Unexpected Pleasure

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2004)

I didn't expect anything out of this movie, and that was perhaps why I think it was simply great. The wonderful soundtrack helped to gel a decently well thought of plot that carried so much nostalgia with it. The best was perhaps the beginning yearbook picture scene, the director made a great attempt at capturing the audience's memories of the past. I actually thought the chemistry between the two leads were wonderful compared to other teen movies, it reminded me of the high school romances, and made me yearn for what they had. The ending was the only thing that was not up to par, because it is simply too perfect. Of course that's what everyone wants to see but I thought the scene with him in the Z4 and seeing Elisha was too too too perfect. Maybe I'm jealous, but this was a great movie
