This movie is really great for young adults and up.
It is sort of a chick flick but not really! Its got great characters that really represent there time period.
Great acting but also just a great story line over all.

NEVER GETS OLD
on February 9, 2008

This movie never really gets old. Its got a different story than the predicable one that you think its going to already be.
Amanda Bynes is great in this movie along with Oliver James.
The songs and the storyline never seem to get old!

CLASSIC
on February 9, 2008
Posted by: ShopGirl23
This is another classic that everyone should see. Its story line is quite unique and is NOT PREDICTABLE!
Though younger viewers should really watch it NOT BECAUSE OF THE DANCING but because the story line is a bit difficult to understand if you are unaware of the time period
