Review:
I don't usually like movies based on Nicholas Sparks books with the exception being The Notebook. This one was much better than I thought it would be. I really enjoyed the storyline. And the characters were decent. The overall mystery was very predictable, but that's not what kept me watching. I liked the sections involving Katie and Alex. Decent romance...
Best Bits:
- Roger: When did we start selling paint? Alex: Today.
- Jo: Good, you can keep me from peeking inside neighbors windows, it's a bad habit of mine.
- Jo: The good thing Katie, is that life is full of second chances.
- Jo: Promise me something Katie, you'll take a lot of pictures and only regret the ones that you didn't take.
- Lexie: Whatcha paintin'? Katie: My floor! Lexie: Floor? Usually people don't paint floors!
