if it were not thrown together ...maybe to beat Britney Spears movie to the box office??
