if there has ever been a movie that made me a better man, this was it.

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2006)

I first went to an advanced screening of this movie with a large group of women and children. I had no idea what to expect but I can promise you I was not expecting much, as a 38 year old male the prospect of seeing a Mandy Moore film did not thrill me. Wow was I surprised! This is as good a portrayal of what selfless Love between 2 people is supposed to be as anything you will ever see.Mandy Moore was fantastic. Shane West was perhaps even better in as good a performance as I have seen. Perhaps this movie did not get the respect it deserved because of the youthful cast. this whole cast should be able to look back in years to come at this movie and know they were part of something very special
