Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

ELOQUENCIA It is dreamy, romantic, funny and the characters are easy to like. I recommend this film for any teenage girl or any adult who wants to remember the innosence of those times. Don't miss it! It was just re-released in 2001 on DVD and VHS. I'm waiting for the soundtrack to come out as well. The music is GREAT!.. Just a great feel good movie.

jwillia69 After all these years and now having teen-age daughters myself, I haven't forgotten the impact that a first major crush can have on your life. As a teenager I related to everything Jessie felt, and now looking back on my own years, they were some of the most memorable! I can't wait for my own girls to see it with me!

fritziph The best teenage love story that transcends time in my opinion. I was 13 when I first saw it too and even now that I'm 36 I have discovered it all over again. My daughter and my best friend's daughter have fell in love with it too since my mom bought me a copy of it for Christmas. I have all 3 books in the series too. Even though the movie is 13 years old it still is a wonderful love story for today. Rex Smith was wonderful in it and his voice is even more beautiful today. This movie was a great spring board for him since he is now a broadway lead actor and singer. I highly recommend this movie...it's my personal favorite!

joji-1 I taped this movie from TV in my teens and watched it whenever I was feeling a bit down. It is a wonderfully feel-good movie and I can totally relate to 13 year old Jessie. Unfortunately it was accidentally taped over when I was in my early 20's and I have only just managed to acquire another copy, over 10 years later. I sat down and watched it today and discovered that all the magic is still there for me. I love the clothes Jessie wears because they are similar to the clothes I wore at her age. I love the way she is not totally skinny, but about the same weight I was at that age. I thoroughly enjoyed the music which is really great and typical of the era. I even felt comfortably at home in the mall! In fact, I melted into the couch and just let the whole atmosphere of the film wash over me and was glued to the screen from beginning to end. For anyone who likes feel-good romances, I thoroughly recommend this film. Although I have emphasized my reasons for liking it so much as being related to my own teenage experiences, the issues Jessie faces in the film are still pertinent to teenagers today.
