I was under the illusion that this movie was a romantic movie. While having a romantic element, this movie didn't contain all of the conventions that normally come with a romantic movie. However, I still enjoyed the movie. It was a dramatic take on someone's life. The main characters are played quite nicely and I would've hated to be hit by that car (I wouldn't have been as nice as she was). I was also hoping (well not hoping just expecting) that the father had done something more than just be someone who cares only about themselves. I also wanted this girl the beat the crap out of him when he came back to her, or at least let them have a final embrace before the movie ended. I was sincerely unimpressed with the film even though I liked the story line.
