This "movie" was terrible, and giving it a one-star is honestly too kind. For one, the cast was wrong. I'm sorry, but Dylan Sprouse doesn't "tower" over the girl. They're at eye level. Find someone attractive, or at the very least, someone who resembles the book character. In the book, it is repeatedly noted that Travis is tall, muscular, and good-looking, and Dylan Sprouse doesn't even remotely resemble that. I won't even bother with the woman they cast. Secondly, not only was the acting something out of a high school play, but the storyline doesn't match the book!!! I won't get into any specifics there - anyone that's skimmed the book can see that, but I think it should be addressed that at no point was this book ever labeled or conveyed as a romantic comedy. The comedy that was incorporated into this movie was, if anything, uncomfortable to watch and made this movie that much more unbearable.
