Oh my gosh, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2004)

Whoa... it was not half as bad as I thought it would be. Knowing it was slammed by critics I thought I was in for a really sappy cliched movie. And it was sometimes, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Mandy Moore was not annoying in her first role as Jaime Sullivan, neither was Shane West. So despite some very cliched teen moments, this movie is worth a look, if only once. Plus, I watched the movie first so that affects this. But for those who are like me and watched the film first, READ THE BOOK afterwards. Movie was ok, but book was GREAT.
Movie: 7/10 Book: 10/10
