This movie is so sweet and uplifting, that it is hard not to like it. Sure, it has some corny stuff in it that may seem a bit outdated by today's standards - what with teen movies that portray kids having sex with baked pastry objects, etc. And it may seem too much like a "chick flick" at first, but after I watched it a few times, it seemed more like a film for both sexes, as well as all ages: young people can still watch it and feel some good and positive vibes from it, and older people (like me) can watch it and taste a golden drop of sweet nostalgia.
Julia Roberts is really fun to watch in this movie, too. It's nice to see her in the seminal part of her movie career. I don't like everything Julia has been in, and I don't always like her acting presence, but hey, she DID give Dave Letterman the finger once when she was a guest on the David Letterman show, so Julia will always be one of my idols.
