Wow! The critics really missed on this one!

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2002)

I read the book and loved it. Had my two teenage daughters read it, they said it was OK but they did read it without stopping?
At first I was a little disappointed that the movie was different then the book, but after a while it caught on. Had my daughters and wife watch it and they loved it.
This was a movie about love and faith. The movie did a good job of showing the trails a young person of faith may go through in school and showed her as the hero.
I think most of the critics have problems with subject matter like this and thats why they beat it up so bad. It really is a movie that is worth watching.
