Summary: A PRIVILEGE TO BE AMONG THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN IT!!
Review: This heartwarming story of a rebellious young man and a faithful and charming girl will squeeze your heart like no other...most likely threatening to puncture it...lol. A Beautifully portrayed film of how love can truly be in its purest sense. Romeo Montague has nothing on Landon Carter...as handsome as they come this heartthrob will spellbind you with his devil-may-care smile and boyish looks. Jamie Sullivan with her virtuousness will fascinate you as no other heroine will ever do. Both Shane West and Mandy Moore shouldn't at all be called actors for they both possess an aura that somehow hypnotizes you into believing that Landon and Jamie are genuine...that they aren't just fictional characters but true lovers that you can't help but wish reach the heavens as one...for eternity. This motion picture captures the essence of what life is really about...of rare things such as true friendship, timeless love and altruistic faith and hope. The simplicity and beauty of a picture such as "A Walk To Remember" should be classified as "unforgettable" because it is one of those movies you will find yourself owning and watching time after time. Nicholas Sparks...what can I say...more than a writer...a mind-reader is more like it because somehow he knows exactly what readers yearn for and he thrives with his knowledge. This film is an authentic treasure that should be cherished and loved...Take my word for it...it is...absolutely superb. I found myself wanting it to be infinite...never-ending.

Summary: A refreshing deviation from the norm
Review: Contrary to my own advice, I saw "A Walk to Remember" in the theater before I read the book. It made me cry. That may not seem like the most unusual thing, but a movie has never made me cry before. I am a teenager, so I take great interest in the way Hollywood portrays people my age. Watching movie after movie where the teen leads jump right into bed (without any forethought) gets wearisome. This movie was totally different.I am an avid Mandy Moore fan, but I had some doubt as to whether she could act well. I was blown away by Mandy's acting ability, and I can't wait to see what she does next. Mandy portrays Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of a strict Southern Baptist minister, with the skill of an Oscar veteran. She uses her amazing singing voice to accentuate a character that could easily become too sweet and good. I was also impressed with Shane West's performance. He makes you see that even though Landon Carter hasn't always done the right thing in the past, he can change. As a final note, I recommend the soundtrack and the original novel in addition to this film. The soundtrack will bring back all your favorite scenes from the movie with its mix of genres. The novel will tell a slightly different version of the story, but leave you feeling satisfied.

Summary: Sweet and sincere
Review: Take it from the gal who smirked through "Titanic" and "Ghost"-this movie is a breath of fresh air in the teen angst cateogory. Sure, it's a little heavy handed at times, especially towards the end; however, Shane West and Mandy Moore really make this story work. Mandy is nicely cast as the ethereal, good hearted preacher's daughter while Shane West steals the show as the bad boy who wants to do right because of the love of a girl. I know what you are thinking-the set-up sounds completely cliched; but for some odd reason, it works. I found it touching and earnest-I let my cycnicism have a two hour vacation while I thoroughly enjoyed the film.

Summary: it's about time!!
Review: i was so skeptical about seeing this film that i waited to rent it, boy do i regret it...i had no previous knowledge of the book or plot or anything so as i watched, it was quite touching and surprising. mandy moore did a great job with "jamie" but much kudos goes to shane west. he was fabulous...all the emotions he showed, all the expressions on his face drew all the feelings right into me. i was surprised that it wasn't about a girl trying to get famous with her singing abilities or about drugs or stuff that all movies seem to have these days. i especially enjoyed the innocence of this film and the courtship that the characters had. it's about time that we show our teenagers positve films. switchfoot contributed a lot to keeping this movie on its foundations. everything was great about this movie, see it if you haven't...it was even worth it for me to own it...don't forget the soundtrack...the messsage is a lot stronger and goes way beyond a church girl falling in love with popular boy.

Summary: WEST ROCKS, MOORE NEEDS WORK
Review: This is a very uplifting and positive film that is also romantic with a fairly moving ending, however predictable. But it began to make for a boring romance when Jamie and Landon kept kissing. And kissing. And kissing. I know they're in love, but I didn't know Jamie the Pious Preacher's Daughter was supposed to be so smooch, smooch, smooch all the time.
Shane West is perfect for his role with that vengeful look he's got, boyish good looks, and very mature voice. But Mandy Moore had a way of getting on my nerves. She's a good singer, but maybe she should stick to that instead of acting. I don't know, it's kind of hard to take her seriously because of her reputation as a teen pop sensation.
In the beginning, the movie looked like it would be another immature teen movie. Then in the middle it turned abruptly to an adult-like drama as Landon starts to change. That was all right, I suppose. It meant speeding up the story a little, though. I also found that the quick changes in music began to get old after a while.
Cíao,
Jeyn

