Quotes:

Justin: We need to talk.
Kelly: I have nothing to say to you.
Justin: Why are you being like this?
Kelly: What am I suppose to be like after what you've done?
Justin: What I did?
Kelly: You came on to her! Or should I reenact it for you? It's probably the same little show you put on for me, expect without a boat. I should've believed what everybody said about you in the first place.
Justin: I meant everything I said. And I didn't come on to her. She came on to me.
Kelly: Really? Why would she do that?
Justin: To break us up, Kelly! Listen, if anybody's gonna be mad around here, it should be me. You've been hot and cold. First you're blowing me off, and then you're leaving me these messages.
Kelly: What messages?

I can't believe I watched it.

I was forced to go see this with a friend for her birthday. I knew it would be dumb but thought that it would at least be something to laugh at. It was one of those rare movies that is too bad even for perverse entertainment. As it began I thought well the story will be stupid but maybe it will have good songs. The songs were the worst part! The transitions into these musical numbers were so awkward. And the songs themselves were not remotely entertaining. Kelly comes off as likable in the movie but I grew to despise every other character in the space of 15 minutes. I don't see this becoming a cult classic. It also made me feel relieved that I never went to Florida for Spring Break. Kelly Clarkson is a sweet girl but she should stick to singing and get a new agent.
