      Josie Geller: That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.

      Cynthia: Damn girl... you are a writer.

    A sweet charmer

    I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It was charming, funny, and, at times painful. I, however think it was painful to watch because I had such a hard time at high school, and I could relate to this movie.

    It reminded me of "Mean Girls" a lot, although this had a softer edge to it.

    It was a bit predictable, but, sometimes a good, sweet, romance with a happy ending is what you want in a movie.

    The acting was good, and the story was believable-if a bit far-fetched.

    The sound track was awesome!
