Summary: Mas que una simple pelicula de amor
Review: Vi esta pelicula no sin antes plantearme serias dudas acerca de ella, debido al corte juvenil en el cual se incluia musica y la conocida trama de amor... afortunadamente al salir del cine comprobe que no era una de esas otras tantas peliculas. Las actuaciones de Mandy Moore -Jamie Sullivan- y Shane West -Landon Carter- como pareja dispareja para luego formar parte del juego de amor frente a la muerte, imponiendose a los devenires propios de cada personalidad que les corresponde cuenta con una quimica perfecta. Mas alla de las lagrimas o la inesperada enfermedad, la historia gana adeptos a medida que transcurren los minutos. Por otro lado, la banda sonora merece una especial atencion, junto a la cancion "Only Hope" interpretado por Andy, quien nos brinda breves minutos de descanso y deleite hacia los oidos.
Esta pelicula es altamente recomnedable, y les aseguro que no es solo una simple pelicula de amor.

Summary: Like watching pieces of every YA show on WB
Review: Watching "A Walk to Remember" is like having to endure not only "Dawson's Creek" but every one of its WB clones - complete with picturesque setting and scenery-chomping teens (both good and bad) who seem to have been born speaking the arch language known as teen-movie-ese. The story is simple enough - a bad-boy (West) comes together with the good-girl (Moore) daughter of the town's Minister (Peter Coyote). They have nothing in common, so everybody who knows each of them must do their utmost to keep them apart. The comedic possibilities obviously eluded the script which plays up the story's romantic aspects and keeps it straight (never going for the quirks that make "Gilmore Girls" such a treat) by relentlessly tugging at your heartstrings. I know that we've been deluged by crude-teen flicks, but even "American Pie" was smarter and had more heart than this confection which shamelessly sends you in search of a box of Kleenex and offers nothing in return.

Summary: So Emotional
Review: Mandy Moore and Shane West shine in this truly touching movie, based from the novel written by Nicolas Sparks. Mandy Moore plays Jamie, an honest and devout Christian who has good morals and a good head on her shoulders. Jamie is picked on in high school by the popular crowd, in which Landon (Shane West) is a part of. Based on a prank/accident, Landon is the only one caught of his friends and he is punished by being forced to tutor the handicapped, janitorial tasks, and to take part in a play. Jamie has written the music for the play, and at first Landon and Jamie don't get along, he is concerned with his image and the perception others have of him. He grows past this and realizes he has deep feelings for Jamie. Jamie has a list of things she wants to accomplish in life, and Landon helps her acheive some of them. However, Jamie's dad is a minister who does not approve of Landon, but slowly Landon wins him over and her dad lets him take her on a date. Jamie and Landon fall in love. Through the story we learn of Landon's estranged relationship with his father. Before Jamie and Landon start dating, she tells him he has to promise not to fall in love with her, but ultimately he does and she confesses that she is dying of leukemia. Feeling ashamed she pushes him away and he is so torn about what to do, he goes to his father and they patch up their differences when he offers to pay for home care for Jamie. Landon makes her a telescope, and they see a shooting star. In the end Jamie and Landon marry, and she dies later in the summer. He ends up going to medical school like he planned, and realizes through her father that he was the miracle that she saw in her life. Overall I was really moved by this movie in a very emotional way, it really touched my heart. One of my favorite movie, good performances all around.

Summary: Good but....
Review: The movie is really good but not recommended for easy hearts. I had rent the DVD just because Shane West was playing in it (he's such a hottie!) I had read in a magazine that it was a "romantic COMEDY"... GET REAL !! at the end of the movie I was crying for more than an hour! The story's very sad!! But anyway, I would say that it's a good one. Enjoy and don't forget your kleenex !!!

Summary: A Movie To Remember... it touched me deeply!
Review: There are nearly 700 reviews of this movie on file at Amazon.com. I won't try to add anything to the analysis of the movie. I will say this: I am a 46-year-old male with a wife and children. I tend to be rather cynical. I cried like a baby when I watched this. It also prompted me into considerable introspection about the human condition. I think that means this movie qualifies as being art in the most positive sense. Also, it would be great if Mandy Moore could continue her career without tarnishing the positive role-model image she fosters through this role.

Summary: Just As Wonderful As The Sound Track
Review: A Walk to Remember is a heartwarming story about true love and faith. Jamie Sullivan is the daughter of a pastor. She is a kind and good-hearted person. Landon Carter is a boy trying to figure himself out. He has a very bad reputation. When Landon is forced as a punishment to particapate in the school play, the two fall head-over-heels in love. Jamie changes Landon for the better. But she has a secret, a secret that can tear them apart. I highly recommend it and its soundtrack.

