A Walk to Remember

Summary: Finally, an enjoyable teen movie!
Review: I am probably the biggest anti-teen movie critic out there. From American Pie, to Scary Movie, to the horrid She's all that, I hate teen movies, usually because they try to be cute, and funny when they're really not. It's amazing to think that I was 18 only four years ago, and four years ago I probably would have had a completely different out look on teen movies. It is with the anti-teen movie mindset that I set out to avoid this movie like a plague despite my sisters begging me to see it.
Now that it came to DVD, and my sister wanted me to see it so bad she bought it just so I could see it I felt obligated to watch this movie. To be honest I'm pretty hard to get emotional with a movie, but this film nearly succeeded in making me cry. It was so very good that I've picked up my own copy, the first ever-teen movie to be added to my 200 plus DVD collection, and thus somewhat of a milestone for me.
Although the film does follow some stereotypes of a romance story I noticed the "jerk goes nice guy" but was the only stereotypical element of this story, and even though Landen (West) was a complete jerk at first he was still somewhat likeable. Me? I would have been Chasing Jamie (Subtle movie reference, sorry) from the get go because she was a very loveable character from the beginning. Normal, not a super model like what is normal of romance films, just a cute girl next-door type.
Another aspect of this film that I liked is its refusal to divulge into inappropriate content. Jamie (Moore) starts the movie out as a faithful religious girl and ends the movie the same way, unlike other films I've seen, many of which featuring the exact opposite of this character, the "good girl gone bad" routine is tiresome, but nowhere in this film.
Language is clean, characters down to earth and normal, with everything about this story seeming much more realistic, and much less superficial than many romance movies I have suffered through. I'm not a fan of romance movies as they are often formulaic, and stale, but this was definitely a huge breath of fresh air to the genre, as it is definitely a beautiful movie that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Plus it's made a Mandy fan of me. Now to hunt down the rest of her CDs...

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I really liked this movie. I am 12 years old and this movie really made me cry. I read the book before I saw the movie. Since the book made me cry I knew that the movie would too. I think they picked the right actors and actresses for this movie. I love the songs that Mandy Moore sings in this movie. Especially "Only Hope" and "Cry". Nicholas Sparks really knows how to pull at your heart strings. Its a great movie!! I give it a 2 thumbs up!!

Summary: Someone get this script an IV I think its gone into a COMA!
Review: ...Everything from the highlighted morals, right down to the lollipop characters, were strait out of a fictitious world where black cats don't cross anyones path, and no one is late on a car payment. first of all the star (Mandy Moore) could'nt act like she had a headache, even if she drank a 5th of tequila the night before! "Let this movie be a lesson for thoughs young singers who want to be actresses or actors!" Second the story had too many holes in it. exp: In the beginning Shane West makes it clear that he and his ex-girlfriend are in fact not a couple any longer, and throughout the entire movie he points it out, BUT he never explains why! Totaly cool this chick was to Shane, but not once did he give a valid reason! And third, the movie refers to Christian morals as some sort of standard (AND SINCE I KNOW YOUR GOING TO EDIT THIS, TELL ME WHY I CANT USE THE WORD "PREACHY"?)... Is the director trying to say "that in order for us to be a good person, is for us to belive in God, and go to church?" Definetly not needed to get a bleap'n point across the movie! Save your cash on a decent movie...

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I'm an 18 year old guy who is into comedy and action movies. I'm the usual skater guy, a tough guy. I have never enjoyed a chick flick in my life, until I saw this movie. I actually cried during this movie, which is unusual for me to do. A sad story, but an even happier one because it shows that its better to love than not to love at all. Everybody and anybody should see this movie, it's great! Plus SHane West listens to OneSideZero on his headphones when he is on the bus. An awesome band! Also Cold's song No One is in the movie. Good Music!

Summary: review
Review: The movie was really good, but the special features were a bit disapointing. The movie was very intresting to watch. The commentaries were funny and entertaining but their doesn't seem to be a lot of features. This dvd should have had deleted scenes after all there were about 36 (mentioned in one of the commentarys), or a featurette.

Summary: I'll Always Remember...
Review: This movie is one of my favorites.Mandy and Shane did a great job.I,much like meny other people,read the book before seeing the movie.I loved both.But I did get mad over the part where Jamie gives Landon the book and says,"Don't worry,it's not a Bible.",but that is what it is in the book.Anyway,I loved this movie.If you're crazy about tha "Candy" singer or in love with "Once and Again" star then get this movie.Plus for the Mandy fans you get the music video"Cry".

Summary: Absolutely Amazing! Bring a box of tissues!
Review: This movie expresses so much more then I thought. At first I wasn't so sure because it doesnt start all lovey dovey and stuff. This movie is about people finding themselves and finding eachother and true love and faith. Half the time you'll be crying for good reasons and for sad reasons. Bring a box of tissues and watch it with someone you love because you will need a shoulder to cry on! This movie is so amazingly beautiful! The music and scenes add beautifully with this movie. Go watch it!!

Summary: Good Movie
Review: Although this movie was depressing, it still was a good movie. It was kind of slow though. It could of had more excitement going on. It's very emotional and makes you believe in the power of love. Not a bad acting job for Mandy Moore. She probably will get more movie offers because of this. Her singing ability has improved also.
