ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
jejcruzn The move now feels like from a time that has gone by. I found the movie to be well casted. I thought that Klein was perfect as the rich WASPY preppy.
SnoopyStyle Kelley Morse (Chris Klein) is an entitled rich private school brat. His absentee father gifts him a new Mercedes. The headmaster puts it under lock but Kelley takes it out for a ride. He and his friends stop at a local diner. He hits on waitress Samantha Cavanaugh (Leelee Sobieski) and gets into a road race with her boyfriend Jasper Arnold (Josh Hartnett). The diner owned by Samantha's parents Jo (Annette O'Toole) and Sheriff Earl Cavanaugh (Bruce Greenwood) get destroyed and the boys get an unusual punishment. They have to help rebuild the diner. Since the school is closed, Kelley joins to live with the Arnolds (Michael Rooker, Annie Corley).It's a teen romance with a terminal illness. There isn't anything wrong with the genre but there isn't anything new. The movie gets stuck into its inevitable path. It may be better for Klein and Hartnett to switch roles. They seem to be similar types of actors but Hartnett can muster up a little more damage and heart. There isn't enough to choose one over the other and these movies do require the audience to do just that. They have to sell dumping Jasper before they sell buying Kelley. I have no problem with a formula teen romance but it has to be constructed almost perfectly or else it would be panned for any number of cliché critiques.
Hannalee Hannalee I want to be generous, so--I'll give it a 4. The makers spliced two films: in the first, two stupid young boys do stupid things, then get directed by a wise judge onto a life road where they grow up and turn into men (this plot element comes unnoticeably to fruition, if at all); the second movie hacked in half and appended to this one is Love Story. My mother wanted to watch this movie and I wanted to keep her company, but it was getting unbearable, even with the pretty scenery, so I decided to look up the actors because she was curious. When I found out the young heroine was terminally ill with cancer, I decided that might be just interesting enough to enable me to stick it out.
hms09 OK..you people need to settle down! This movie is not that bad. I saw it for the first time last night and fell in love with it! I do have to admit that I have never been a fan of LeeLee Sobieski but she grew on me in this movie. I do think Josh Hartnett is good looking, but c'mon..Chris Klein is the most gorgeous man I think I have ever seen!!! He made that movie better for me. C'mon girls..when he has no shirt on and goes to get water I know your mouth dropped. Yes, I know in the beginning he is a jerk, but in the end he realizes how he acted and learns to be a great guy. If he wouldn't have come at the end..then I would have been mad. I do think a couple of lines did not need to be said but all in all it was a great movie! I definitely recommend it!
