Well, I agree with other reviewers: Jessica Lowndes is definitely improving. But still cant believe someone who looks as good as she does, is so over-the-top insecure I almost every movie. Why doesn't she ever play someone who has some confidence? It has been so over done by her, then her character is so perfect at everything she does, that it comes off as ridiculous. She is still very wooden, but she does relax more this movie than I've seen her yet. Chad Michael Murray was great, once you get past the weird blond bushy hair. His character starts out as kind of a know-it-all but improves over the course of the movie. I agree with another reviewer that the conflict toward the end was very high school-ish. And someone as smart as her character is supposed to be, wouldn't have let the jealous girl's comments bother her. The conflict just seemed forced and the reunion was rediculously dramatic. I also thought the discussion of permant and "making this a tradition" was too much after only spending a week together.
