I was flipping through some movie channels late one night, just looking for a decent movie to watch before I fell asleep. Well, I stumbled across this one, and before I even knew it, I had been watching for 45 minutes. The reason I started watching it was because I, too, had gone through a similar situation, where I was crazy about a girl in school, was considered a "friend", etc etc etc. I kind of "felt" for the character, Chris, during the first part of the movie. Well, I am still wondering why I let myself watch this whole movie. It was extremely predictable, it was poorly written, very unrealistic, and just plain bad. Without ruining the scenes, or giving away too much, you'll just have to take my word for it. After an hour of watching, I wanted to go to bed, but was actually laughing at how *rediculous* it was. The scenes which involved Chris going to see Jamie were just pathetic. The way people acted in certain scenes is *not* how people act in real life. Too many times I found myself scoffing, saying, "what the heck! People do *not* do that". "Accidents" that happened in the movie were blown way out of proportion, and "dumb" characters were really overused. It's just a big waste. I am actually mad at myself for losing two hours of my life, and two hours of sleep, on this piece of trash. This movie is not for intelligent people. It is for dumb teenagers with nothing else to do. I now feel ashamed to admit that I was one of the idiots that watched it.
