Little Manhattan (2005)
Little Manhattan is about an 11-year-old boy falling in love for the first time – with all the awkward clumsiness of inexperienced relationship. It reminds you of the silly way things when we were young.
On a side note, it is set in Manhattan – mostly between West 72nd and 81st streets – seems like the most romantic place in the world

Some quotes:
Gabe: Well, how come all love has to end?
Adam: Let me tell you something about me and your mom. Once upon a time, we really loved each other, but as time went by, there just got to be all these things, little things, stupid things, that were left unsaid. And all these things that were left unsaid piled up, like the clutter in our storage room. And after awhile, there was so much that was left unsaid, that we barely said anything at all.
Gabe: Well, why didn’t you just say them then, dad?
Adam: I don’t know, Gabe. I kind of wish I had.
Gabe: Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. Love isn’t about ridiculous little words. Love is about grand gestures. Love is about airplanes pulling banners over stadiums, proposals on jumbo-trons, giant words in sky writing. Love is about going that extra mile even if it hurts, letting it all hang out there. Love is about finding courage inside of you that you didn’t even know was there.
Gabe: Love is an ugly, terrible business practiced by fools. It’ll trample your heart and leave you bleeding on the floor. And what does it really get you in the end? Nothing but a few incredible memories that you can’t ever shake. The truth is there’s gonna be other girls out there. I mean, I hope, but I’m never gonna get another first love. That one’s always gonna be her.
