    Dear God, It's Me Loren.

    Holy crap this was terrible. It was not a thriller. It was barely a romantic movie because there was no real romancing, they just skipped straight to being back together.

    The music? OH GOD THE MUSIC WAS THE CHEESIEST THING SINCE KRAFT BLUE BOX.

    Plot twist had less twists than SOMETHING WITH NO TWISTS IN IT. Apparently I need more words to describe how bad this movie was. Apparently I need more words to describe how bad this movie was.
