I never really understood what people meant when they spoke of on screen chemistry, until I watched this movie. Freddie and Julia are cute to watch, but their coupling, was just not believable. Truth be told, I found the scenes of them kissing, almost painful to watch. It's meant to be a romance, and it looked as though he was kissing his sister.
I am a fan of Julia Stiles, and I went into this movie, thinking it would be of the same caliber as 10 Things I Hate About You, but it didn't even come close. And it all boiled down to the one thing ... no chemistry.
If you are a fan of Julie or Freddie, and just want to watch because it is a title with their name on it. Then ya, go ahead. If you are looking to feel to be griped by gut wrenching teen angst that comes with the normal boy meets girl movie, then you should pass this title completely.
