Cute movie!!!!

I recommend this movie. Eric looks really hot in this movie and I miss him. The acting wasn't bad at all. I loved Alona and Eric and the rest of the characters as well. They looked so cute together. They have that spark and chemistry. I was giggling and screaming at the couch with my sisters. XD It's a great movie. Way better than I expected.The plot is kinda shallow but it's really entertaining so it kinda makes up for it. Lots of stupid and really funny scenes. I loved the RMLF part. I'm so gonna buy this DVD and watch it all over again. (X I give it a 10. I kept laughing my ass off the entire movie. Hope you watch it. It's not corny and cheesy at all. (:
