In one word: Whoa!! If you want a school romance this is it! I absolutely loved it and it brought out strong emotions that movies rarely do for me. And they had bad boys with awesome fight scenes. Something I really enjoyed about this movie it the fight sequences. I love movies with tough guys but was always really annoyed when one blow would permanently knock an opponent out and the victor walked away without a scratch. Not in this movie! Flesh wounds, blood, and bruises? Present. Intimidating opponents that put up a real fight? Check! okay so the STORY. I gave a 8. Only because it was kind of generic. But there's nothing wrong with that. Its actually what I was looking for. ACTING/CAST 10 With such a typical story line the cast made it so real and emotional. They didn't seem forced at all. It was just great. my only complaint is really insignificant but chemistry between the leads could have been stronger. MUSIC 8 Meaning I didn't really notice it but it didn't make me cringe, so it must have been good, but would normally get a 6. But, the end song was great and really just embodied what I was feeling at that point so it got a 8. REWATCH 10 It is a movie so its not long and drawn out. If you got two hours and want to see good looking guys fight over a girl and maybe cry a bit, this is for you.
