WOW what a film debut for the 14 year old at that time Reese! No wonder why she was cast for one of the leading roles and not for the extras she auditioned for... Her acting on the film explains her later took off in Hollywood. I think though that her recent movies don't do her justice.. Overall, a good film, with pretty scenery and good photography. Other than Reese and Mr Waterston, the rest of the cast is ok and so is the plot.

It was the first time I saw Reese Witherspoon's performance.. and bang!!! It was amazing! And I knew It, that she'd be a big star someday.. well now, with an Oscar in her hand... I guess my guts were right.. And about this movie.. LOVE it !!! I even bought the laser disc version of it (dvds weren't there yet). Later that i knew, that this movie was the first movie of Reese Witherspoon too. Not many actors would give such a golden performance in their first time.So I got nothing more to say except that the story, the actors' performances and the soundtracks, they're all g.r.e.a.t !Let's sing.. "I would spend my whole life through, loving you, just loving you....."

my heart is pounding while I write this review .my first love as a young girl imagines and fall for a boy who in turn is a victim of age affected romance. many scenes struck my mind like I was living my life back in my adolescence - don't know what to do in the 1st love. a girl's perspective along a boy's is seen in a perfect way. sometime words don't describe the feelings .same is the condition with me. I say innocent love is supreme. Love should be happening without any external factor.But it is life and nothing perfect can occur here.OK now I am being 2 emotional.

The movie itself is really good! The story contains a lot of interesting topics that maybe should have been developed in a different way (as the love of younger girl for an older boy). The final scene is what (in my opinion) ruined the whole movie, and that's why i haven't give it a 10 or a 9. The fact that Court creates a fight between the sisters should be the beginning of a big part of the story, not an episode that is developed in the last 20 minutes or something, that concludes itself with the death of the young man and the resolution in 5 minutes of the sisters' fight. Maybe to not introduce this final part or to put it in advance was going to be the best choice.
