Summary: I laughed, I cried....cried some more
Review: This was seriously the BEST MOVIE EVER!!! Everyone in the audience was bawling. I don't think I've cried so much during a movie in my life. I didn't even cry that much for Titanic! I strongly recommend seeing this movie. And for those of you who are a little concerned with a pop star being in a movie..save it for the new Britney Spears one because Mandy Moore rocked in this movie!!

Summary: Amazing Movie!
Review: Let's be honest! My friend wanted to see the movie because of Shane West (oh my god he is hott!). I was fine with it. After I saw it i couldn't believe that a 'teenie-booper' movie was that great! I was amazed. The Trailers give nothing was. The trailers are a little misleading. I was crying for atlest 30 minutes during the movie.

Shane West(Landen) who is amazing on 'Once and Again' gave a perfect preformance. They couldn't have picked a better man for the job.

Mandy Moore(Jamie) was outstanding. She really gave 110% to become her character. Her singing isn't to bad either (kidding! shes great)

When the movie first started I was a little disapointed because I figured another teen movie. Then about twenty minutes later I figured it was going to be an execelent film. I watched it twice already and cried both times. It's a must see!

My favorite scene (well i love the whole movie but if I have to say)

Landen- I might kiss you
Jamie- I might be bad at it

Landen- thats not possible!

Funniest Part-
Eric- If Jesus is so giving why hasnt he found you a new sweater?
Jamie- Because he was to busy looking for your brian!

Saddest Part: When Landen first crys! It'll melt your heart!

Summary: A Movie To Remember
Review: This is perhaps the greatest romantic movie of all time; not only is it romantic its the greatest love story ever told. I read the book when it first came out and as much as I loved the book the movie was that much better; Shane West and Mandy Moore really bring out the characters in this truly heat-beating epic of a movie. I recommend this to anyone that needs there heart touched...I know it touched mine.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Walk I Would Like to Remember
Review: I loved the book so it was no suprise that the movie was almost as good. I myself wish that I could experience so much love in my lifetime. This film made me want to be a better person and make something of myself before I run out of time. This movie is not only moving but pulls at your heartstrings as well.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not quite unforgettable, yet not easily forgotten.
Review: I pretty much knew what to expect from "A Walk to Remember," the latest in a long line of various romance dramas in which a popular boy meets and falls in love with an ugly-duckling girl who's not so ugly at all. The movie leaves no cliché unturned, no familiar plot development in the shadows, leaving almost nothing to the element of surprise. What I didn't expect from the experience was just how much I actually enjoyed every minute of this light, airy teen romance, despite its high predictability factor.

The movie begins somewhat awkwardly by introducing us to a scene in which a group of teenagers have met to initiate a hopeful candidate into their circle of friends. When the boy is injured, one of the boys, Landon Carter (Shane West), stays behind to help him, only to be picked up by the police while trying to flee the scene. We soon learn that his rebellion streak stems from the absence of his father, who left his mother years ago; Landon, of course, resents him wholeheartedly. At school, he finds solace in his status and popularity, although the punishment of tutoring duties, a part in the drama play, and janitorial service as a result of his actions cramp his style.

And then he meets Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore), the girl who has been in all of his classes for years and has been the target of wisecracks and put-downs for much of her life. At first, he is resentful of her coming up to him, but he soon finds himself asking her for help with his lines in the play. To his surprise, Jamie is not like other girls who would normally mind being insulted in public and treated nicely in private; the more she strays from his behavior, the more he is compelled to change his attitude and ways.

As the previews have told us, they will fall in love, much to the dismay and scorn of Landon's pals and ex-girlfriend, who cooks up a revenge plot that proves Landon's devotion to his new love. As the story moves on, revelations will be made, characters will reconcile, and everything will follow a distinct path that has been the outline for many a romantic drama in the past.

But who's to say that predictability can't be a good thing once in a while? As a critic, I admit the movie is nowhere near the realm of originality; as a romantic at heart, I found the movie to be a wonderful new spin on the old tricks of the genre, with some moments of delightful humor, and instances that are touching and filled with real emotion. The dialogue seems to have been polished to a brilliant new shine, however worn it may be, while the romance and teenage love aspects of the plot prove that the love story still has some kick left in it.

The movie benefits greatly from its two talented leads, Moore and West, who prove their acting worth with great performances. Moore, in her second movie role (she played the prissy cheerleader in last year's "The Princess Diaries"), embodies Jamie with a real sense of innocent charm and Christian faith, while West convinces us that Landon has undergone a change of heart and mind through his love for Jamie. The two share a chemistry and warmth that makes us believe in the movie's message of love winning over all, making the old seem refreshingly new. Among the supporting cast are Daryl Hannah as Landon's supportive mother, and Peter Coyote in an exceptionally well-done performance as Reverend Sullivan.

One could go so far as to say that "A Walk to Remember" easily resembles Moore's singing career: each one is far from being original, but they still manage to entertain in all the right ways. As a tale of realization and awakening amidst backdrop of love, the movie follows all the rules, resulting in little more than pure corn syrup that goes down easier than you'd first expect. It's not exactly unforgettable, yet it's not so quickly forgotten.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A real teen romance that can move any heart
Review: I have been psyched for this movie since I saw the trailer in a movie that came out 2 months before "A Walk To Remember" did. I was obsessed with it, viewing it's trailer and reading the book.

I can say for sure that this movie didn't disappoint my two month wait. Even though I knew what was going to happen before it actually happened, I still thought this movie moved my heart.

There are two types of people when watching this. One is classified as loving it, crying or moved by the romance between Landon Carter (Shane West) and Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore). The other type is thinking this movie is way to mushy mushy with it's love. I must admit I was the kind of person that loved the movie and nearly cried.

The only thing I would say disturbed me was Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) didn't look the character at the end, having being in her situation. I read the book and pictured her more weak and the "walk" at the end would be more slow and hard to do for her. (Sorry if I ruined the movie for some people.)

Some parts I thought were more memorable was the part in the play where Landon Carter (Shane West) says Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) was beautiful and that if she could sing for him. Another part is when he proposed (yes he proposes). People sitting near me in the theater heard me gasping before he actually did it. It's because I know what would happen, due to the wonderful book by Nicholas Sparks. The sweetest thing I thought was when Landon Carter (Shane West) helped Jamie (Mandy Moore) fulfill the wishes she had on her "list". First having her in two places at once, giving her a tattoo, and allowing her to see into the night sky with the "telescope". I must say, Mandy Moore and Shane West made a great couple and had great chemistry. (Eye-candy!)

Overall, this movie would make a great date movie or just a great hangout movie. I must warn you, do bring tissue, especially those girls wearing mascara! Believe me, I know.

Rating: 4 stars
