Summary: Heart-warming & Heartbreaking
Review: Although I may only be a young adult, the emotions of this movie really show through. It would be amazing in real life to find someone this special and have the relationship that Landon and Jamie have in the movie. This is more then the written words and acting, it's about what you feel inside. Its not cheesy like other movies you may have seen. I think that no matter how many times I watch this movie- I will never stop liking it.
It is truly amazing.
To all the people that haven't seen this movie-go see it, it will change your way of living.

Summary: SURPRISE OF THE YEAR!!
Review: You can keep BRITNEY & CHRISTINA -- MANDY MOORE is probably the best all-around young entertainer on the scene! Like most adults who've been surprised by this flick, my neice forced me to watch it for the first time and it was a TERRIFIC FILM .. .. Not your usual, campy melo-teen drama at all, this film really strikes a cord in you (as the cast said in their DVD commentaries) .. .. The film is VERY ENJOYABLE (perhaps, especially for the over 30 crowd)and the SOUNDTRACK is a keeper for those still 16 at heart .. .. Amazingly, the before mentioned DVD COMMENTARIES just affirms how mature and well-spoken Ms. Mandy is .. .. You'll see how important the film was to the cast and crews life after they made it! Most people will look over the film when in their video store, but PLEASE DON'T .. .. GET IT - YA WON'T REGRET IT!!

Summary: WOW- a great movie!
Review: Hey guys! Well, if you are debating to see "A Walk to Remember" or not, you need to! I'm just 12 years old. I'm not into real mushy stuff... but I thought it was great. I am a Christian, so I thought that this movie not only reached out with how cute it was, but a good-firm-Christian background. It wasn't all about God, in fact, that was just a minor detail. But, I loved Jamie. She had so much faith in everything she did. Then comes Landon. This screw-up popular kid. It's so cool that he gets in trouble and has to do everything she participates in. So, they hook up! I loved it that he really got into her and didn't care if she was a loser. Go see it! I loved it!

Summary: Very well done!
Review: Of late when friends ask me, "what do you think of the movie". I hear myself going, "hmmm, it's okey". And that's it. But this is not so with the "the Walk...". First off, I love Shane West. Here is one young actor who can actually ACT. Second, I have not read many of Nicholas Spark's work but I appreciated the Message in the Bottle. Third, I do not dig Mandy Moore's songs.
So, imagine my surprise with "the Walk". It was INDEED a well-crafted movie (but you must skip the commentary feature). The players succeeded, beyond doubt, in conveying what life's journey is mostly about and what you can get out of it. Why do I like it? Let me count some moments...
1) I positively liked that Landon did not abandon his injured friend and took the punishment in behalf of the group with grace. To me it says, it might be cool to be a bad-ass but it is definitely more cool to be a responsible bad-ass.
2) I positively liked Jamie being gracious to that false compliment on the jacket. In this day and age, it is SO easy to be bitchy, but it is AWFULLY hard to be gracious.
3) I like the level of commitment between the two young people - particularly on Landon's part. This kind of "come-hail-and-high-water" kind of commitment is becoming rare among grown-ups and even rarer among the young. Most would ask, "why, what's the point? Exactly.
4) I like the quality friendship between Eric and Landon - such sensitivity and sincerity.
5) I like all the parents in the movie - they've conveyed long-forgotten values. Daryl H. teaching Landon to dance (gentleness). The Reverend reminding Jamie to be true to her values (commitment). Landon asking the Reverend for permission (respect). Landon's father trying hard to reach out to his son (don't give up on those you care about).
6) I like that the journey, difficult as it was culminating in Mandy's death, did not leave footprints of bitterness to the survivors but faith, hope and love instead. No hanging ending on this one: Landon gives it to you in the last scene.
Gosh, I can go on and on...
So I cried silly during the movie - over 30 minutes! I ended having a massive headache and bags under my eyes (eww!!!). But every time I think of the scenes, the dialogues I feel good about "the Walk". I also know that I will be literally making "the Walk" many times over - the DVD is now in my collection. Two thumbs up - Shane you are good!

