Very disappointing...

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

A very relaxing movie with real understanding of early teenage. Evan Rachel Wood plays a very interesting character with real passion. All the other child actors also did their respective jobs quite satisfactorily. The script is wonderfully written which makes it a perfect early-teen movie without being perky.The ending somehow becomes a little too predictable and the story should have included more of Emily's darker side of nature. But I understand this film to be watched mostly by much younger audience, so I guess it's better to keep her character such near-perfect. In the end, the movie is definitely pleasant and relaxing to watch.

It may be the first time we are seeing a film without any fights and sex. Really it is film about love and full of love. We envy that world. Actually it is world of our dreams, a world of love. We congratulate the story maker and directer for this wonderful film.We think the script, direction and acting was really good.We think that this kind of love films are a necessary divertion in this world of religious hatred and violence.We never expected such a film from Hollywood. We usually see such good films on French TV. Here our Bollywood is an evil place producing 100s of filthy movies every month. We love to see such films.

Refreshingly different from the usual young teen fare. A 14-year-old girl has goals and focus on a classical music career and, while living a fairly normal teen life.There are many little secrets to be revealed throughout the course of the film. An interesting gimmick that adds to the charm and interest.**SPOILER ALERT** The ending is a bit of a disconnect. The real hero, 12-year-old Phillip, should have gotten the girl at the end. The director dismisses this outcome in the DVD commentary as "implausible." Why? A 12-year-old seventh grader being attracted to a 14-year-old 8th or 9th grader? What's so implausible about that? We see little of the (15-year-old) older brother character to motivate any sense of connection,The film manages to overcome the 'Afterschool Special' formula with some good photography and a good dramatic score. We are mostly spared monotonous rap music or the teen pop score that would be the norm in this kind of film. The morality lessons are nicely underplayed. The film could have been improved by focusing more on the love triangle and not getting so distracted with most of sub-plots.
