Not at all what I expected.

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2003)

I wasn't intending to view this movie. I assumed it was just another vehicle for an up and coming pop diva. In fact when I tuned in to it, on the Movie Network, the opening credits had just past. I didn't realize what I was watching until I was hooked.
Mandy Moore gave a fantastic performance for her first lead. I was immediately captivated and awed by her presence. The story is a simple formula of unwanted love, opposites attracting, but as usual finds a way to blossom. I am glad I stumbled across this movie. It inspired me to purchased the sound track and I still consider it a favorite. I am looking forward to future endeavors by Miss Moore.
