    Ostensibly a story about first love in college, and I never believed a frame of it.

    Floating this material slightly above the assembly-line level is the energetic cast and the efforts of writer-director Kris Isacsson.

    Pretty cute love story. Nothing wrong with watching a slightly dull movie at times. The love scenes are really sweet!

    I saw a lot of teen movies in high school, and this was on the very top of the heap of craptasticness. The only thing from keeping me leaving such a boring/unoriginal/flat movie was the fact I paid $6 bucks. If I could PLEASE get those 2 hours of my life back, I'd feel like I lived just a little bit more. Whatever happened to great romantic comedys driven by excellent dialogue, a la "When Harry Met Sally?" Expand
