Gruwell‚ then that’s fantastic and good for her. This movie has a cliché story line‚ but I don’t think that it was a bad movie‚ as it is a true story. I think that more stories like that need to be told‚ even if they do have a sappy ending. Also this movie was a little slow-paced and redundant.

This movie has been done too many times and I would not waste my money
