it's not a movie that "got a message so strong that is going to stay with me for many years" but I enjoyed the movie overall, both performances and the message. One of the things I also liked about it was that everything appeared to be real - what Miles and Shailene had been through in their relationship and families. And once again Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber proved that just like 500 days of Summer, a movie doesn't have to have a "lived happily ever after" to be a happy and satisfying ending. Still, it's a great movie to watch. It's not perfect, and has a few little things with the alcohol element to the film that felt out of place but its real and honest and that's so rare to find in a teenage story like this
