Summary: A great addition to the book
Review: The movie was really great except for the fact that they left out the main reason that the book was called a walk to remember. I decided to read the book before it came out and it was wonderful. Jamie and Landon are total opposites but somehow they find love. I read it in one day and cried my eyes out in the end. In the book though, when Jamie and Landon get married,Jamie, who was too weak to stand was in awheelchair. But with a little bit of help, she walked down the church without her chiar, Landon describes this as "A Walk To Remember", I found that part to be the most touching part of the whole story and was outraged when I saw that they did not include it in the movie. Otherwise, the move was a great addition to the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This will be remembered-always.
Review: I remember when I went with a friend of mine to see this in the theater, we both had wet eyes. I don't cry that often when I watch movies, but this movie makes you feel. The casting is wonderful and the story is beautiful. If you don't own this DVD, you should.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Laugh, Cry & Reminisce
Review: I made sure I didn't cry during this movie, although I was expecting to, considering I cried at the movie AND the book of Message In A Bottle. I did get teary though, but not full-blown. Dunno what can be said for my boyfriend, who I was watching it with, who disappeared off to the toilet as soon as the credits rolled! :) (Think I've embarrassed him now?)

My mum's had the Nicholas Sparks books for a while now - as soon as a new one is out, she gets it. So far I've only seen the Message In A Bottle movie, and read the book, although I recently bought The Notebook, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I definitely hope more of his books get made into movies, as he's rumoured to be writing a sequel to this as well.

I was quite shocked seeing Mandy Moore, as I didn't recognise her at first - she looked so young! I'd previously only seen her in Saved, and she had a completely different hairstyle in this, and a terrific makeup artist by the look of things. She looked much like she did when she arrived on the music scene, except she was blonde then. She couldn't complete with the Britneys, Christinas & Jessicas that were around at the time, so she moved into acting, and hasn't looked back! The only quibble I have about Mandy is she seems to sing in the movies I've seen her in, and the characters she plays are always Christian.

I wasn't particularly keen on Shane West's character to begin with - he was like every other guy who I've met, who's a complete & utter jerk, and acts differently around their friends, to how they do around you.

The movie was shot in North Carolina; many of the sets were from the TV show Dawson's Creek - particularly the school, hospital and Landon's home.

I'm definitely going to be reading the book next, and I'll probably read some of Nicholas Spark's other novels, and I'll decide what should be made into a movie next. The inspiration for Jamie Sullivan's character and some of the events in the book/movie; is from Nicholas Sparks' sister, Danielle Sparks Lewis (whom the book and movie are dedicated to). The novel is set in 1958. When Jaimie gives Landon her mother's book she says "Don't worry, it's not a bible." In the novel by Nicholas Sparks, Jaimie does give him her mother's bible which has her favorite passages underlined.

I did find the ending quite predictable, and although I'm not going to give anything away, I did think it should have finished after they did what they did, rather then five minutes. (Five minutes is a long time when you've been sitting in one position without moving, and you have a dead leg!)

The extras on this DVD aren't much to write about, but I'll list them anyway. They include: commentary by Shane West, Mandy Moore and Adam Shankman; commentary by director Nicholas Sparks and screenwriter Karen Janszen and music video "Cry" by Mandy Moore.

I watched this movie at my boyfriend's, although I'd already had it on my wishlist, I'm definitely going to buy it for myself now! It's one of those movies which needs to be watched again & again - plus my mum now wants to see it. Ignore the reviews that say it's rubbish - grow a heart guys.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: awesome
Review: This was a extremely good movie. The relationship that these two people had, was great. I would recommend this movie 2 teen couples everywhere.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sappfest
Review: I hated this movie. It was definitly the sappiest movie I have ever seen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A heart touching movie.
Review: I watched this movie not knowing what the outcome would be. I'm a guy, and seeing the relationship in the movie, it made me want something like that. A Walk to Remember has definately changed my life. This movie has so many elements that make it the perfect love story.

I read the book, which I love even more, and I found myself wishing that they one have included important moments from the book in the movie.

If you love the movie, and want to get the full experience of the love between Landon and Jamie, then I definately recommend picking up the book. I couldn't put it down, and like the movie, I cried at the very end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing, Touching, and Appealing
Review: It touches my heart and makes me think to appreciate life and love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful, Moving, and Magical
Review: Defintly one of the best movies I have seen, the first time and everytime you see this movie you are still hooked and cry. It turns from that was a wonderful movie, to I HAVE TO HAVE THAT SOUNDTRACK. Literally, wonderful moving and just soooo romantic. A must for the diehard romantic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mandy Moore fit the part like a glove!
Review: Must see. Makes my top 10 ever. Movie just keeps getting better and better. During/after her 'solo' in the 'play' I was totally hooked. Ms. Moore will probably never be better than she was and looked (sweet and super cute!) in the perfect, great role. Mr. West was perfect for her to play off and vice versa. Of course we now own this terrific show. Like Top Gun, the music makes this movie really 'sing' and better than it already is.
