I really enjoyed this movie. I think it's sweet and the ending was what everyone hoped for. At certain points I thought that they could've chosen better soundtracks. I mean they talk abolut loving Hip Hop, Rap, and R&B. So I wouldve thought there would have been more of that in the soundtrack. Sweet ... movie. Something for everyone. And the outfits are teaaaaaa. so good.
