Must Go!
The Critics are wrong.

by Prestly

I read the reviews beforehand and they were pretty harsh. Watching the movie by myself, I found as a teenager with a romantic side, this movie was aboslutley amazing. It's pretty true to high school...

I recommend it. Highmore is sensitive enough to read his face. Good music score - not rap but you can give it a try.. Sometimes kids need to be pushed - and college is important. Movie was made...

I thought the movie was great! The ending left you hanging a litte, but it works. The characters were interesting and it was very entertaining to watch....
