This movie is based on book by Nicholas Sparks by the same name..
i have not read the book, so i dont know how well it is adapted to the book or which is better book or movie..
As far as the movie goes, its a cute and sweet love story which wil surely make u smile :)
The plot is not that uncommon or unpredictable...but the presentation is beautiful...the way the love story of the lead pair develops is lovely....i just loved it :)
well about the plot : as i said its not very uncommon...cool dude rebellious guy landon carter(shane west) falls is some trouble while playing a practical joke on a classmate....in order that he mends his ways the principle makes him do activities like mentoring students, taking part in play etc etc..things he would not have done ever on his own...but all these activities put him in company of jamie sullivan (many moore), plain jane, simple, sweet girl but with a head of her own and who doesnt care what others think of her...
as they spend time together, they develop good friendship and inpite of initial embarrasement landon has abt acknowledging his friendship with jamie, they become good friends after landon takes jamie's side after a practical joke played on her by his other cool friends...
the way their relationship develops is to be seen...i wont be writing about it and about the end on the blog...
well if u see this movie, u ll guess the end quite soon (at least i did!) but stick on....its worth it..
direction by jim bosgraaf is good...the flow of story is nice, u dont feel bored or find lack of pace...
the lead pair is good.....landon -jamie moments r very very cute....they ll surely make u smile....they have good chemistry, shane west makes a very likable rebellious guy and mandy moore is very sweeet
a nice way to spend an evening if watching a movie is what u wanna do....u ll be smiling at the end of the movie :) :)
