Yes, I think his sell-by date was 31 December 1989. AUW: James who? I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about. *shiverrrrr* Lillipilli: Yeah, chick, me too. Hence the attitude. ;) Jess: Small town girl: check. Big dreams: check. Anguished attraction: check, check, CHECK! Jim Murdoch: American actor, probably most popular with females that came of age at some point during the 80's. But you're right, that's not nearly as important as the emotions and images provoked by the collision. Thanks for confirming that it comes across. Peach: How I wish I had that problem. Andy Mac: Don't worry, lover. You're off the hook now I know which line James Spader travels on. Clarissa: Ha. Yes, I think his sell-by date was 31 December 1989.

Please stop standing outside my house twenty-four hours a day. And I'm also calling the police about the wilful damage to my car: 'I LUV U ANDY MAC' written in lipstick on my windscreen. I know it was you. Look, for the last time - I’ve never met you and I don’t know who you are. Please stop standing outside my house twenty-four hours a day.

What I like about the story is how the character metamorphs in the narrator's head so that when she interacts with him she responds to the imagined person as opposed to the real one. Nicely done.

Of course, you probably wouldn't cry over the movie if you (a) had never been a small town girl dreaming of something bigger, and (b) had never experienced an anguished mutual attraction situation with one of your young high school teachers. I highly recommend the movie anyway. If you want to watch something with quintessential Canadian humour. Andy Mac made me cry in a Canadian movie called New Waterford Girl.
