Summary: The Best romance movie ever.
Review: This is the best romance movie of 2001 and 2002,How can someone not like this movie. I watched it for the very first time and fell totally in love with it. Shane West and Mandy Moore did a wonderful acting job. They acually made there characters come alive and at the end you felt so sad that these two were just acting and not realy in love. But they were wonderful together.And I must say that I started pulling out the tissues when Jamie started singing to Landon in the spring play and didn't stop untill the movie ended. This Movie Is the best I've seen in a long long time. And I have to give 2 thumbs up to Hollywood for not twisting Jamie Christian morals around.Because I am a christian and I get so tired of seeing movies with Pre-Marriage relations and foul language But this movie didn't have that. So now I have to read the book and hope it was as good as the movie because it was awesome.

Summary: "You're my angel."
Review: I have seen this movie 17 times and I never get sick of it. This is the kind of movie that you can watch over and over and always cry and enjoy the same parts. A Walk to Remember isn't just one of those teen movies. It's a movie that has true meaning and morals. Watch this and it will change a part of you. "... Jamie saved my life. She taught me everything, about life, hope and the long journey ahead. I'll always miss her, but her love is like the wind, I can't see, but I can feel it." - Landon Carter.

Summary: Hello, this is your movie speaking to you...
Review: I didn't mean to make you cry. I thought if I filled your screen with trite crap, you would be able to see it and look past to the brilliance of my adorning Mandy Moore song. I wasn't meant to get into your heart. Now, it's only going to make it harder to break this to you. I'm leaving you. I know you want me in your video collection and up on your list of great tearjerkers of the century, but my life here is short, and I'd rather end it here while I have some dignity. Yes, I care about you and it feels good to see you spill tears over my overly predictable plot and cheap cinematic devices. But I know that you, like everyone else, can't love me for long. I'll just be that movie with the pop singer in it soon, so why don't we let this relationship go now? I know you can do it. Just let go. Maybe someday we'll meet again in the bargain bin and you can remind me of how much you used to love me back in the day....things won't be so simple then and you may have had time to think about all the faults in our relationship that you looked over in the past. But that's OK. We can't control our destinies, but we can lessen the wounds now. Please, do it. For me. For you. For the film-viewing public.

Summary: Squeaky Clean Does NOT Equal Good!
Review: I've been told that 'A Walk to Remember' should be forgiven for its multitude of faults because a)It has a positive Christian message for teens, and b)It's a 'Chick Flick', and, for some reason, that makes leaps of logic somehow acceptable. Personally, both arguments, to me, demean the groups referred to. A good film stands on its own merits; a bad film, and this one is a stinker, should not be rationalized away by saying it's target audience expects less!'A Walk to Remember' opens with the world's most clean-cut 'gang' of overprivledged kids busting into an abandoned warehouse complex at night (shades of 'Footloose'), then daring a kid as a rite of initiation to dive from a tower into a sinkhole of water (shades of 'Breaking Away'). Conned by the charismatic leader (Shane West), the kid jumps, and is badly injured. Naturally, the police immediately arrive, and West is busted, for staying with the kid. As punishment, he is given probation, community service time...and he has to JOIN the DRAMA CLUB!!! (This is PUNISHMENT for nearing KILLING a kid???) In the Drama Club is school geek and Born-Again Christian Mandy Moore, who you can tell is 'The Good Girl' because she carries a Bible, doesn't wear makeup, and is wardrobe-challenged! From her soulful glances at him, and his arrogant smile in reply, you know that True Love is only a few plot-twists away. It takes Opening Night to provide the catalyst, though...apparently, this club doesn't believe in dress rehearsals, because when she walks onstage, in makeup, and a slinky dress with no underwear (one wonders how her minister father approved of THAT!), and sings to West, as the male lead (yes, despite having no acting ability, or experience, he gets the lead in the play), he sees how hot she is for the first time, and falls for her. She warns him NOT to fall in love with her (ah, could there be a secret she's not sharing? DUH!), but he follows her around, anyway, even to the cemetery where she stargazes with her telescope at night. (This sets up one of the most brain-dead scenes of the film; he asks to see Pluto, to which she replies that it doesn't rise until two hours before sunrise. "I'll wait", he says...In reality, Pluto is impossible to see in a small telescope...it wasn't even discovered until 1930, in an amazing piece of detective work...and this supposedly brilliant astronomy hobbyist doesn't know this??? As a Born-Again Christian, you KNOW she wasn't fibbing to get a night alone with West...or was she?) Eventually, Moore collapses, and it is revealed she is dying of cancer (shades of 'Here on Earth'), and, on her deathbed in the hospital, West proposes to her. His estranged doctor father pays to get her Home Care, for her last days...and the next scene, the couple are walking through the woods together, with Moore looking better than ever! (I believe in Love's healing powers, but this is a stretch, even for me!) The couple marry, and share a Summer of Love, before she finally dies (shades of 'Love Story'), and he, redeemed, goes on to ace Medical School (shades of 'Magnificent Obsession'). The acting is uneven, at best; Shane West does a credible job, certainly better than Chris Klein did in the 'Walk' clone, 'Here on Earth'. Peter Coyote, as Moore's minister father, does what he can in a role that seems to have been 'lifted' from John Lithgow's in 'Footloose'. Daryl Hannah, nearly unrecognizable with dark hair, is quite good as West's mother. But the rave reviews Mandy Moore has received as the dying girl seem unjustified; no makeup and stilted line readings do NOT equal a great performance! In order for a film like this to work, you must believe the heroine, and the bittersweet nature of her love. I never got beyond the 'golly, look, Mandy Moore is acting' stage, and her delivery often had me wincing! There ARE some great tearjerkers out there, both classic and contemporary...'A Walk to Remember' is just NOT one of them!

Summary: Oh Please
Review: This movie was way too sappy and predictable. I think the idea of the movie was sweet, but it's already been done and re-done... Though Shane West is undeniably good looking and appealing as the bad boy w/a good heart, the idea of such a character is as fictional as the unicorn. Not to mention, how many movies have the "nerdy" girl that everybody picks on, then voila, she's beautiful, just add make up and a new hair do (I wish it was that easy for me in high school)! I felt the emphasis on Christianity and faith was laid on way too thick. It bordered on preachy. Not to mention they throw in the inevitable tear jerker: "I'm dying...". The movie tried way too hard to tug at heartstrings. I give it an extra star for Landon's classic Camaro.

Summary: awesome
Review: Of course I've heard of Mandy Moore, but I have never even listened to any of her music. I am an avid movie lover and thought this movie would be another singer turned terrible actress. Wrong answer! Not only is Mandy's music awesome in this movie, her performance was incredible. I don't think anyone could have done her character any better. This is a very touching movie. A must see.....this coming from someone who mainly watches action movies. Great job Mandy!!!

Summary: A movie that truly moves the soul
Review: I first read the novel by nicholas sparks, and decided to give the movie a shot. This is one of the few movies that has truly moved me in ways I never imagined. It is nice to finally see a movie which accurately reflects people my age. So many believe teens are only like those seen in the recent crude teen movies. The wonderful acting creates a feeling in the audience as if these two actors are truly in love. It is a refreshing look at first and true love. Anyone and everyone should give this movie a shot. It is incredible! Mandy Moore and Shane West do a wonderful job. Bravo!
