I liked this movie

There seem to be very few films with compelling teenage heroines, but this is one of them. Admittedly, some of the themes are cliched and the storyline is pretty predictable. However, I think it's worth watching if you like seeing strong female characters.

Big thumbs up here

I really liked this movie. It has the intimacy and pace of a very good teenage-book, in the style of Robin Klein, and has some fine acting to boot, especially Aleska Pallidino as Maddy. I can't believe it has only recieved a rating of 5.1 on the viewer scale, which leads me to the conclusion that this movie won't suit all tastes. You're either going to hate this movie, if you have no patience, or you're going to love it like I did. Big thumbs up.
