Stateside has some lopsided storytelling techniques, but emotionally it will get you home.

Good film about two young people who have a lot to overcome before they can be together, told without romantic sentimentality, but very effectively.

This movie is now on my (short) favorite movie of all time list. Johnathan Tucker and Rachael Leigh Cook are delightful as two lost souls who find completion in each other. A modern day Romeo and Juliet - but with a very different ending. Val Kilmer was terrific as the hazzing drill sargent. Ladies, this movie is proof that you should not listen to critics! What do they know about romance! Personally, I'm going to be watching this one again and again.
