I really enjoyed this movie. I didn't go having high or low expectations...i didn't even know what to expect. I thought the fight scenes were well choreographed. I heard that the Angels (Drew Barrymore, at least) did their own stunts - not stunt doubles. Also, all the hype about the 'bad moon-walk'... I got the impression that she couldn't do it in the first place, and it was supposed to funny, a joke. At any rate, I thought it was pretty funny...Cameron Diaz' butt dance to the big butt song, and the three girls dressed up in Swedish outfits. By the way, did anybody get the impression that Charlie is Drew's dad?

Andre has to be one of my all-time favorite movies. I read the book for a science project and was thrilled when it was made into a movie. Although it didn't follow the book exactly, I thought it was good nevertheless. Tina Majorino is a wonderfully gifted actress, and did a great job in her roll of Toni. The casting was well done, period. The sea lion (although it was supposed to be a seal) is adorable. It is a heart-warming, must-see movie.

I really enjoyed this movie. Never have I seen a movie in which a character displays such believable strength. Novalee had gone through so much in her young life, and Natalie Portman did an excellent job portraying her. I cannot think of another actress who would have been able to pull off a performance like that. There were tear-jerking moments and funny moments and on the edge of your seat moments, elements which make it great, because it not only ends happily, but it puts in comic relief in the most tense parts. Ashley Judd, Stockard Channing, James Frain, and Dylan Bruno also made their characters come to life. I definitely think this should be nominated for some kind of award. This movie shares the ups and the downs of being a single, teenage mother. It touches a subject many people are uncomfortable with and don't want to discuss.
