We all loved it!

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2002)

Our teenage girls, our younger children and my husband and I all thought it was a great movie! It was especially refreshing to see a movie where someone is inspired to be better by someone's example, rather than dragged into a bunch of crap like in many teen movies.
We were especially impressed with the acting. Mandy Moore did a wonderful job, and Shane West was fabulous.
After renting it twice, we finally went out and bought the DVD because our kids kept begging us for it. I much rather have them watch something really good like this instead of movies like the mostly harmless but utterly silly drivel like Legally Blonde, etc.
