Based on the novel of the same name.

I cried at the ending.  Bit of a twist that I didn't really see coming.
I have to admit, I didn't really know who Zac Efron was until a few months ago, but I get it.  I see what everyone is all goo-goo about him for.

This is by the same author who wrote the Notebook and has the same sort of rhythm to it.
It's a story of a knight in shinning armor for the modern world. You can't help but think this could have easily been made as a Sunday night Hallmark style film.  

what do i think i learned from this film?
Honor, love, respect.  It's what everyone is looking for and very few ever find.
