A phenomenal movie I loved everything about it in my perspective. I love movies that make me cry for 30 minutes and this was the right movie to watch it was such a heartfelt movie on how Dani and Court meet in a pond and they go there almost everyday together and in the movie I got so mad when Court went out with Maureen, Dani’s older sister and when Dani didn’t get to see him before he Died that made me cry so hard. And all I could think of in the end was that if Maureen never came home that night with the groceries Court would have never spent the night with her outside Court would have never leaned over to grab his hat and he would have never fell off that tractor and died so from now on I hate Maureen so much and she should have stuck to sister code and never got involved with Dani and Court that is what I think of the movie.
