Summary: The Movie Of The Year
Review: I thought A Walk To Remember was a great movie. It was sad, happy, and had a very good story line. The movie was well acted by all the people in it. I liked Mandy Moore and Shanes West's acting the best. My friend and I were crying towards the end of the movie. She shouldnt have died. I thought it was really sweet how Shane West (Landon Carter) stayed faithful to her even though she had died. He had fallen for a girl he never though he would fall for. Even though she died he kept wearing his wedding ring, kept in touch with her father, and stayed faithful to Mandy Moore (Jamie Sullivan). I would see the movie a thousand times if I could. Anyone who hasnt seen this movie yet, I strongly suggest that you see it. I'm pretty sure you will love it as much as I did.

Summary: A Pleasant Surprise
Review: I was poised to hate this movie. It featured a pop-princess, it was a teeny-bopper film and it was based on a book I truly hated. Then I saw the trailer. Hmm, it looked kinda interesting and Mandy Moore looked as if she could actually play the part. So off to the theatre I went. And wow...what can I say...I still can't stop thinking about it. Something about this movie touched me and made think about love, faith, romance and how I've given up on finding those ideals at the early age of 24. The film had a certain sincerity that appealed to me and made me willingly believe in the love story which, in other movies, I would have simply dismissed as contrived and manipulative. But the chemistry between Mandy Moore and Shane West made all the difference. They made falling in love on-screen look natural. Although some credit must also go to the writer and director. It's nice to find a teen movie where the film-makers took the time to actually develop the relationship and therefore make their transformations believable. When I read the book, I seriously hated the story, mostly because of the Jamie character. I thought she was too bland, one-dimensional and totally unreal. Even for the 1950's...she was toooo nice. But Mandy Moore's interpretation of Jamie improved the character. She easily conveyed the innocence and sweetness that are Jamie's fundamental traits, but added a little attitude to make her stronger and interesting. I don't know any other teen actress who could convince me of being naive without looking mentally-challenged. Mandy Moore embodied Jamie with angelic purity, strength and intelligence. Shane West, normally forgettable in his other roles, also stunned me with his amazing performance. In less than two hours, he went from lost and aimless cooler-than-thou pretty-boy to an I-am-my-own-man-and-I-like-it character. The surprise for me here was that I didn't doubt his 180 transformation. His subtle performance was touching to watch, especially in his scenes with Mandy Moore when he's granting one of her wishes. You could practically hear the audience swooning. Yes, there are flaws in this movie. But for me, the love story unfolding more than made up for those flaws. It's been years since I actually believed in an idealized romance. One where I didn't laugh or roll-my-eyes and said, "Oh puhleez! Is this guy for real?" The movie is hardly original and does not aim to be high-art, but it is in its simplicity that I found great expressions of love. That tiny scene where Landon (Shane West), allows Jamie to be in two places at once, had more romantic tones than any sweeping David Lean epic. There's a sincerity here that is rarely found in other movies. As a plus, there are areas where the story veered away from the cliches such as: 1.) ugly-duckling to beautiful swan transformation for the heroine...there's none of that here. The Jamie character stays true to herself and that for once, is a refreshing thing to see in teen movies 2.) The parents are not heinous creatures --- woohoo!! I'm so sick of seeing movies where all the blame goes to the parents. Glad to see that the Peter Coyote character (Jamie's dad) was portrayed as strict but understanding 3.) No romance between the single parents. Thank god! So there, this might not be a movie for everyone. Some found it too sentimental and sappy for their worldy tastes. But when it works, well, it may never leave you. Great job Mandy and Shane!

Review: Wow, this movie was really amazing. I'm sure most people think that its another singer-turned-actress who really shouldn't have made the transition, but Mandy Moore did it really well. This movie will have you laughing, and crying. You will think twice about the realtionships that you have with other people. I loved the movie so much that i read the book right after. Though the book is different from the movie, they both capture everything. YOU SHOULD REALLY SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

Summary: boy was I wrong!
Review: when I first saw the preview of these two "kids" I turned and told my boyfriend, that, that role was not meant for a teenager. I thought they should have had someone older. boy was I wrong. the movie was perfect for these two actors not "kids". the acting was honest, mandy looked like some one who this could actually happen to. unlike britney spears wearing such a vulgar shirt when she meats her mom for the first time what an impression. this movie touched every sense of me I and my boyfriend loved it. best movie ever.

Summary: This movie changed my life!
Review: On February 25th I went and saw this movie alone. Then the 26th I went and saw this with a friend. Then later I went and saw this movie 6 times with my cousin. This movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen. If you don't buy it then you better rent it. If you don't do either then read the book. Both the book and the movie are inspiring. Please, don't miss an oppertunity like this.

Summary: Incredible
Review: A story of love that we can truly learn from....if you have not seen this movie yet, you really, really need to. There might not be another film like this for a long time. I fell in love with this movie ever since I saw it for the first time. The acting, the story, the message....it's all among the best I've ever seen. Great time and diligence must have been put into this movie, and you can really tell. The only part I didn't like was the first ten minutes, where it showed signs of being another typical teen movie with the same teens getting into the same trouble. All I can say is that I learned not to judge something too early.=) Excellent, excellent moviemaking. This movie can do something for everyone. If you can't relate to Jamie and Landon, you can at least understand what they go through and how they feel. "A Walk to Remember" drilled some pretty important things into my head....extremely sensitive story with something we can proudly learn from and appreciate. Sadly, love like Landon and Jamie's is sometimes hard to see in our world. It certainly exists, but you have to look for it. Mandy Moore and Shane West use their characters to inspire you to look. Don't wait any longer to see this movie. Really. Take someone you care about and see it. With a powerful message like this, you simply can't go wrong. You've seen the good reviews on here--don't you want to go now and see what all the excitement is about? =) "A Walk to Remember" is certainly an achievement to celebrate. A true classic for the heart and the soul. You may never look at love the same way again. True love is a gift. It's a responsibility. It's a commitment. It's meant to be beautiful and unique. "Walk to Remember" has all those pieces, and more. Make sure you don't miss it.

Summary: Review for A Walk To Remember
Review: Dear All,
I thought this movie was so great. It was the perfect romance story I have been waiting for for a long time. The plot of the story was fantastic and that actors/actresses had an outstanding performance. This movie will make you cry, laugh, and put a smile on your face. This movie has everything in it from romance to drama. I suggest if you haven't seen this movie to go buy it or see it because I know you will love it to. A Walk To Remember is also the perfect movie for couples to go see or watch at home. Overall I loved this movie and now it is my favorite!

Summary: Nice
Review: Everyone did a exceptionally well in this movie, except for Mandy Moore. Her acting skills need a little more improvement. Other than that, this movie is really good. Although the only thing that I don't like about movies from books is that they never follow the book. Nicholas Spark's "A Walk To Remember" was different in it's own way. In the book, the story was set back to the 1950s and everyone was sort of a "goody two-shoes" sort of deal. In the movie, they made it sort of a modern "movie-type" setting. Anyways, since Mandy's lack of acting skills bombed this movie...Shane West's hotness makes up for it.
