I wasn't expecting too much of this movie. I thought it's gonna be the same old chick flick, with a lot of clichés, but it wasn't. Well, partially it was, but somehow they managed to make it interesting and not that predictable. Of course, it has the classic high-school love, poor boy-rich girl, different lives, different paths and so on, but somehow they mixed up the things really fine. It has action, it has passionate love, great acting, interesting story, everything you are expecting from a love movie. I've seen all the movies based on Nicholas Sparks's novels, not because I'm a fan (I only read "The Notebook"), but everybody was talking about his novels and the films, so I was just curious and I end it up actually enjoying them. Great movies to watch with your friends at a sleepover.
