The movie was well paced, witty and had a nice warm feeling. It was a little predictible but what can you expect from a movie based on something most teen-age boys have read. My only complaints were: I think that they played Jim Stone a little to soft and Ms Everhart didn't get enough screen time. I'd like to have given the movie 4.5 starts but it was 4 or 5 so I chose 4.
