Very Surprisingly Good.

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2002)

I was very shocked by how much I enjoyed this film. After watching the previews I anticipated a very "Lovey Dovey Teen Movie," I couldn't have been more wrong. I was very surprised by how well Mandy Moore portrayed the character. She did an excellent job, I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of her in films in the future. Shane West was also phenomenal. He can play both good and bad guy, again I think West will breakout with an excellent movie career. The story line was very well written. I highly recommend this film, even for those who oppose watching teen flicks will enjoy this heart warming film. The story is how love can concur all, and how one person can change another persons whole life. You leave the theater with of sense of happiness, it helps you appreciate the beautiful things in the world (Believe it or not).
