Adorable love story, Salma and Matthew are wonderful, 25 November 1998
Author: Adriane Simo (adriane7@mindspring.com) from chandler, az

I loved this movie and so did my boyfriend, and he doesn't like that many love stories. These two are a great couple on screen, and they would look very cute off as well. Great idea, and the love story was entertaining.
