I caught half of this movie on cable one night and it stuck with me, so I had to eventually buy it. I loved the new twist on the old teen romantic comedy theme "best friend chases hot popular girl but realizes the one he really wants was right under his nose all along", as seen in good movies I like and own (Some Kind Of Wonderful, Secret Admirer, Trojan War, Whatever It Takes). I'm trying to write reviews of some over looked Gems and this movie falls into that categorie. So I bought this one on Amazon a while ago, I have to start by saying the 3 lead characters were cast perfectly Gregory Smith (teen smitten with hot girl), Ashley Johnson (good friend) I remember her as the daughter in What Women Want, Jordana Brewster (hot girl), what I really like about this movie is that the teens were written as deeper, thoughtful, smart kids with some whit in the dialogue between them (kind of like a Whit Stillman Movie), the 70's look and beautiful Oregon locations of the movie added to the experience, if your looking for a smarter Teen Romantic Comedy on the level of John Hughes, Some Kind Of Wonderful, you should love this movie............

Not one of my favorite movies. I mostly bought it because of Gregory Smith, but sad to say he was better in the TV show Everwood in my opinion. The movie has a terrible ending in my opinion, but was good enough to watch. I will still keep it, but not sure how much I will watch it.

I feel that the film, particularly in the violent swimming pool scene carries a powerful, effective anti-bullying message. I whole heartedly remommend it for teen audiences.

Maybe this plodded along a bit, maybe it's been done before. But, by the movie's end, and everything is pieced together, it was a gem. I especially liked the three main leads Smith, Johnson and Brewster, although, I would have liked to have seen the relationship between Smith and Brewster wrapped up a little bit more tidy.I realize the movie title was pretty much taken verbatim from the book, but, it may have distracted from this movie getting better circulation and response from the general public. It certainly has an indie feel to it, but, that's what makes many indies little gems.I really indentified with the characters(not the dad) and I'm a 59 year old male!! I rented this, but, I will buy this movie for my permanent collection.

Great coming of age movie with some clever shots and complex characters. You end up pitying the villain at one point. Never thought of Ms Brewster as an actress of depth and feeling, but this movie proves me wrong. Solid film

I bought the Ural sidecar rig that was used in the movie and purchased the dvd to go with the poster and to see the Ural on the small screen.

The movie wasn't what I expected, but it wasn't bad either. I think it was a good cheap movie but I would have to say if you want a good quality one then don't get this.

It was alright. A guy chasing a girl he likes very much. What a tease she was.

Pleasant high school movie. Strictly for Jordana Brewster fans ( and who isn't ). Moves along at a steady pacebut not so Fast and Furious !!
