Have you ever dated somebody who is a total opposite?
This was a sweet movie about two teenagers who are total opposites. Landon is a popular guy in high school. When a prank against a fellow student goes totally wrong, he’s forced into punishment by the principal. The punishment includes tutoring other students, assisting the janitor, and participating in the high school play. He finds himself working with Jaime in the play, by playing the lead role opposite hers.
Jaime is not well-liked at school. A preacher’s daughter and a loner, she finds solace looking at the stars and having goals and dreams about her life. Jaime also has a deep faith in God.
Jaime and Landon’s lives take an interesting turn when he goes to her for help in learning his lines for the high school play. They find themselves attracted to one another, which causes a sticky situation in Landon’s life since it doesn’t help his image to be seen with a girl like Jaime.
However, there’s a startling, unique reason why Jaime should not fall in love.
I enjoyed this movie. I especially liked how this movie showed how two opposites can become attracted to one another. If you’ve seen this movie, I’d love to hear your thoughts about it!

***I also wanted to add that this movie reminded me of the young adult books written by Lurlene McDaniel. It also reminded me of a novel I read a LONG TIME ago called P.S. I Love You.
The movie is a good one, but throughout the movie I kept thinking that if this girl was a Christian she shouldn’t be getting involved with an obvious non-Christian. Just my take. I guess I am getting cynical in my old age. As for getting involved with opposites, I definitely do have the habit of doing that. Perhaps that’s why they say that opposites attract.
Hi, Kathy
The Christian/Non-Christian angle “kinda” crossed my mind during the movie, but, I didn’t give it much thought since they were teenagers and she lived in a strict household.
***SPOILER
I figured out the girl was sick WAY BEFORE she told her boyfriend. I figured that out when her father reprimanded her for falling for the hero and told her she needed to “stop acting childish” about it. I knew there was a reason why he’d said that and I figured what it was. Not sure why/how I knew, but, I just knew…
It was a good movie and I did find myself crying at the end. It does appear that the hero turned completely around as well. It was a fairly clean movie and I do recommend it to anyone. 🙂
