    Surprisingly sweet and smart... LaBeouf does an excellent job, and the talented Beeney is one to watch.

    LaBeouf somehow manages to turn Kelly's self-centered behavior and irritating character quirks into a sympathetic lead, and the well-written script by newcomer Erica Beeney brings a lot of humor to some very touching moments.

This was a pretty forgettable movie and it's a shame that an original plot like this had to turn into a TV quality like movie.… Expand
