It was excellent

I thought this movie was excellent. Robin Lively and Dan Gauthier have excellent chemistry together and make a great team. The way Robin Lively portrayed a misfit in school at the beginning and then the most popular girl in school was wonderful. She was simply amazing in the role of the girl who wanted to fit in, but found out fitting in isn't always the most important thing in high school.
