I've grown to appreciate AJ Trauth watching Even Stevens, and I was interested to see how well he would hold up as a leading man. I was pleased at how well he did in this movie. His performance was wonderful. I really felt for Alex. It would have been easy to have a mediocre performance as Alex, as the script is pretty standard Disney, but he did a great job. I think Lalaine also played a very good counter to AJ's Alex/jock persona - a role that could have been overdone.
All in all, the script was not much better than most of the junk Disney puts out, but the performances let you put that aside for a couple hours and get into the emotion in the story. The actors get you to believe these people have real feelings for each other.
