this film teach me a lot about human nature and and about have such ardent hope amid such dire condition . the protagonist or narrator cassandra play excellently by ramola garai turn in a tour de force performance a a sometime gawky and awkward teen who despite her naiveté be so wise behind her year when deal with people and affair of the heart . the movie make me laugh and cry and give me hope that no matter how bad thing can get and life will somehow work itself out if you have faith and a good head on your shoulder and believe in those close to you . i be glad i record this on tivo . this be one movie i do not think i will ever delete . i highly recommend this movie for it simple lesson and it picturesque scenery .
