Sooner or Later is the movie. The singer is Rex Smith and the
girl none other than Denise Miller. Rex Smith also did an album of the songs featured in the movie.

Answer 2

this doesn't really count but i read the green mile series when i was pretty young and said that of all his books, this is one that should be made into a movie... and then a couple years later they did but i still haven't seen it. i am ashamed to say that i didn't read harry potter until after i saw the first movie. now it is my most beloved book, i reread all the time, especially when i'm going through a rough time cuz it is always good and within a page i am absorbed and forget anything that is going on in my real life. with lotr, i saw the first movie and HATED it. then i read the hobbit (possibly not until after the second movie). once i read the hobbit, i liked the movies a lot a lot. i didn't read the trilogy until about a year and a half ago and i'm glad i saw the movies first because i love the books and would have been annoyed with some of the discrepencies if the movie hadn't been what i came to know originally. i'm listening to the da vinci code on tape now, though i wanted to read it before it became a movie i am just now getting around to it. i didn't love the movie but i'm liking listening to the audio book a lot. i just read inkheart and inkspell and shortly after finishing them i learned that inkheart is now in preproduction to become a movie.
