    What a cheezy movie. The acting was pretty lame but tolerable. The love story was pretty blah but it had a few moments. You can tell this was written by someone way too young and unexperienced in writing. Overly sentimental and never fully explores any of it's plot points. The la...( read more)st half hour was a bit unbelievable and pointless.

    Eh, not bad but you could do better and certainly worse! The main character goes through a lot but in the end it doesnt really go anywhere. There isnt a real resolution to everything. Plus the hot guy leaves.

    This movie was ok. But the acting wasn't the best. The story line was eh. The Soundtrack sucked. I give it 2 stars and that's being generous. The ending sucked really really badly

    This movie was okay. I don't understand how the boys mother could just drop dead like that. This movie had a good story line.

    It just, fizzled. The ending was boring and dull. And the soundtrack sucked! it consited of two songs, one for sad times one for happy, and they played both a few times. Just boring.

    Justin Lo makes his feature film debut as Charlie Conrad, a 19-year-old history buff with the world on his shoulders. Following the death of his mother, Charlie sets aside his college plans to raise his highly imaginative 9-year-old brother Ben (Boo Boo Stewart). Isolated from his peers, Charlie accepts his responsibility yet secretly yearns for the freedom and romance associated with youth. Charlie suddenly gets his chance when he meets Jordan Rivers (Nick Bartzen), a charismatic drifter and fellow lost soul. The two of them hit it off immediately, and they soon embark on a tumultuous romance that gives Charlie a taste of the freedom he's been craving. Just as their relationship intensifies, however, Charlie's long-absent father, Doug (Barry Shay), returns to town with his own plans to take care of Ben. Caught in a struggle for Ben and eager to hold on to Jordan, Charlie must finally search his soul and make momentous decisions regarding the future of his family.
