Summary: My Reaview
Review: This was an awesome movie!!!! It shows people that love still exists and that it can really change a person. But, not all people will like this movie. If you don't like mushy movies with love and kissing and guys doing dumb sweet things for the girl of their dreams, then don't watch it. On the other hand, if you like this kind of stuff, then this movie is probably the best movie to watch. It is really sweet. By the way, (this is for girls only) Shane West is really hott in this movie!!!!!

Summary: awesome movie!!!
Review: to all you idiots who hated his movie. Do you realize that it is from a book by Nicholas Sparks? The book is great just like his other books and the movie was great also. Mandy Moore is awesome unlike Brittany Spears. Shane West did a great job also. I love this movie. If you have any heart at all, you would like it too.

Summary: Awesome Must-See
Review: First of all, let me say that this is my favorite movie. Mandy Moore and Shane West do a great job of turning this sad-but-sweet Nicholas Sparks book into an awesome movie. The story is kept refreshingly clean from sexual scenes and drugs, and I would recommend seeing this if you want a love story with a bit of a twist. Not your average "teeny bopper" flick.

Summary: Not Britney goes Crossroads, a Good Catch!
Review: When I first saw the preview, I sighed and said "yes, here's another singer trying to be like J. Lo and make it in the acting business. Why can't you stay a singer?" Mandy Moore was the A-typical pop princess who hadn't come in at the right time and thus was overshadowed by Britney, who had made Crossroads. Then I watched the movie and the thought 'don't judge a book by it's cover' came to mind. Though Mandy Moore had barely any experience in the acting business, she convinced me with her performance.
In A Walk to Remember, Jamie Elizabeth Sulliven (Moore) is a shy christian girl that doesn't allow what others think about her, bug her. Bad boy Landon Michael Carter (played by Shane West from Once and Again) has gotten in some trouble and lands himself in the school play with Jamie, who he enjoyed putting down. A Walk to Remember is in no way original, but it comes into its own by leaving out all the sex and drugs that most teen films have.
Those who see this movie as a Christian movie have not really seen this movie. Though Jamie is Christian and is a big part of the background for her character, the director doesn't try to stuff the beliefs down the audiences throat. The need for every one to find their way in the world is what the movie states.
A good movie to watch again and again. It doesn't get old like some movies. If you're looking for a movie to move you and make you think, the strength of Jamie will entertain you 'till your hearts content. Enjoy!

Summary: A particularly good girl reforms a quite romantic bad boy
Review: "A Walk to Remember" is another one of those bad boy/good girl movies that manages to transcend the fact that we have seen this story dozens of times. The bad boy is Landon Carter (Shane West), who runs with the popular crowd and is responsible for a dare than has tragic consequences. The principal decides Landon needs to meet some new people are orders him to help the janitors, tutor at the grade school, and join the drama club. That last one is important because it brings the bad boy and the good girl together, but the idea that the principal can put the "bad boy" into the school's big production where he can ruin it for everybody else bothers me big time.The good girl is Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore), the daughter of a widowed reverend, who stands apart at school because she carries her Bible and always wears the same blue sweater. Although she is the subject of looks and comments from Landon's crowd, she never bat's an eye because she really does not care what others think about her; she has a numbered list of what she wants to do during her life. The film does not make a lot out of the fact that Jamie is a Christian, but it is certainly a key part of her as a person. What I liked is that Jamie is a "good" Christian, by which I mean that she not only embodies her faith but that she does so without pushing it on anybody else. The stereotype in films is for Christians to be judgmental and superior, which constitutes an implicit attack on such characters. The character of Jamie might be too good to be true, but she is what makes this film work. More importantly, she gets the great line. Early on in the film as Landon continues to take shots at her, Jamie looks him up and down, makes a couple of totally on target remarks and finishes him off with the declaration, "You act only works on an audience." It is one of those lines that makes you sit up and take notice, whether you are watching the film or simply the character at whom it was targeted. Meanwhile, he has the most romantic moment in the film, when he fulfills one of the items on her list (being in two places at once). Ultimately what makes "A Walk to Remember" so differen from your standard teenage films is that it is about romance and not sex. Hopefully some of the teenage males who watch this film will get a clue on what romance means and how powerful it can be. But I have to worry that your average teenager is not in a position to appreciate a movie like this where the teenagers are intelligent and written that way. For this 2002 film the novel by Nicholas Sparks, which was set in 1958, is told in the "present" (it is not linked to any particular year). I was fortunate that once again I was oblivious to the big twist and did not know it was coming even before the opening credits. My biggest hint that something was amiss was when we find out what is #1 on Jamie's list and I did not think it was big enough to have the top spot. Of course, in the end it all makes sense. My only complaint with the end is that when we get to the obvious thing that needs to be said it just gets said and I was expecting it to get punched up for the grand finale. It would not have been that hard: Landon gives the Reverend Sullivan one of the two important books in Jamie's life, so the Reverend should have given Landon the OTHER book and in it would have been that which needed to be said.

Summary: Entertaining, great movie.
Review: This movie was simply great, Mandy Moore did a lot better than i thought. I never thought a singer like her would be a great actress, I mean look at britney Spears in crossroads. The movie might only appeal to girls though because it is a chick flick. Some parts of the movie weren't like the book but thats fine everytime they make a book into a movie things are different. Shane West does great acting, Mandy Moore does great acting, Lauren Germen is good, the acting was good. it was entertaining and it made you feel sad at certain parts and happy at others. This is a great movie you should buy/see it.

Summary: 4.5 Stars; pleasantly surprised.
Review: I just saw this movie for Mandy Moore, and was prepared to ignore how bad it was going to be. Fortunately I didn't have to resort that. I fully expected "A Walk to Remember" to be one of those ridiculous chick flicks about the "bad boy" that all the girls seem to fall in love with, and how a good girl changes him. Well, yes this movie does have that, and a bunch of other glaring cliches and absurdities. However, surprisingly as a whole the movie worked for me. I can't explain it, I guess the best way to put it is, the movie's heart was in the right place. There was a lot of genuine emotion expressed, and Mandy Moore shared some very real and believable chemistry with co-star Shane West. Mandy proves she can not only act, but also pull a chameleon on us; she is surprisingly believable in her role, in stark contrast to her usually glamorous image. Yet despite her playing an unpopular "daddy's girl", Moore is beautiful, adorable, and shines throughout the film, making it no wonder (to me at least) why Landon (West) fell for her. And I gotta hand it to West; me being unpopular in high school, I tend to hate these cool "bad boys" in movies, but West's charactor earned my respect by the end of the film. All in all, this is one of the better teen movies, although a sad one. By the way, I detect not a little similarity between this movie and the much worse "Here On Earth"; I wonder who copied whom?
Rating: 
Summary: Read the book.
Review: The DVD is fine and dandy, but the book is ever so more compelling, and it will get your attention better than the movie. I didn't like some parts of the movie, it just seemed too immature and obnoixious, but I find myself in the state of re watching A Walk to Remember on HBO and such, so in that case, I know I do truly love the movie. I love Mandy Moore, and she is just too adorable, along with the hunkalicious Shane West.
