a modern day love story, 11 September 2004
9/10
Author: baby_natz16

this film is real...both touching and engaging. It covers some very taboo story lines, and when the characters lives finally connect, what we are left is one of the most romantic-erotic teen love scenes.

The characters are well acted, especially Jessica whose personality evolves over the course of the film.

Whilst there is little dialogue in this film, everything is said through Jenna and Ben's eyes - very convincing!
