Summary: it's the most touching movie
Review: This is definitely the kind of movie that the world needs to see more of. I will admit that it is very cliche and predictable at some parts, but you know what? It doesn't matter at ALL because this movie is among the best I have ever seen. Mandy Moore and Shane West deliver incredible performances. The plot is simple enough--two teenagers from completely different sides of the tracks meet and illustrate that old saying that "opposites attract." Mandy plays Jamie Sullivan, an unpopular girl who carries a Bible everywhere, wears out-of-style clothes, is made fun of mercilessly by her classmates, but is surprisingly pretty comfortable with herself. Shane West is Landon Carter, a guy whom you'll hate at the beginning of the movie and then love. He is a charismatic person and a troublemaker who is only able to convert to a better life when he gets caught at a bad time. Obviously, he and Jamie meet along the way and enter into a relationship that has just as many setbacks as advantages. It is just the sweetest movie in the world. Ok, so you might be a little skeptical going into a movie that has a pop singer as one of the stars (Mandy Moore), but you have to give Mandy a chance here. She is excellent as Jamie Sullivan, a character who is literally WORLDS apart from the preppy cheerleader label that Mandy carried out in "The Princess Diaries." The girl can act! =)Shane West's performance in "A Walk to Remember" is equally awesome. The solid acting plays a big part in the movie's success. If you want a good movie, go to this one! Don't be surprised if you get addicted to it--I know I'll be seeing it a million times =) Haha, but seriously, it is a great film. Do yourself a favor and go see it with someone you care about. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be completely and totally touched.

Summary: A sure-fire crowd pleasing chick flick with a lot of heart
Review: I read the book, and I cried. I saw the movie and I fell in love with Shane West, and I cried some more. This movie restored my faith in the male gender and in the power of love. I plan to purchase it on DVD as soon as it is released so that I may view it at any time that I wish. I recomment it to anyone, except those who do not wish to see a movie that will make you weep.

Summary: Do you believe in fairy tale love?
Review: The story was sweet, Mandy Moore's performance was sweet, the guy she falls in love with was sweet, etc. This is the kind of movie parents can feel comfortable sending their young daughters to see. The story is full of wholesome values: treating others kindly; volunteering to help those less fortunate; loving people because of who they are on the inside, not just for how they look or what other people think of them; and waiting until marriage for sex. Despite the positive values this movie promotes, I can only give it two stars. Whether or not YOU like the film will probably depend a lot on your age, sex, and experience with relationships. Men will almost surely hate this movie. Please don't force your boyfriend/husband into seeing this one. Teenage girls and young women who still believe that real-life love is just like the movies will love this story, cry like a baby, and go home dreaming about how someday they'll fall in love with a guy just like Landon. But women who have had experience with relationships and love will find the story silly.

Summary: A MOVIE TO REMEMBER
Review: A Walk To Remember is an excellent movie, starring Shane West and Mandy Moore. It was about a cool kid, who gets into trouble, because he was the only person to stay and help a kid, whom the cool kids had dared to do something. This forces Landon(Shane West) to ask Jamie(Mandy Moore) for help. Jamie says yes, as long as he didn't fall in love with her. He thinks that is impossible, but he does. Then he finds out the amazong reason for Jamie having huge ambitions, and so much faith. You will have to see what happens next. I advise you to get up out of yur chair, and attend the next showing of A Walk To Remember. I love this movie because it is interesting, and good. It also is a romance.

Summary: A GREAT MOVIE!!
Review: I thought a walk to remember was a fantastic movie. Mandy Moore was not half as bad as I thought that she would be and Shane West does a really great job, not to mention that he will grab any teenager's heart. It throws some curveballs, but all and all it is a great film.

Review: I think this movie was so good! Mandy Moore is a great actress and i loved her in this movie! I also really liked Shane West! He's hott. Well this movie really is a great story about an unpopular girl and a popular guy that fall in love. Landon (Shane)realizes that there is more to Jaimie(Mandy) than he thought. It's a great love story and full of excitement. I can't wait to see it again!
DEFINETELY GO SEE THIS MOVIE AS SOON AS YOU CAN!

Summary: A Bit Saccharine but Sweeter than Some Sugar
Review: I think I can fairly say that as an agnostic man rapidly approaching his mid-thirties, I'm not exactly the target audience for "A Walk to Remember". That alone is its own disclaimer...It's not even the type of film I would normally find myself attending were it not a bout of whimsical nostalgia brought on by the chance resemblance I noticed between Mandy Moore (as Jamie) and a girl I loved the summer before my senior year. Thus lured, I went to the theater and watched this story mirror mine... The movie made me think and it made me feel. No one could have been more surprised than me. Still, I can see the faults with "A Walk to Remember". Though Shane West manages to convey some solid emotion as Landon and Mandy Moore's Jamie radiates despite her inexperience and frumpy wardrobe, these characters are one-dimensional and seem slaves to the sheer unoriginality of the story. Typical is a scene where Landon's ex-girlfriend cruelly passes out flyers with sweet Jamie's head pasted on a Club magazine covergirl's body. Sadly, it is overdone with all the attendant movie clichés: Close-ups of school kids laughing like hyenas, close-ups of Jamie's sweaty mortification, a heartbeat soundtrack, all of the above moving at half-speed. A better (and ultimately more difficult) scene would have shown us a Jamie capable of standing up for herself in the moment, perhaps breaking down only when it had passed and she was alone with Landon, enabling him to return and still throw the punch that estranges himself from his friends. A viewer that lacks a personal connection to the film and therefore the ability to fill these missteps with the emotional shorthand needed, could certainly point to this scene and others as a fair reason to dismiss the entire film. Still, I think most of us still have enough intercourse with our poor battered hearts to enjoy the occasional manipulation even while recognizing it as just that. This film manipulates shamelessly and without apology. As teen love stories go, "A Walk to Remember" may deserve some points for trying to transcend the genre even if it doesn't make the climb. Certainly, it might be more beneficial to our culture if we were given more young female characters like Jamie. If girls like her were given some equal time among the teeny-bopper bimbettes that permeate entertainment, it might just open some young men to the reality of what they should be finding attractive and start looking not only with their eyes, but with their hearts. At the very least, it may spare some of them a surprising and unnerving feeling of deep regret, years later, when they least expect it.

Summary: Finally, a different view...
Review: While I haven't read the book, so I can't do a comparison there, the movie was refreshing from at least one standpont... it was nice to finally see a movie where the christians aren't (a) psycho-extreme fundamentalist-radicals (like the radical cultish terrorist guy, or the Rob Lowe "moral majority type" character, in Contact), or (b) shallow and without convictions (like the Catholic guy in Contact), or (c) so caught up in American evangelical christian culture (like Leap of Faith or The Apostle) that the average person can't relate. I'm not beating a drum for Hollywood to produce christian propaganda (as if they would), and certainly some of those stereotypes of christians I mentioned are real and deserving at times, and should be acknowledged. But it was nice for once to see christians portrayed at least a little bit more like the ones that I know. A little more perspective, and a little less bias and prejudice in this area, is refreshing. The movie could've been better - it really missed some possibilities in my opinion - and the end section was a little too sappy for me, and such an obvious play for emotions. It didn't feel completely honest. The movie wasn't as thoughtless as it might appear, though. Not profound, but oddly satisfying and encouraging.
