I can't think of a more by-the-numbers cliché fest. In the early 2000s, Hillary Duff had a modicum of fame, as another Disney channel generated star, in the vein of Lindsay Lohan. To her immense credit, she didn't end up a similar train wreck. Still, her limited appeal as the "charming, good girl next door" is on full display in this calculated safe movie that takes no risks.Holly Hamilton (Duff) is tired of her single mother (Heather Locklear)'s routine of dating, getting too involved, getting dumped and uprooting her and her sister constantly. So, through a variety of passing gifts and letters along, she creates a fictional secret admirer who fits her mother's standards of romantic perfection. What follows is the classic "liar revealed" story, as Holly gets in too deep and has to constantly tell lie after lie. As I said, all the clichés are here: the over-looked guy who is trying to win Holly's affections, the quirky best friend (played by Caroline Rhea, who had some success for a short time in this time of role following her tenure on "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch"), the flamboyant gay guy who is thrown in there for comic relief, the clueless klutz of a guy who provides a "competitor" for Holly's fictional boyfriend. Along with the characters, there's also the "girls just wanna have fun" far too choreographed dance sequence, the "liar revealed" scene where it looks like everything's ruined, the pop song sequence ("Collide" by Howie Day. In fairness, as far as corny early '00s pop goes, it's one of the better ones).There's absolutely nothing "bad" about this movie. If you're looking for a safe teen romance, it's not bad. It just takes no risks and goes nowhere you don't see coming a million miles away.

I don't know whether this is just because I'm hungover and therefore less patient than usual but I couldn't stomach any of the characters in this film.The mother is so selfish: I mean using the school discussion to try and get dates, really?! Holly is completely unlikeable, I mean does the best friend ever get to speak unless it's to do with Holly's selfish plan. Don't even get my started on the younger sister. The entire family annoyed me.A positive note I did like the supporting characters, like the boyfriend and the waiter for a bit of comic relief.I just was disappointed so much by the mother the entire time with her 'If I can't find a man I have to move attitude' that I couldn't be happy for her.Anyway I'm ranting, but I wouldn't recommend this film anymore. Not even Duff fans. I mean I love Chris Noth and even he couldn't save it.

Well it was better than Material Girls but didn't compare to A Cinderella Story or Raise Your Voice.Me personally i like a little bit of drama in a movie... a character dies (the more important to the story line the better) they lose everything etc... therefore i enjoyed the fact she was new at the school and was so messed in the head after the mums failed relationships that she wanted to run away.umm to be honest i didn't like the hair styles Hilary was wearing. it made her look plain and boring...The story line was good... the acting was good ( a few cheesy lines not even Denzel could make believable) the drawing was wicked! Overall its worth a watch :) xSx87x

I don't know why in the first place I'm so obsessed to find an original copy for this movie. Seeing the trailer was a means of breakdown, a failure to my expectations. I was excited to watch the movie to consider Heather Locklear and Hilary Duff would be working in the same film, but the plot was quite unconvincing, however for some reason I could not totally hate it. The setting of the story was cute, fine and atmospheric, but the its feeble plot remind me of knocking my prospects once again instead of knocking my socks off. Nothing interesting so far, but a simple movie with half-wits, half drama and half phase turning enigmas.If you're in the mood this may spoil your disposition or maybe freeze your temper.
