Excellent but underrated film

Captivating movie !

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

(Potential spoiler in reference to similar movies)As many others have pointed out, the movie is quite simple and linear. Yet, in this case, it is a feat rather than a failure. Due to this, the attention of the viewer is never redirected towards insignificant events or characters - everything: every scene, gesture, word and phrase matter. None of them are fillers, which are nowadays so widely used in movies, simply to capitalize on screen time. No. This movie is out to simply tell you this story - nothing else. Take of it what you will, but I guarantee that you will be feeling some sort of strong emotion - whether it be happiness, disappointment, disillusionment, sadness...Yet that is what the movie is really about. Feelings, emotions, thoughts, deliberations... both conscious and subconscious. Seeing the world from a different perspective. Which is another thing worth mentioning. The second time you watch this movie, you will no longer be thinking what you did on the first go. Keith will no longer be the 'edgy and obnoxious kid, whom the screenwriters purposefully over-dramatized to appeal to the younger audience.' Believe me. "Yay, another 10 Things I Hate about you/fault in the stars/now is good" were essentially my first thoughts. (Great movies (minus TFIOS)), but can't really compare oranges and potatoes.) Very well executed and well acted, as well as fun to watch. Nothing to complain about besides the questionable character interactions/the occasional less-than- necessary scene. Definitely one of my favorite 'romances' (if you can call it that, as rom is not the primary focus here); right up there with Jeux d'Enfants. So just do yourself a favour and watch it, preferably with an open mind (as I'm sure this style and type of film doesn't appeal to everybody).

I stumbled upon this movie one afternoon while sick. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did, the reason being I am 40 yrs old and this seemed to be more of a teen movie. After watching it I think my age actually plays a big part in why I enjoyed it so much because the movie went deeper than the normal teen drama. It dealt with real life issues. I would recommend this movie if you haven't already watched it. It is entertaining and at the same time it stands as a reminder of what is really important in life. The reason I felt compelled to even comment or write this is because the actor that played Keith was absolutely amazing. I've heard Jesse McCartney's name before but I didn't know anything about him or what he is capable of doing in a role. He was great and I look forward to watching him in future roles.

Boy likes 'out of league' girl movies have been made now and then. But this one is different. Boy likes 'out of league girl', girl has her perfect life in front of her, then boy stalks into her life and from then on her life is not the same. What adds charm to the movie is the sophisticate character of Keith (played brilliantly by Jesse McCartney), the male lead. He has charm, has street smart style,artistic approach and is passionate about his truck. On top of that, he is deep mysterious. On the other hand Miss Anderson (played by Elisabeth Haronis), the female lead is the flavor of the movie. She who seems to have a sorted out life but is largely in a mess and Keith is to be blamed for it. The story is well-written-presented with beautiful scenes and a nice ending. However, the role of supporting characters could have been more.On the whole, this is a must watch teenage love film which you won't forget for some time. 7/10 stars.

overall I liked this movie a lot, Jesse's condition really surprised me and this title reminded me of "a walk to remember" but not as tacky. however, what bothered me most about this film is the first half of it, which made me want to stop watching for several times. most of the dialogues between the two leads didn't make sense to me until the end and In comparison to Jesse who is spectacular in this film, Elizabeth wasn't such a good actor at the time this film was shot. almost every scene with her I kept saying to myself "are you kidding me?", a lot of her reactions were way over acted and she lacked character. also, now that I see the soundtrack list I'm quite surprised, because during the film I heard only one melody, repeating itself between dialogues and it wasn't a good one either.
