Some family friends came over last night, and all the younger people watched a movie, and since I was the only male there of the teens and younger group (Though I'm less than a year off NOT being a teenager--Yay!), we watched this movie. All the women wanted to watch it, and considering I read on Switchfoot's website that it had four songs from them on the soundtrack and Mandy Moore actually sang "Only Hope" during the movie, I was kinda interested in seeing it (Only Hope is my favorite Switchfoot song--it's REALLY good, and though I still prefer the Switchfoot version, Mandy Moore did a good job with it).

The plot is total chick flick, and is nothing way too out of the ordinary. However, the acting was pretty darn good, and I loved the Christian twists mixed into such a mainstream movie. I personally think that the Christian influence is what separated this movie from the crowd, so to speak. While it was quite depressing, at the same time, it's extremely uplifting.

Just my two cents.

Yeah I love this movie too! I saw it in the theater and I wasn't sure but then I saw it again on video and I loved it! My friend and I talk about how he always calls her "baby" we're like "aww I wanna be called baby!" . I love that switchfoot did most the songs in it. Only Hope is such a beautiful song! Although i love the way Many sings it but I think Switchfoot still sings it better . Does anyone know if Mandy is a Christian?

LOL @ first thing i quoted...
and I think shes Catholic..(close enough for this movie).

I cried and cried and cried in this movie. I hated to love it.

Did anyone else notice that the song made you cry more than the acting? I dunno..it was boht of it put together but the music...oh how I loathed the music...my eyes were all puffy and wet and yicky.

You just need to tap into your feminine side! lol

I'm sure this isn't the case for you but every time I hear a guy dis chick flicks just because it's a chick flick, I have one word come to mind, "immature!"

Have you heard of Calvary Chapel? I noticed you live in So. Cal. There are like a ton of Calvary Chapels down there.
