User Review
Perfect romantic comedy
Rating: 8/10
I thought this movie was a funny and a romantic chick flick. Hilary
Duff is one of my favorite actresses and she plays a perfect Sam in
this movie. This movie is pretty predictable but still fun to watch. If
your bored one day go to the video store and check this movie out. It
is very interesting to watch from beginning to end. Chad Micheal Murray
is a great Austin for this movie and has what it takes.I never get sick
of watching this movie.Every character in this movie was the right
pick.I'm so glad Hilary played Sam instead of somebody else.If you are
not interested in this movie, at least give it a chance! From a scale
1-10 i give this movie a 8. Two thumbs up!
