you can pretty much choose side from the other user comment here . no need to rehash it all again . if there be any sympathy for boy or men here and i miss it . i say represent this be a whiny and preposterous fem bias look at several inter relate love relationship and tell by mandy moore at the center . i say represent if woman be describe this way non stop for a whole movie and this film would be rip from the mall and somebody would have to start apologize . as talented a moore be and she need to put a lot of pout on just to get through this film . why . because dad and mom and new boyfriend and boyfriend of friend and parent of sister boyfriend everybody be just so inept and shallow and faithless and and not to be count on . nobody come through for u kid . about the only people who really understand love and or can practice it with any decency be teen girl . and even they confess and it hard to do . ( a show of hand if anyone believe that besides teen girl . ) and just when you think the film will deliver a laugh or an insight and all it can manage be one of those cheap and spur of the moment comment that kid make up in the hallway between class when there really isn not any time to think thing through . bad . bad . bad .
