Out of the demographic of the movie, grading on a curve

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2015)

I am completely out the demographic of this movie but I ended up watching this.
This is obviously a tearjerker meant for primarily teenage girls, so adjust accordingly.
But I will say this movie has a really good heart and solid message. It's refreshing to see a female teen character who attracts a guy through her smarts and wits. It's also refreshing seeing a male character who isn't all horned up and actually believes in courtship and respect.
A special shout out to Shailene_Woodley, who has an amazing and convincing performance.
If you are parent of teenagers, I this would be a mostly positive movie for kids to watch. There is just old-fashion courting that you never see in teen sex comedies. It almost has a religious feel and overtones but avoids that path. This will certainly be a 'classic' movie in a young adult genre.
