In Jean Vigo`s romantic, slyly humorous masterpiece, Juliette (Dita Parlo), a naove village girl, marries Jean (Jean Daste), the captain of the river barge, L`Atalante, in order to see the world. Their marriage is plagued early on by Juliette`s doubts, and by Jean`s reluctance to let his beautiful wife explore their ports of call. The marital strain reaches the breaking point with the interference of eccentric, worldly bargeman, Pere Jules (Michel Simon), and a handsome traveling entertainer (Gilles Margaritis). Will Juliette chose the lights of Paris over her life with Jean on L`Atalante?

Being a teenager is hard enough without having to deal with your parents` divorce, your sister`s wedding, your best friend`s pregnancy, and the death of a friend. And falling in love for the first time? That only makes everything harder. At least that`s what 17-year-old Halley Martin (Mandy Moore) discovers during her junior year in high school. A confirmed skeptic on love after dealing with her parent`s divorce, Halley doesn`t understand how her best friend, Scarlett (Alexandra Holden) can suddenly be head over heels for her first serious boyfriend. Or, for that matter, how her older sister, Ashley (Mary Catherine Garrison), can marry stuffy Lewis (Mackenzie Austin) when they seem to disagree all the time. But when her friendship with a quirky schoolmate, Macon Forrester (Trent Ford), ultimately blossoms into romance, Halley suddenly has to reconsider everything she thought to be true about love. Allison Janney stars as Lydia, Halley`s mom, a new divorcee dealing with being dumped for a younger woman by her ultra-hip DJ husband, Len (Peter Gallagher). Clare Kilner (JANICE BEARD: 45 WORDS PER MINUTE) is the director of this coming of age tale.
