Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene Rock!, Dec 19 2011

This movie was really good. I only knew Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene from "Twilight" so to see them as totally different characters in the same movie was pretty impressive. The movie was very moving. I say see it.

Must See!!!!, Jan 11 2012

Even though Kellan plays the main character of the story, Ashley is the one narrating and it adds another layer to the story coming from her point of view. I can honestly say I cried multiple times throughout. Kellan is brilliant and proves he is leading man material. He takes you through the journey of becoming the man he is meant to be and you can't help but root for him. When Kellan cries, it is so moving, you can feel his pain. Even if his portrayal doesn't get you crying (and it should its that good) the music will. The song selection is spot on and really lets you know what the producers want you to feel. There is a great moment between Kellan and Ashley in a car that is just so moving, the connection between the two is magnetic. When the two of them have a scene together the chemistry is powerful and translates on screen well. While Kellan pulls off the more serious parts we still get to see his fun loving side and hear some great wise cracks that we are all used to. Plus you do get to see him shirtless at some points which is never bad lol. The ending was perfect and the last image was breath taking in my opinion. There are a few twists that I didn't see coming (I am pretty good at guessing twists) that gave more of a background to the story as a whole. I guess what I am trying to say is if you are looking for a good heartfelt movie, or if you are just fan of Ashley or Kellan's, this is a must see.

A very un-original and predictable movie about a high school sports star. Could have been worse though. I say B-., Dec 27 2011

"It's funny what you notice the first time you see someone, confidence, a nice smile, a little connection. What you don't see, what's impossible to know at first glance is everything else. At least everything that counts." Conor Sullivan (Lutz) is the best Lacross player on his team. The only problem is he is cocky and not a team player. When his dad is transfered across the country Conor has to start all over to make the team and prove that he is a team player. This movie is not terrible, but very cheesy and extremely predictable. Much like the recent faith-based movies all the problems in this movie seemed to be solved way to easy. To me a movie without a real push back against the lead actor seems boring and too cookie cutter like. While I can't really say anything bad about this movie because I did like it, I can't really say anything really good about it either because ten minutes in I could tell how it would end. That makes a movie boring to me. Overall, not a bad movie and if you like this kind of thing you will really enjoy it. I give it a B-.
