6/10
Had lots of potential

I watched this because I'm a fan of Matt Dillon and he did not disappoint. He played the shy dreamboat quite well. This movie is very much like The Notebook. Poor boy who falls in love with the rich girl who's way out of his league.

How did he win her heart? By being genuinely kind and respectful. It's really a beautiful love story. They end up eloping despite both their parents telling them not to.

SPOILERS: The shocking twist is that her father believes that boy is his son, making them brother and sister. This creates an urgency because she finds out she's pregnant and thinks she must have an abortion. She ends up getting one and it's hard to tell if she lives or not. The ending wasn't clear to me.

Overall I did enjoy this film but I wish there were maybe 30 more minutes where everything gets cleared up and they live happily ever after.
