Great plot; bad storyline/ending

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2002)

The movie in whole was great. I haven't really read the book to see how the adapation was. The movie has a very weak beginning. The characters weren't as well established as they could have been. Mandy Moore's character really shines though. The plot was great, however it had a lot of cliches. A few unexpectant turns make this movie an emotional tugger. The solique at the end is a little over dramatic.