Summary: This Movie Blew Me Away!
Review: To be honest, I did not have high expectations for this movie. I had heard it was better than Britney Spear's Crossroads, but heck, almost every movie ever made is better...The only reason I saw this movie is because it was on HBO and I happened to be flipping through the channels and managed to see it at the beginning. It didn't take long for the movie to grab me. Mandy Moore's acting was darn good. I never had the feeling that she was trying too hard or not trying hard enough. She played the role of Jamie Sullivan very believably. Shane West also did great. They both connected so well on the screen. It almost made me wished they were together in real life. They are so perfect! I must say that the plot has been done before. The typical opposites attract type deal. If you've seen Here on Earth, then you know how the plot plays out. It parallels it in quite a few aspects. However, A Walk to Remember blows that movie away. It does it so well that it has to rank as one of the best in dealing with that subject matter. And the music! Perfectly scripted to the movie. And man, Mandy Moore had some great songs. I even bought the Soundtrack, which I rarely do for any movie. O, yeah, I should mentioned I also bought the DVD (both the music cd and the DVD through Amazon). I'm just wondering why this movie didn't get more recognition? It's so good!!! I'm definately looking forward to Mandy's next movie coming out later 2003 I think, although, it has McCauly Culkin in it so I am skeptical about how good it can be. She also has a CD coming out in the summer, might have to check that out. I highly recommend this movie (hence the 5 stars). If you liked Titanic and Moulin Rouge (two of my all time favorites), you will like this movie, I guarantee it.

Summary: A true love story, you WILL cry....
Review: This movie is trully outstanding for the following reasons: 1) It is not your typical teen movie, which mostly showcases foul language, sex and violence, it's a profund spiritual movie about love, faith, setting goals for oneself, and most of all good morals and values (Something that is sorely lacking in teen society today) 2) The movie will bring tears to most Carbon-based units eye's, if it dosen't you are trully inhuman and unemotional. 3) The love and devotion that Landon shows to Jamie is trully heartfelt, she changes him in such an incredible way, of course he says he loves her... 4) Guys, this movie can serve as an example of how girls like "The Little things too", the part when Landon brings her to a place where she is in 2 places at once to fullfill one of her things on her list was such a sweet thing to do, Im sure many eyes were tearing at this point... 5) The movie really focuses on themes centered around the book, faith, forgiveness, redemption and the desire to fullfill ones goals and dreams... 6) The music in the movie was perfectly placed. When Landon proposes to Jamie, the Switchfoot version of "Only Hope" comes on.. This is another scene in which you must have your box of tissues ready... 7) I was simply paralyzed by Mandy Moore singing "Only Hope" Her voice was so angelic, that I was simply unable to change the channel when I first saw it on Satellite TV. She is a far better vocalist than Brittney Spears.. 8) This move is about love in it's purest form. It forsters itself throughout the movie from a friendship to romantic love between 2 people. The lack of physical intimacy is evident here, it only makes the scenes between West and Moore that much more romantic.

Summary: Shane, Shane, Shane.....
Review: This is THEE best love story I have EVER seen and probably the best movie, period. I admit that I could so easily pick up on the cliches and the corny parts involving the interactions between Landon and his friends (which could be painful at times) but because of the chemistry between Landon and his woman, this was very EASILY overlooked and forgiven! Shane West is an amazing actor who should be recognized for his extraordinary expertise at taking his character on a journey - a 'walk to remember' if you will. Those closeups of his emotions as he is riding in his car from his dad's that fateful night he is 'informed' (see movie) is absolute and utter PERFECTION. It is consummate acting at it's best! Shane had the unbelievable task of taking us alon with his character from one extreme to the other and did so, absolutely believably, and in about 90 minutes! He is superb and I loved him and will be watching closely for his next movies. (can you say 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' in July!) I have NOT seen 'Once and Again' and I haven't even heard of any of Mandy Moore's songs before this movie, but these two really work together. His face displays so much emotion when he looks at her that it seems almost implausible that it was just an 'act'. Just the way he would look at her was enough to get me started tearing. Their romance was so believable that I would've definitely bet they were a real life couple and was surprised to hear they were not. They had to be feeling SOMETHING for each other, at least while filming! Not to be overlooked, Mandy Moore is also to be commended for a very believable performance. While you knew she wasn't an expert actress, (Who would be up against Shane, he is excellent) she was a very lovable character who got the job done effectively. The reason for his growing affection was very easy to see and it would not have worked, if it wasn't for her performance as well. I have not cried this hard at a movie, ever, in my life. I was totally blown away by the series of sucker-punch events (I couldn't believe they were doing this to me!) in the last half hour of the movie. Totally unexpected, and while this may seem to be a formulaic movie, it's contagious to so many because it's what appeals to the HEART. Even though critics lambasted it, (with one of the exceptions being my homeboy, Roger Ebert, whose opinion I ALWAYS respect) to me, this is real life, it COULD happend and does all the time, not like all that 'American Pie' type stuff. Though that stuff happens too, we've seen way too much of that and not enough of this. People have gotten too cynical and have forgotten that true love STILL exists and triumphs. I never got sad in this movie, that's not what made me cry, it was how HARD Landon fell, his 'transformation' and the true genuine love between these two characters that did it to me. It knocked me off my rocker! BTW, this movie has taken up permanent residence in my DVD player....

Summary: Love can change everything
Review: This is the most romantic movie ever... I have seemed many romantic movies in my life but this is the only one that I will recomend to anyone who are dating at this time. This movie may change how you see and think about love. It is indeed a great movie. One of my favorite scene is when Shane West crying on his father's shoulder. It is just incredible. In fact, I cry after this. The power of love change his life and of those who surrounded him. Mandy Moore made a great actress on this movie and hope that both of them (Shane and Mandy would make another movie together).
