You know, when this movie first came out, I saw it slammed by critics and the box-office as well . . . Usually not a good sign for a movie, eh? But, after just seeing it on cable I ask, why the paltry 4 stars? Have the people that voted ever BEEN in a college romance? This movie actually opened up some old wounds. It hurt, yes, and I wasn't all that happy a person after seeing it, but . . . It was very honest. I couldn't believe how honest and true this couple's problems were. In the end you have a movie with a very believable romance that also offers just the right amount of hope at the end for those poor saps like myself. Those ones who never quite got over that college love . . .