Summary: Unlikely to forget "A Walk to Remember"
Review: "A Walk to Remember " is not your typical teen movie. Based on the best-selling novel of the same title by Nicholas Sparks, "A Walk to Remember" tells the bittersweet story of first love with a maturity not often found in adult on-screen relationships. The compelling screen presence of the film's leads, Mandy Moore and Shane West, is a result of the charisma and chemistry between the actors.
The film opens in Beaufort, North Carolina, with a tense scene at the town's cement factory. West's character, wealthy and popular Landon Carter, and his group of "friends" dare a wanna-be clique member to jump from a platform into the murky water below. The diver is injured and Landon is left alone to suffer the consequences after a failed attempt at escape. Landon's punishment for the accident is far from hard time. He is ordered to tutor children on weekends, and, strangely enough, forced to participate in the school's annual musical. This is all in hope that exposure to other activities will help Landon reform his rebellious ways. The authorities, of course, never take into consideration that his rebellion may be a result of a lack of male role model in his life. His father, a cardiologist, is not an active part of Landon's life since divorcing Landon's mother.
It is during rehearsals that Landon is "introduced" to Moore's character, Jamie Sullivan, despite having known her his entire life. Jamie is the motherless daughter of Beaufort's Baptist minister. Dressed in horribly outdated clothing without a speck of make-up, and entirely unafraid to express her faith, Jamie is hardly the type of girl ultra-cool Landon would associate with by choice. Jamie even tutors for fun-imagine that!
Landon finds himself spending more and more time with Jamie outside of school. During school hours, however, Landon must keep his distance in order to save his reputation. It is at opening night of the school play when Landon sees Jamie in a whole new light; okay, let's be honest-it had to be the dress. It also could have been Jamie's mesmerizing, angelic sounding solo. Jamie's physical transformation helps Landon become aware of the new feelings Jamie stirs inside him. This may sound superficial, but, strangely enough, it's not portrayed as such. Jamie's wardrobe improvements don't last through the night, but Landon's feelings persist. He even finds himself defending her honour in the school cafeteria-something his "friends" are unlikely to let him live down.
Gradually the two find themselves falling in love, despite Jamie's initial insistence that Landon not fall for her. Each opens up the other's world to new experiences. At this point in the film you know that such sweet happiness cannot last. You can sense tragedy waiting without knowing why you feel that way. While watching the film you yearn for a happy ending while thinking, at the same time, the film wouldn't be complete with one.
The tear-jerking curve ball is certainly typical of author Nicholas Sparks. While screenwriter Karen Janszen doesn't follow the novel exactly, the audience is able to understand the basic story. Adam Shankman, who also directed last year's big screen blockbuster "The Wedding Planner," starring Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey, directs the pair to an outstanding performance. The supporting roles of Landon's mother, played by a horribly brunette Darryl Hannah, and Peter Coyote's role of Reverend Sullivan add familliarity to a talented, young cast.
My verdict: if you're looking for an action-packed thriller, don't go see this film. On the other hand, if you're looking for a wonderfully heart-warming story or, if you're a parent whose kids are looking to see a flick, this is the film to choose. In the often less than G-rated Hollywood film industry, "A Walk to Remember" is truly a gem. My advice: bring tissues; "A Walk to Remember" isn't easy to forget. Its effects will last beyond the closing credits.

Summary: mandy moore is a good actress
Review: I've just watched "a walk to remember". The plot is predictable, but mandy moore is great. I liked the soundtrack, especially mandy's songs, and also some dialogues. The movie is about teenage love happening where it is least expected. Mandy Moore plays Jamie, the daughter of a preacher, who is a total nerd. Shane West is the cool guy, who gets involved in a practical joke with a new student and is punished with community services. After some resistence, they fall in love and everything seems to be perfect until the movie changes completely. The DVD has only a few extra material and I hoped it had interviews with the cast and a making-off. Anyway, the DVD comes with the video "Cry" from mandy moore, which is good. This is actually a good movie and deserves to be watched.
