This movie is ADORABLE! I love Rob Reiner's movies (Stand by Me is my favorite movie of all time) and this one is no exception. Juli Baker fell in love with Bryce Loski the moment they met, when they were little. And she is even more in love with him now. She's also convinced that he reciprocates these feelings. But, as you see Bryce's side of the story, you realize not only does he not feel the same way, he actually dislikes Juli Baker. He dislikes the way she follows him around all the time, the way she sticks up for a stupid tree, and the way she won't stop giving him eggs from her chickens. Then, in eighth grade, everything changes. All of a sudden, Bryce thinks her unusual interests are kind of cool. And Juli starts to think that maybe Bryce's gorgeous blue eyes are as empty as the rest of him. Just when Juli almost gives up on Bryce is when he realizes he doesn't want her to give up on him. Madeline Carroll is really good as Juli, but Callan McAuliffe (who was in I Am Number Four after this movie) really makes the movie with his adorable performance as Bryce. A great new Rob Reiner classic.
