Thoughts on the film...


I was wondering about everyone's thoughts on the film? For the most part I thought it was pretty good! I like how it showed the reality of life for most people after graduation (in most movies the characters lead unrealistic lives, have perfect jobs and perfect houses, etc)

It WAS unrealistic how the main character 'forgot' that one of her good 'friends' fooled around with her boyfriend on prom night, that's something i'd never forget, lol.

The girls were pretty (if at times annoying) and the songs kind of funny, but it's something i'd watch again next year for the holidays.

I liked it and hope that this entry is updated with the actors' names. Esp Ben and Georgia. I especially recognized Georgia's mom however forgot the actress' name!

This movie was just ok for me. I love these types of movies around this time of year. I like knowing I'm going to get a happy ending...but

Everyone in this movie just seemed especially immature for their supposed age. It was as if no one had matured and they were still teens trapped in 30 year old bodies.

The 'friends' were annoying, the signing was not needed and not particularly well done (there were only four people in glee club in HS seriously??? And they happened to be the cheer squad, whom there is also only four of???)

The small 'dad disapproves of me' storyline was so insignificant why even bother?

I couldn't see at all what she saw in the jock...even in HS, let alone when she was nearing 30. I loved her best friend from the get go.

It reminded me a lot of Romy and Michelle's High School reunion trying to do Christmas with less likeable characters.

Having said all that, I would watch it again if I stumbled across it.



Hello, IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again?

A very well put together movie that is not with your usual hyped up stars and does show a decent lifestyle of a girl not thinking that the one fellow that she had all along was ready to say "goodby".Sometimes the one that is meant to be with us are right in front of our midst.Hopefully,movies of this style will come back on the screen showing character and true love.

I thought it was pretty bad, even for a Lifetime movie. They looked like they were going to a 20 year highschool reunion, everyone looked older than 28. I think its made worse by them not using different/younger actors for the flashback scenes. Also, the singing was so unneeded. Finally, like someone else already pointed out, how is it that there was only a 4 person cheerleading squad/glee club consisting of all the same people? Im willing to suspend a certain amount of belief for television movies, but this movie was just ridiculous

The main character is so gorgeous Rachael Boston is gorgeous - NONE of those other girls had ANYTHING on her... and her best friend Ben was def her "soul mate"... the hell w/craig and that whore best friend of hers. EXCEPT for that cute blonde who kept eating - she really liked Georgia alot and I hated the one who became a model she was so mean to all of them but esp the small blonde and Georgia of course.. the movie was cute.

I have to agree. I realize that in most of these movies, the writers expect you to suspend some belief but that was just asking too much. I would imagine that something like that would "always" be remembered. That being the case, how could she possibly still be pining over such a dimwit. Secondly, after 10 years, you would think that Ben would have matured enough to not allow himself to be put immediately back in the friend zone. Why torture yourself like that? He had the opportunity early on to lay it out there for her and if she doesn't like it then move on. Even later in the music room when he was just about to tell her I couldn't help but to believe by her expressions that she knew what he was about to say but didn't want to hear it. Definitely time to move on.

The actress was giving it her all and I can fault her for anything. I have seen Broadway musicals where people had less musical talent.

Now would I ever watch it again? "No".
