These cheesy movies often have overly dramatic, over-the-top acting and directing that's so silly it becomes irritating. While young love is sometimes giddy and silly, the acting by the young couple was so ridiculous you could hardly stand watching it. But the director apparently thought it was good to have these young actors overplay their parts, especially the girl. And speaking of directing, the director made the whole movie even worse. Many scenes were laid out so poorly, they were completely unbelievable. As you watched it, over and over you knew in real life people wouldn't do these things or behave this way. And of course the script was so unrealistic at times, you almost had to shake your head and disbelief. I kept trying to watch the movie because I thought it would be fairly well done. I wasted 30 minutes trying to watch it because I knew the story it was based upon, but it was certainly a wasted 30 minutes. I would advise to move on to a different movie.
