Summary: Unbelievable - - Heart Warming
Review: Do Mandy Moore's talents ever end? She has an amazing voice, has her own show on MTV, is the spokeswoman for Neutrogena, has played for the President multiple times...and now she is the star if a major motion picture! If that alone is not amazing -- the girl is barely 18 years old.I have been a fan of Mandy Moore since her first single, Candy, came out. And it doesn't stop at A Walk to Remember - the movie is amazing! I sobbed uncontrollably after it ended and as soon as it came on video I went to purchase it. The song "Only Hope" in itself makes you fight back tears. Mandy plays a small-town Preacher's daughter who changes the life of a rowdy smart-alleck teenager. Together, they try to make a lasting impression on the world -- and more than that...they made a lasting impression on my heart.

Review: Oh,my gosh this movie is so sad at the end!Never watch this movie! Well, I guess you can but remember,I warned you!Mandy Moore and Shane West star in this movie as Jamie Sullivan a kind-of-geek-girl who dosen't have many friends and Landon Carter who is very popular until one point of the movie when his so-called-friends made fun of Jamie.Then he and Jamie get together as girlfriend/boyfriend until he finally askes her...o.k.I won't tell you what happened becuase it would give you license to not watch the movie.So have fun and enjoy!

Summary: GREATEST MOVIE EVER, bad DVD
Review: this is the best movie ever made for people of all ages, but the format and features of the DVD is very very disappointing. After waiting 6 months for the release of this movie, the DVD turns out to be a [...] widescreen! they shouldve at least put "WIDESCREEN" on the front top like what normal DVDs do. not everyone has a widescreen tv. having the format as widescreen completely affects the way i view the movie. i couldnt stop complaining. i might as well record it from the theatre to get a better deal. at least i'll get the view of the WHOLE THING. also, the special features are [...]. i expected deleted scenes or have mandy moore/shane west talk about the movie. even so, a behind the scene of the movie. but no. all it has is a some commentary. i find this dvd [...] and i wouldve better off bought the VHS instead. to add to it, the box is also very [...]. i have a bunch of scratches on the cover since its cardboard, and also ripped it! A WALK TO REMEMBER IS STILL THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!

Summary: The best
Review: This is one of the BEST movies I've seen in years. It is remarkably moving. My husband, who doesn't enjoy "Chic Flicks" was deeply touched and said it was wonderful.

Summary: A great movie
Review: I loved this movie. It was very good. Although, I thought the ending was kinda sad. It made me cry. Shane West and Mandy Moore are the perfect onscreen couple. It is easy to relate to, how people will do certain things to achieve goals.

Summary: Awesome Movie!
Review: I'd just like to say that this movie is amazing. Mandy Moore was more than perfect for the part, and the same can be said for Shane West. Unlike some other pop stars who have been attempting to act, Mandy Moore is truely talented. This movie is a must have and I hope all who buy it love it as much as I did!

Summary: Better than every other modern teen-romance I've seen
Review: This movie was NOT what I expected. When my sisters rented this movie I expected some bad acting, a fair amount of singing, and no stoyline. Boy was I wrong. The acting in this movie is quite good, Mandy hardly sings, and the stoyline (although done many times before) was extremely well executed. But that's not the real shocker. What broadsided me was the total lack of self promotion on Mandy's part. This is a dramatic role, and that's how she plays it. Her character is a person who looks plain and ordinary on the outside, but has a beautiful, pure heart on the inside. Lovely Ms. Moore looks quite plain in the entire movie except for two key scenes where you suddenly realize just how beautiful she really is. Another thing that's hard to belive is just how nice the two main characters in this movie are. A little too good to be true. Oh well, I guess you've got to have a little faith in humanity. If I have one complaint about this movie it's that I would have liked to hear Mandy sing more. Her big song in the movie is "Only Hope", and it's awesome.

Summary: Utterly Disappointed
Review: I read the book, "A Walk to remember" by Nicholas Sparks, and I really liked the story and how it's main character, Landon Carter, evolved. It was a story of redemption and undying love. The overall message to it is: It is what inside that counts. We can all learn from this that people can really have an effect on what kind of person we really want to be deep down. The movie has kept up the part of the story between Landon and Jamie Sullivan, the girl he falls for. However, I was not at all pleased with the fact that they had made it a modern day story when it was set in the 1950's in the book, and Landon narrated it from the present. It was like he was looking back at his life, and replaying those most important momments. It was a quality the book had that kept the story and it's meaning so true to life. We all often look back at past relationships and experiences that helped shape who we have turned out to be.
The movie totally disregarded that whole part, and that awful soundtrack of "movie rock songs" doesn't help my opinion. The only song that had any meaning was the song that Jamie sang to Landon in the play.
It was perfectly clear to me that this movie just used the book as a springboard for a new teen movie. I have no idea who Shane West is, and I didn't think there was anything special about him. When I pictured Landon in the book, he was nothing like this guy. He just appeared to be another cast member of Dawson's creek.
Mandy Moore, who played Jamie, was okay. She is the latest of the pop singers to grace the silver screen, and she didn't do much better than any of those who came before her. She wasn't the worse actress, but like West, I didn't feel anything special about her performance.
The best acting was by Darryl Hannah as Landon's mom, and Peter Coyote, as Jamie's father who is the reverend in the small North Carolina town they live in. They were both very believable.
The scenery was beautiful. I know the story is set in N. Carolina, but I don't know that it was actually filmed there.
If you just see the movie and skip the book, maybe you will better off than me. I tend to compare movie to book. The book is always so much better because you get to know the characters so much better. If you don't have time for the book, but like romantic films, this is an okay diversion from reality. It is not one of the best, but if you are under the age of 18, you will probably appreciate this more. It seems most of the reviewers here are of that age group. I am on the fence here, I recommend it to young adults. Fans of the book, it would be a better movie had it been more true to the original story. Skip it, and read the book again. Eileen Famiglietti
