This film is unfairly criticized by the critics, as it is truly phenomenal from start to finish, providing everything you could ask for in a movie.
Mandy Moore delivers a stunning and emotionally charged performance that will keep you engaged throughout the entire film. Her portrayal is both captivating and moving, showcasing the depth of her talent.
Personally, this movie ranks among my top 25 films of all time. While there may be some plot holes and issues that some viewers may not appreciate, the music is outstanding and the storyline itself is intriguing.
The cast, including both lead actors and supporting roles, deliver exceptional performances that help drive the narrative forward. Despite any flaws, I believe this movie is unfairly dismissed and deserves more recognition for its quality.
