Rating: Summary: A Movie to Warm Your Heart! Review: "Wow". That's about all I could muster at the end of the movie (embarrassingly, between a flood of tears - after all, a guy isn't allowed to cry, right?) I must admit - my skepticism was extremely high upon first hearing about this movie. I queried myself as to the necessity of watching yet another "teenage love story". However, upon a friend's recommendation, I decided to give it a go, and realized that I had actually come close to making a terribly big mistake in my life had I not watched it. The movie was simply INCREDIBLE!Shane West does an excellent portrayal of High School bad boy Landon, and his desire to be popular and cool will surely strike a chord in many of our hearts. After all, during our precocious teenage years, there are arguably few things that are more important than being cool and universally liked by peers. One's self esteem is invariably tied with how others perceive us. And so that is how Landon is, until he meets sweet Jamie Sullivan, the local preacher's daughter played by beautiful Mandy Moore. Moore lends her character a huge amount of depth and surrounds her with an innocent, heartwarming aura, so much so that by the end of the movie, she can do no wrong. In addition, the movie is littered with many fabulous songs that are sung by none other than Moore's beautiful voice. One piece that stands out is "Only Hope", a beautiful song that will have your optical water droplets rolling out on more than one occasion. Another great tune that will get your good feelings swirling is "Someday We'll Know". As you watch their relationship blossom throughout the movie, your own feelings are inextricably linked and you find yourself cheering the couple on, marveling at their sweet times spent together and secretly envious of the intense love that they have discovered. For guys, I warn you - Jamie is so incredibly pure and unselfish that she will have your hearts fluttering by the end of the movie. As for Landon, he will no doubt reside in many girls' dreams for months to come, and he demonstrates a type of love that transcends ordinary levels, completing Jamie's life in each and every way. He shows her a love that she has not experienced before, and she helps him to discover himself and fills him with a desire to achieve higher things in life. There is a lot of hidden depth, and even when Landon fulfils Jamie's first and foremost desire (which I shall not reveal for those that have not seen the movie), he says it in such an unselfish way that it evokes true admiration of his love for her. By being together, they have both achieved things that were previously not possible. By the end of the movie, the viewer's faith in love and everything pure and good is restored to unshakeable heights. Love is truly the most powerful emotion known to mankind, and this heartwarming story reminds us that despite the challenges we face on a daily basis, there are things in life that make the experience truly worth it. To be able to witness the kind of love that Jamie and Landon shared is truly unforgettable, and as Landon says during the movie, "We had more happiness than most people experience in a lifetime." A Walk to Remember is a truly moving story that urges us to have faith in true love and to cherish all the wonderful things that we have in our lives.
Rating: Summary: Romantic But Sad Review: This has been the best movies I've ever seen. I've watched times now and cried each time. This movie would be great to share with you tteen because of the hidden message which is "Not To Give In To Peer Pressure". This is the first movie that Mandy Moore has acted in and hope she is in more films like this down the road. I would recommend this movie to all parents with teens. It is an excellent date and cuddle movie.
Rating: Summary: Highly Underrated Review: AWTR could quite possibly be my favorite movie of all time. Now, I'm not usually one to like sappy teen flicks, but this movie is in a genre all of it's own. It's a beautiful love story, and everything about it is phenomenal, especially the acting. Before I saw this movie, I used to despise Mandy Moore, but she portrays Jamie perfectly. Shane West is an amazing young actor, and I look forward to seeing a lot more of him. I could watch it everyday. And I still cry everytime I see it! Only complaint: I wish there were more on the DVD, like deleted scenes. Other than that, you can't go wrong with this amazing film.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Movie Review: The movie makes you think about life and how fleeting it is. Mandy Moore and Shawn West have a lot of chemistry and the movie is sad, but very inspiring. One of the best movies of 2002. I've seen it over six times and it doesn't bore me. The soundtrack is excellent too.
Rating: Summary: Surprisingly good movie for a pop princess Review: OK, OK...so I WAS one of the skeptics who questioned the choice of Mandy Moore for the lead role of Jamie Sullivan in the movie adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel. However, now that I have seen the movie, I must say that she isn't half bad. Everyone must know the story by now...she's the daughter of a preacher. He's the bad kid off the street. They fall in love, she has a terminal illness...incredible sweetness ensues. But, this movie isn't your typical teen movie of today. The characters are real...OK, not really, but they try...and are rough around the edges. Shane West does an awesome job playing Moore's love interest; his portrayal actually got me wanting him as my boyfriend. He does EVERYTHING for Moore's character...my boyfriend wouldn't make ME a telescope if I had a terminal illness. ;p This is the perfect movie for the hopeless romantic. Not chick-flicky like "Two Weeks Notice". It's a bittersweet story of the kind of redemption, devotion, and compassion that SHOULD be.
Rating: Summary: wonderful Review: I just got done watching this movie for the first time, and it was absolutely amazing. Not only did the movie itself bring me to tears, but the music touched me as well. Mandy Moore and Shane West were wonderful, and they really made their relationship so believable. Everyone should watch this movie, becuase it is really inspiring. -Brandy
Rating: Summary: A Walk to Remember Forever Review: I absolutely love this movie! Shane West is gorgeous and Mandy Moore is a doll! Together, these two actors portray what true love really is and ought to be. Nicholas Sparks must be proud of the way these two captured the very essence of Jamie and Landon. Every time I see it I am filled with the same wonderful emotions I felt the first time I watched it... This movie could move a moutain!
Rating: Summary: It's an Awesome Movie. Review: Well this movie was sort of a surprise. I was expecting the same old, same old, but this movie actually moved me. The acting is excellent with Shane West (Once and Again) playing Landon who is a little wild. When one of his pranks hurts another student he is made to join the drama club and tutor younger children. This is where he meets Jamie played by Mandy Moore. This movie is great and will effect the viewer in many different ways. Your a fool if you don't watch this movie at least once.
Rating: Summary: Walk to Remember... the best movie ever!! Review: I loved Walk To Remember! It is my absolute favorite movie! Shane West and Mandy Moore did a great job. Although it wasnt exactly like the book by Nicholas Sparks, it was just as amazing! Shane West is the best!! Mandy Moore was fantastic also! This is one of the best, yet saddest, movies you will probably ever see! I recomend this to anyone who enjoys a tear-jerker.
