Itโ€™s like heavenโ€ฆright here on earth. Maybe thatโ€™s what heaven is. Maybe we go thru life collecting people and places we love. And they become our heaven. This is a movie that still makes me sniffle every time I watch it. It's about a summer romance between Kel (Chris Klein) and Sam (Leelee Sobieski), but it's the quiet heartbreak of Jasper (Josh Hartnett) that really stays with you. I loved watching the chemistry between Sam and Kel develop, their laughter and adventures feeling like the perfect summer fling. But for me, the real heart of the movie is Jasperโ€ฆ whoโ€™s unrequited love is both beautiful and bittersweet. I remember watching this movie for the first time and feeling like I was right there with Jasper, feeling every ounce of his pain and longing. He just genuinely wanted her to be happy, so he took a step back and sacrificed his own feelings. This was the role where I first fell in love with Josh Hartnett. It has a gentle pace that feels perfectly suited to the story. It's about the complexities of love and relationships, how sometimes the hardest thing to do is let go and a reminder that love isn't always easy or straightforward. Does Sam ultimately pick Kel or Jasper? You will have to watch it to find out. Be sure to grab some tissues! 7.5/10
