Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Could have been better,
My friend had recommended watching this movie to me a while ago, so I finally did. All in all it wasn't bad but the twist came too soon in the plot and 2/3 of the movie was lost because of it. However I did enjoy Piper Perabo's character because it was really the only main character with A personality. Mischa Barton's portrayal of Mary "Mouse" Bedford was good but sometimes it was a little "wtf" (see the narration). Teens will relate and probably get a bigger kick out of it than not. I actually did cry because most of the movie was quite sad, but there needed to be more PLOT, had there been this might have been on my all-time Top 10 list.
Rating:  - One of the best
True, it's one of the best lesbian movie out there, it gave me a good laugh and brought me to tear at the same time. This movie is simply so beautiful, I felt in love with Paulie without realize it, she's such a prince, fighting hopelessly for her princess. I would love to watch it over and over, a good movie for both straight and gay person.
Rating: - Soaring romanticism and heartbreak of first love
Girls, boarding school and an illicit affiar....all the stuff of a potentially intriguing, if not original, story. But in fact, this little gem had a lot of surprises. It's at heart a tale about fitting in (or not) and the emotional toll of that. Something that every teenager has to come to terms with. And perhaps closeted gay teens more so than many others. This film captures the soaring romanticism of first love and the descent into craziness when it doesn't work out, when everything you wanted to believe about love is first shown to be an illusion--or worse, a fraud. The character of Paulie is riveting--she's a messy, damaged, romantic trainwreck. Tory is a heartbreaker who feels she's in a no-win situation and stumbles through it with unintended cruelty. And in her friendship with the two, the aptly-nicknamed Mouse finds a bit of herself. This is a film that's painted in big emotional brush-strokes that push the bounds of believability and yet somehow get the ardour and heartache of first love down pat. My only wish is that more attention had been given to developing Mouse. In this story, she serves as observer/narrator, and with the exception of a few excellent scenes (one is when Mouse, Tory and Paulie receite the letters they wish they could write their mothers), she truly disappears into the woodwork. As it is, though, Mischa Barton's Mouse is a perfect observer: wide-eyed, smart, curious and extremely perceptive. She sees what none of the other characters in their personal blindness can: ...

Rating: - Very Real To Me
This movie hits really close to home for me being that I was in the same situation a few years ago. The acting is surprisingly genuine. The moment that Tory realizes that she just betrayed the love of her life after telling her younger sister that Paulie has a thing for her and that she is not "like that" and she bursts into tears...it seemed very genuine. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. It's obviously a relevant topic and source of conflict that many people can relate to. I like the movie "Imagine Me & You", but Piper's acting was a lot better in this film.
Rating: - Lost and Delirious
An incredible, very moving and believable, love story between two young girls. Extremely well acted with a somewhat over melodramatic ending. A must see that will leave your heart broken and teary-eyed.
