i saw this film when i be just a teenager and i love it . the character be believable and the story be interest . jessie and although only 13 and isn not treat like a baby and even when she mess up . the teenage boy isn not a disrespectful and selfish dummy only out for one thing and he still sexy and cool . now that the movie have come out on dvd and i have a daughter of my own in her early teen and i can not wait to watch it with her . a a family movie and it will give parent and kid the opportunity to talk about why it important to be honest and that be okay with who you be be always a good idea . highly recommended .
