This movie may not be 100% realistic, but it doesn't need to be. the fundamental aspects in this movie ring true in real life. One of my favorite movies.

I think that this movie is one of my favorite movies of all time. Just the way the characters played it out. They were absolutley perfect. I cry at the end almost every time when I watch it. Especially at the wedding at the end. It was a very sweet movie. I suggest this movie to everyone.

I absolutely loved this movie.. if u think this movie is highly unlikely then u need to spend a few years in my hometown in northern Illinois! Every teenage girl there is pregnant in a similar situation.. yes some of the heroic actions made by Forny are far fetched... but it follows the reality of what a young girl in a SMALL town goes though.. The last time i visited my hometown 5 of my once close friends were pregnant or already had kids. I've heard many say the tornado was unlikely.. not if i remember where the movie took place at.. even in northern Illinois having such a tornado isn't impossible. This movie lifted my heart and proved that a young woman CAN do it on her own!

Conventional plot but the great Natalie Portman never sneers at the inferior material for a second and gives her best. It's nice to see a character being able to grow, learn, develop. Portman's character isn't equipped only with body and heart but with a mind. Good, and the beautiful Naomi Judd makes it even better, but the two guys here are pretty turdy and undeserving of Portman's affections.

I truly loved this movie! being a girl i can realate to this movie. i feel like this is more of a chic flick and maybe thats why the critics didnt like it that much because it wasnt just a movie that anyone would like. but i really enjoyed it and watched it alot and everytime cried. it was very touching :)
Maddie gave it a 9:
I thought this movie was very good at character building. Novalee changed from a foolish young girl to a responsible mother. Even her friend Lexie makes some improvement. All in all I loved this movie so much that the morning after i saw it i got up and watched it again. A wonderful movie!
