Thoughts

This ended up being a lot better than I thought it was going to be - was after something slightly mindless just to chill out to, and it delivered that in spades. It wasn't as good as some of the more classic teen rom-coms, but it was still totally watchable and entertaining.

Love seeing young Brittany Snow, as well, who I only know from Pitch Perfect but really like!
