MOVIE REVIEWS

Too Young to Love

On Friday, my friend Naomi and I hung out together. We had a very good time. We saw a great old movie at the Cineplex. They are showing old movies all month. Did anyone see "Too Young to Love"? I loved it! It's a story about two young people who are in love. Their parents think they are to young, so they can't get married. It's not a sad movie. It's really funny! We laughed a lot.
