Their differing social statures leave them worlds apart, despite their close physical proximity. At these functions he is forced to interact with quiet and religious, bookish Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore), a girl he has known for many years but to whom he has rarely ever spoken. His punishment is mandatory participation in various after-school activities, such as tutoring disadvantaged children and performing in the drama club's spring musical. Everything goes wrong the student finishes in a hospital with serious injuries, and popular but rebellious Landon Carter (Shane West) is threatened with expulsion. The story in the novel is set in the 1950s while the film is set in 1998, and it starts with a prank from a group of "cool" teenagers on a fellow high-school student, Clay Gephardt. The film stars Shane West and Mandy Moore, and was directed by Adam Shankman. This movie was recommended to me recently as a new Love Story, but after watching it I have to say that this coming-of-age teen romantic melodrama based on the 1999 romance novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks, was a big disappointment.
