Ratings and reviews

Solid 3.5 ⭐ for me. Though the film had some obvious shortcomings I ended up pleasantly enjoying the main characters journey and the build up romance. Best performer is easily the sheriff who is easily hateable.

I've paid for the rent but it doesn't wanna play. It keeps saying connection error and please try again. But it never works. Return me my 6 bucks!

And Zac Efron does an awesome job in this lead role! He's actually got talent! (she's good too, he just surprised me)
