I saw this movie and i am a huge fan of Julia Stiles. I loved this movie. It was awesome. Does anyone agree with me???

the first time i saw this movie was in the theater, and i distinctly remember walking out going "this was absolutely terrible." a few years later [after i had just gone through my first serious relationship/breakup/awkward get back together] i picked it up at the video store cause i really couldn't remember what it was about and gave it a second chance & wound up ADORING it.

there is not plot, the acting is pretty cheesy and terrible...but there is just something about it that makes me want to watch it over and over again. probably cause it is relateable.

i love this movie.. everytime i watch it its better and better.. It's actually become my favorite movie.. just most younger people dont enjoy it i guess because it's to grown up. i dont know ..i'm 24 now but i didnt enjoy it as much when it first came out..and i do now.. and this movie is hard to find on dvd anywhere if you try to buy it.. but it's a great movie..

I watched it last night to see Rosario Dawson(Lana). I thought she was great in it, and overall I thought the movie was pretty good, although it's not one of my favorites.

I really like it, too, and like other people who have said they like it, appreciated it even more when I had my first serious relationship/break up.

I actually like it too! I think I was only in 8th grade when it first came out and I didn't get it at all. Now, as a junior in college, I feel I can understand and relate to the characters a lot better! It's not the best movie in the world, but it's something I'd watch again for entertainment.

This is my opinion so please people dont yell.I dont like this movie because its boring.For me.Im sure lots of people love it.It hasnt got that special something that i like.

I'm 19.. going on 20. I just thought it was.. boring. There was a lot of questions that weren't left answered. A lot of pointless scenes, pointless characters.. pretty bad acting by Julia and Freddie. They were already together in the beginning so you knew they'd break up and be back together in the end. I don't know.. not.. so.. great...

Yep, I argue. :]

I love Julia Stiles..I really wanted to like this movie, it had great potential. I mean, who doesn't still think about their first love, even if it is for the briefest second, once a year? There was no chemistry between the characters. I know the first few months of dating is the infamous "honeymoon stage", but I just didn't feel it, I wanted to. Also, the friend characters were really bad..not funny, I just wanted to fast foward everytime Rosario, the monk guy and mullet growing guy came on screen.
