A movie that makes you smile, cry and feel better...

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2005)

OK, so first let me tell, that I've read the book before I saw the film. And actually I read the book for five or more times. So I Loved it, and when I realized that blondie Mandie Moore was about to star in it, I decided, not to watch it. Than I was at home, watching TV on HBO, and they started a movie, and that was it... And I watched, and enjoyed it (except from the first five or six minutes, that was I think very badly done), and I cried on it, like a baby, although I have never cried while reading the book(only for the first time). So actually I really think, Mandy Moore was great in this movie, she was actually perfect in it. She made me laugh, made me cry and made me fall in love with her (altough I am a girl). She was magical. Shane West for Landon, I think that is also a great choice. He has this incredible talent, playing the-not-so-lovely-guys, and he made this incredible soul-metamorphosis Landon goes through not just believable, but understandable. Peter Coyote and Darryl Hannah was also good, big thumbs up for them... I really think this movie is good, and wish all the Nicholas Spark-adaptations were this good, which are they not, sadly...
