Great romance that makes you want to be a better person.

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2002)

I just finished listening to the commentary by Skankman, Moore, and West, and I was trying to reach them with this message to address a few comments that they made. Hopefully they will read this. First of all, I think many people knew about why Landon was doing the things for Jamie (because they were on her list). Secondly, I am a mother of 3 and was so happy to watch a movie that didn't have cussing and sex in it, but looked at the issues realistically. Not ALL high school students cuss and have sex. It is an encouragement to all to see Mandy's character showing how people can be good. Sure kids are tempted and have desires, but not ALL give in. I think we need more movies like this one to set an example of how kids should behave and treat others. This movie dealt with many deeper issues than the love story, but I loved that part too. I cry every time I see it, and it truly is an encouragement to my children and me. By the way, I am a Christian and was not offended by any of the scenes. They were realistic and they showed how to deal with behaviors that some view as inappropriate. It is an encouragement for all to be better people and make a difference in their lives.