Summary: Not another teen movie......
Review: Where can I begin with this movie: great performances by Shane West and Mandy Moore, very believable acting, inspiring music, well done script and a beautiful setting. Mandy Moore's performance as the shy and reserved Jamie Sullivan was both inspiring and believable, her acting proved to be nothing more than perfect, she really made the character come alive. Shane West played the part of Landon Carter to perfection, in the beginning of the movie his character was like this tough, bad boy I don't give a sh** about anything and then he meets Mandy Moore's character and the way their friendship blossoms into love changes him in a way that he never thought possible and Shane does that transformation so well. Shane and Mandy's chemistry in this movie is electric and seeing them together in some of the scenes in this movie such as when she tells him that she is dying from cancer, or when he tells her that he loves her definitely touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. This movie is about true love, faith, and that admist all of those goals we wish to accomplish in our lives the greatest one we can accomplish is finding true love. This movie will make you realize what having faith means, who your true friends are and that one of the greatest miracles in life is falling in love with someone.

Summary: So Moving That I Cried
Review: I absolutely loved this DVD. The story is so touching, sweet, and innocent, that I couldn't help but love it. The main characters were extremely well cast and believable, especially Mandy Moore. She totally captured the innocentness and wisdom of Jamie Sullivan. I was so relieved to find that this wasn't another of those "ugly duckling turns into a swan" makeover type movies, but that Landon (Shane West) accepted Jamie as she was, and loved her for who she was. I admired Jamie so much for not letting other people's opinions bother her. She is truly an
inspiration. This is a movie that truly deserves praise. I give
kudos to Mandy Moore for not picking just any old role to
promote her singing career (like others do), but a movie that
really meant something. She is not at all like other "pop
princesses", and she stands apart from them because of her
beautiful voice, and her respect for herself.

Summary: Mind Blowing A Must Have
Review: Many have tried and failed to crossover into acting, but suprisingly Mandy Moore has done an incredible job. We all know that she is talented in terms of sining but in acting?? Well I thought her acting ability was questionable until I saw this movie. I was blown away! I though the movie was great but I don't know if I can give her all the credit, this was based on a true story. I think that part of the realism really helped Mandy Moore. I felt that she was really able to make a connection with the audience and relate the true emotions of this true life story just as she does in concert. It is evitable to make comparison's to other great singers that have had great success in crossing over to acting. First you have one of the greates DIVA's in Mariah Carey in "Glitter" I loved that movie so much I purchased two copies. One to watch and one to keep in it's orginal packaging (I think this might be a better investment than Star War's action figures). I think Mariah Carey opened the door for musician's who want to crossover. But I must make one more comparision and that is to the greatest crossover talent that the Universe has ever known "Vanilla Ice" starring in "Cool as Ice". This man brought the rap scene to the main stream. This man coined the such great one liners "Drop the Zero and get with the Hero" and "Too the Extreme". How can one not make any comparison's I ask you. This man opened the door the for other talent's such as Eminem (In my opinion not as talented he can't even dance). Eminem = Vanilla Ice the Return or just "VI 2" ALL HAIL THE KING OF CROSSOVER'S "VANILLA ICE" IN "COOL AS ICE"

Summary: A rare and beautiful movie!
Review: "A Walk to Remember" is a great old-fashioned love story set in modern times that far surpasses most teen movies. Its the story of a popular boy named Landon whose life changes after he causes another boy to be injured in a accident. After this, he meets the nice and pretty Jamie who is the preacher's daughter and a devout Christian. At first, he is so afraid to be seen talking to her that he ignores her in front of his friends, but after getting to know her, they both fall in love. And this is where the story gets very sad. This isn't just a typical "Love Story" rip-off, this film had a lot of heart and soul. Through falling in love with Jamie and watching her succumb to her illness, he changes as a person and becomes better for it. And then there is all the romantic stuff that makes it such a special film. Its definitely a movie that will make you cry and its rare in that it shows how one person can change the whole path of your life. "A Walk to Remember" is also about rising above peer pressure and making choices of your own. It doesn't have to rely on sex to make the romance work. The rare film is able to do that and this is the kind anyone can see and enjoy. I was pleasantly surprised to see how good Mandy Moore did in this film. She was completely able to capture the innocent and good Jamie and I hope to see her in other films. All in all, this is a real tearjerker with a very good message. If you like romance, this is the one to see.
