  Excellent, Excellent movie. The story is unbelievably striking, and the acting is beautifully done. Love Jesse McCartney in this movie, Elisabeth Harnois is great as well (:

  To all of you who think Jesse is just a singer and has nothing to do with movies I have to tell you this:He proves us wrong by acting even better than singing!

• Cynthia S

  
  Surprisingly good movie. I honestly wasn't expecting much due to the casting of Jesse Mccartney...but he surprised me. He did quite well, as did the entire cast. The story is very compelling, and I found myself drawn in. Probably more of a teen flick, but I still enjoyed it.

  I LOVE Jesse McCartney....but this movie sucked a lot. The script was terrible. I mean how many times was the word "shit" used in this movie? Way too many to count. Not only that, but the script seemed like it was so clever when really it was cheesy and stupid. Everything that came out of Keith's mouth was ridiculously dumb. The whole time I was like Jesse McCartney what the HELL were you thinking! Anyone who read the script HAD to have known the movie was going to suck. The acting was also pretty lame. I mean the parents of Natalie were so obnoxious. They were so crazy and psychotic their characters were not believable at all. Natalie's boyfriend Raff was also so unrealistic. What a controlling jerk. He always has to be up in her business. Natalie should've dumped him a long time ago. Jesse's acting was probably sub par, I cut him some slack though since he really hasn't been in many movies. The plot came exactly from A Walk to Remember. Yeah they changed a few things around, but it was pretty much identical. A girl meets a boy who has (SPOILER) cancer, and her life is changed by him, and he dies afterwards. So unoriginal. They might as well just called it "Another Walk to Remember" the sequel to the first one. I thought the movie would be okay, but I was sorely mistaken. The plot was so rushed and inconsistent. Not my kind of movie at all. Everyone who wrote a fresh review of this movie has the worst possible taste in films. You can't just rate it good because it has Jesse McCartney in it. I'm a huge JMac fan, but even his gorgeous presence wasn't able to make this movie a winner.

  Actually really beautiful. Great performances, interesting premise, and so much build up.

• Nicki M

  
  Wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I did like it. I thought it would be a light teen movie, but it actually had quite a serious theme to it, similar to A walk to Remember. Both the lead actors were good in this, had not heard of either before. Worth a look.

  The draw of some people is so strong that you can't fight it. This movie shows that really well.

  There was something so sad, yet beautiful about this film. It wasn't just a love story, but rather a film about life, that shows us not only to appreciate it, but to appreciate the opportunity it affords us. The film is about the ability to choose what path your life takes and to appreciate the fact that you have a choice. I honestly didn't think this film would be very good, but Jesse McCartney was terrific in Summerland, so I decided to check it out. Jesse, you need to realize it's time to ditch the shitty pop songs and stick to acting, because you were truly great as Keith. Elisabeth Harnois was also very good as Natalie, and as I watched the movie, I realized I was feeling what her character was feeling, the textbook sign of an amazing performance. Honestly, it's a shame that big budget films get all the recognition, while something this magical is labeled direct-to-video and thrown in the $5.99 bin.

  I was channel surfing yet again amongst the premium channels and I stumbled across this surprisingly compelling Independent teen-drama/romance [with a bit of humor thrown in] on SHO2. Director Todd Kessler did a good job with the script by David Zabel, based on the short story by Ron Carlson. Just by reading the plot it seemed like a cliche but there was something special about this film. Great performances by Elizabeth Harnois ("Point Pleasant", "Ten Inch Hero", "A Single Man") and Jesses McCartney ("Beware the Gonzo", "Summerland")...I was especially surprised by his performance, their chemistry was actually quite amazing. Good supporting performances by Michael McGrady ("Southland","Day Break" ,"Half Past Dead"), Margo Harshman ("Even Stevens", "Sorority Row", "Fired Up!", "Run of the House"), Jennifer Grey ("Dirty Dancing", "Red Dawn", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Bounce"), Ethan Phillips ("Star Trek: Voyager", "Governmentia", "The Island", "Lean on Me", "Benson"), Ignacio Serrichio ("States of Grace","Cold Play", "General Hospital", "Quarantine 2: Terminal"), and Zack Rockefeller. Good score by Tree Adams ("Californication", "In Plain Sight", "Wasted", "Things Fall Apart" - upcoming drama), the score goes very well with the film, especially towards the end - the way sound of the guitar really pulls at your heartstrings. Great cinematography by Darko Suvak ("Danika", "8MM 2", "True Blue"). Overall it was a very good film. What I got from it is that life is short, nothing is exactly as it seems, love is unpredictable - you can't choose who you fall in love with, and love can drive you to the brink of sanity. I'm really glad I gave this movie a chance, it really surprised me...especially the acting.

  Wasn't sure what to expect from this, but when it ended I was impressed by it. The plot is fairly familiar, but it doesn't cease to impress. The acting was great and really inhanced the film.

  The bad part about this movie is that honestly I don't enjoy romantic dramas. The good thing is that I didn't really find out that this one is a drama until the last 15 minutes. I had fun trying to figure out what Keith really wanted, I also had a lot of fun at poor Natalie's expense (oh, she was puzzled and her friends were resentful). Natalie was right about Keith... he was a good actor, I never suspected a thing and enjoyed the little funny movie. Of course, a sensitive, delicate person will apreciate this film even more than I did. I can tell you it's way better than 'A Walk To Remember', mainly with the same issues, only this one tries to build a story, too. And succeeds.
