Summary: A Movie To Remember...
Review: How can you describe perfection in words and yet not spoil it?!
I am nonetheless writting this review because I feel it a duty to my soul and the souls of those it might convince to see this movie.
It is the most moving and enlighting piece of work I have seen in the past few years.
I began watching this movie expecting a nice "she's all that" kind of story. However, as the plot unfolds, you suddenly realize it has taken you by surprise and basically beslaved you. It gently penetrates your skin and finds its way to the deepest places in your soul. Those you might never have known existed at all. Those you might have forgotten along the way. A place where you learn to discover love all over again. Clean from all the mischiefs of our times.Pure as it was meant to be.Timeless as it should certainly be.
I am not part of the typical viewer group of these types of movies (I am 30+ years old) and I know something about love. Or at least I tought I did! This movie made me rediscover love. Saddly it made me also realize I was not living love even though all may lead to think so. I know now I have forgotten love and I wonder what I should do about it!
For those of you who are still looking, this one is for you. It will show you the right perspective about love. Love where feelings are the main actor and where sex holds only a supporting role.And maybe, just maybe, if your're lucky enough, you'll find a love as pure and beautiful as Landon's and Jaimie's.

Summary: Gifted actress with "stage magic"
Review: A Walk to Remember is a pleasant uplifting film based on a small book of the same qualities. If you've read the book, the film first may disappoint, but it captures the author's intentions and firmly stands on its own as a fine piece of work. Mostly why you want to view this film a multiple of times is the performance of Mandy Moore. She is truly a gifted actress. At first I wasn't even conscious of her acting, her skill being so great that the author's imagined character, Jamie Sullivan, seemed simply to have come to life. Mandy has a lovely singing voice too. But she also has what I call "stage magic". Watching her face when she says her lines reveals a multitude of expressions that convey her portrayed emotions with certainty. You can turn off the audio and still understand her meaning. Its like magic - you can't take your eyes off her and she is the focus of any scene she appears in. There are very few actors with this quality, and she has it in spades! People will remember this film as her launching pad to fame in films and Broadway musicals.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mandy Moore is AMAZING in this movie!!!!
Review: This is THE best movie I have seen in a long time!!!!!! I was never a big fan of Mandy Moore (just the whole teen thing) but after seeing this movie I am hooked! This movie was amazing and Mandy is a wonderful actress! I am a 26 yearl old, male, and I was balling my eyes out for like the last 20 minutes of the movie. I went out and got the soundtrack and Mandys most recent CD and I like this girl a lot! I can't wait to see her in more acting parts! She was superb in this movie. I recommend that everyone see it.

Summary: Mediocre
Review: If you liked the book "A Walk to Remember" don't bother with the movie. Or watch it knowing it's not a thing like the book. I was disappointed when I saw how different it was, because 1.)In the play, she was a shady-looking nightclub singer, not an angel 2.)She always wore brown sweaters, it was a trademaek thing, in the movie she gets a pink one ... but I don't want to be too critical and point out everything I noticed. It's the typical sappy, teen romace film. It's ok, but just really flaky, with mediocre acting. The one positive thing I have to say is: It's not the typical teen movie filled with crass jokes (OK, there are SOME) and talk about other unapporperiate things.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A True Love Story and a Fresh Twist
Review: I would like to say that I absolutely loved this film. It is a true love story and although it is filmed with teenagers as the core audience, I think it can be enjoyed by anyone. It's mature theme is universal and real. It was truly refreshing to see that even though Jaime and Landon are on different sides of the track, he being "cool" and her being "spiritual", Jaime did not let their love compromise her faith and her spirituality. Instead, Landon was the one who grew closer to God. Also, one of the greatest things about the movie is that the writer and the director did not feel the need to demonstrate love and affection through sexual acts which is seen quite often in movies. Love and relationships are more than just that. I would recommend this movie to any hopeless romantic but also to those who are cynical. This movie has changed me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sets a great example.
Review: I'm so glad that
1)Nicholas Sparks wrote this book
2)This book has been made into a movie

Media has a big problem with stereotyping virgins, Christian people, and girls for that matter. This movie shows that someone with unquestionable faith has virtues of their own. I admired Jamie Sullivan and thought that she was a loving tribute to Nicholas Spark's sister Danielle Sparks, whom Mr. Sparks wrote the character in memory of .

Jamie was smart, sassy, independant, and strong. Many qualities that society ignores and has replaced with being physically desirable, fornicating, and partying.

Oh how the meek have not fallen. They humble themselves, but it does not make them weak, but stronger. They're memory lives forever in this movie and with positive reviews.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Romance
Review: If you like romances, then you should definetely buy this movie. This is not a regular romance though. I am not a big fan on romances, but anyone who watches this and thinks it's bad is crazy! It is about a high school kid who has to play in a play at school because he was caught drinking on school grounds. Well, anyway, he has trouble with his lines and he needs a little help learning them. He goes straight to the girl who has no trouble learning her lines. Before they can do anything, though, he has to promise NOT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HER. Well, you can pretty much guess he does. But, she tells him not to fall in love with her because an unexpected incident takes place. Mandy Moore and Shane West play a break through performance in this ROMANCE/DRAMA. It is such a good movie you will watch it over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tugs at your heart strings
Review: This movie left me in tears, I went through about 5 kleenex tissues in the last half hour part. At first I didn't know what to expect, I figured it would be like any old sappy love story but this one truly touched something deep inside. If have ever fallen in love, this is everything and more. The acting was splendid because it really offers more than what you expected.

This is a great movie for people of all ages because there is something about love we can all relate to. You will definately gain a better perspective on life after watching this. Also, don't forget to keep a box of tissues around because you will definately cry! Even the guys that saw it were bawling in the end. I will definately be recommending this to others.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a cute romantic movie
Review: This is such a cute movie. Just the idea, it is so pure and right. It's touching too. I usually don't like movies like this. I like comedies and teen horror movies, but this was good. I'm not even that big of a fan of Mandy Moore, but she fills the role great. She and Shane West have such good on-screen chemistry. This movie shows what is good and kind in the world, and what people can do. It is a great movie if you are in the mood for something serious and romantic, but it's a tear-jerker, so be prepared for that. It could be a good date movie if your boyfriend can handle romantic movies.
