Still a Good Movie, Disappointing DVD.

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2002)

Well, I just saw AWTR again, and I have to say that I still enjoyed it.
You will either buy into the love story or not. Mandy Moore is good, but Shane West really gives the better performance. In all fairness, the movie does have some flaws. There were a lot of editing mistakes that should have been corrected. Jamie and Landon fall in love too quickly. I would have liked more scenes between them before Landon declared his love for Jamie. And finally,the movie really deviates from the book. They should have used more scenes from the book, which is superior to the movie. THE DVD IS REALLY AWFUL!!! There are no deleted scenes. I don't understand how a movie that was fairly successful could not produce a DVD with better special features. I highly recommend the movie, but rent or borrow the DVD.
