Summary: GREATEST MOVIE!
Review: I just recently have finished reading the book A Walk To remember and then watched it. It is a amazing story of true love and how it can happen to anyone. Jamie Sulivan( Mandy Moore) is the ministers daughter and has lost her mother, Landon Carter (Shane West) is the popular guy who jokes around. Landon ends up getting punished by the principal by having to join the drama club where he meets Jamie. After much struggling he decides to ask Jamie for help. Jamie aggrees as long as he promises not to fall in love with her. Eventually he does but discovers Jamie is sick with Lochiemia. This is a great movie for all ages!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Only missing one thing
Review: This is an incredible movie, almost painful to watch at parts. I was however angry about one part, in the director's commentary they talk about deleted scenes, but there were none. Durn...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: What a touching love story! Moore and West had great chemistry in this movie. The movie was able to convey their deep love for each other while letting them keep their clothes on. How refreshing. Wish Hollywood could make more like this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I was changed
Review: So normally I hate tear jerkers and drama, but for some reason I bought this DVD. Perhaps it has gotta do with that cry song.

Anyway in the first few scenes i was a bit disappointed cos the movie was not set in 1958 like it was on the book. The scene opened not unlike that of a teen slasher movie. Lots of brats. I thought it was gonna be one of those b grade stuff.

But halfway down the line, the movie redeemed itself so well that it manages to embody the spirit of the book itself.

Shane West(never realised he's soo fit ;) is an excellent actor. He manages to display angst and easily switches to sensitivity mode. He was so convincing in his role that I actually felt his pain and cried with him everytime that he cried. What i'm trying to say is that this movie touches deep.

Mandy Moore is perfect as the innocent and sweet Jamie. I thought that she was still too pretty for the role though. Mandy as Jamie adds a bit of sensuality spice to this movie though.

The cast are talented and I hope to see more of them in the future. This movie is such an antidote to the oversexed movies that is in the market right now. I find it extremely refreshing that it potrays pure, sincere love btwn teens.

A word of warning though.. this movie, like its book WILL make you cry in many of its scenes, mostly due to the skilful acting of Shane.

In conclusion, I'd say that this movie is perfect, just like the book was..

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: SIMPLY UNFORGETTABLE
Review: For all of the critics and anyone else who's trying to lable this movie as "just another teen movie" should look at it this way: Before Michael Jordan ever picked up a basketball, basketball was being played. Before Wayne Gretzky decided to pick up a hockey stick, hockey was already being played, BUT what did Jordan and Gretzky respectively do for hockey and basketball? U know what they did? THEY PERFECTED IT, and thats the same way i feel about A Walk To Remember, it is the Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky of teenage movies. I happen to believe that it shouldnt even be labled a teen movie, the message of the movie was only transmitted through teenage flesh, but the message was ageless because it conveyed the eternal element and power of LOVE. A truly simplistic and natural tale of romance in a world (especially hollywood) that is overwhemingly becoming synthetic. I think that this movie will truly become a classic, but a think it will be a late bloomer because of the unfair treatment that critics rained upon it before it's realease. GREAT GREAT MOVIE, OTHER THAN BRAVEHEART, THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE. ONLY THE DEVIL HIMSELF COULD HATE THIS MOVIE.LOVELY

Summary: Movie to Remember
Review: I was pleasantly surprised when I sat down and watched this movie. I am not sure what I was expecting but what I walked away with was a smile. Mandy Moore (Jamie) and Shane West (Landon) give a great performance as two teenagers from different ends of the popularity scale who, when thrust together by fate, find out how well they compliment each other. Jamie helps Landon become a better person and Landon helps her come to terms with what is happening to her in her life. It was nice to see a teen movie based on something other than sex. It will make you laugh and cry. So get your tissues ready!! A beautiful movie for the young and the old.....for anyone who has ever been in love.
The soundtrack is wonderful as well.....you should check that out....just as good as the movie!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love it! Awesome! Fantastic! Fabulous! Fabulotastic!
Review: where to begin...ah, yes. i saw 'a walk to remember' in theaters earlier this year, even though i didnt actually want to see it. if it wouldnt've been the only thing out at the time, i probably would've never saw it. after i started watching it, i was extremely glad that we had decided to go see it. i cried so hard during the whole last half of the movie, and so did my mom and my friend. we still couldnt stop crying after it was over and we were driving home. this is not a bad thing, dont get me wrong. it is such a cool movie, and everyone should see it! on top of the greatness, the music is sooo overwhelmingly cool! when i got home from the movies, i downloaded all the songs and listened to them over and over! also, mandy moore rocks and so does shane west! the first day it came out on video, we HAD to rent it again, so we did. and i quote my mom, 'the whole "not-crying" thing didn't work...' i really need to buy the movie AND soundtrack...but there are money constraints, so i rented it online and should be arriving soon! i cant wait! once again, 'a walk to remember' is one of my favorite movies, and you have to be crazy to turn down the oppurtunity to see it!

Summary: Jamie's Miracle Belongs to Us All
Review: I know a lot of people pick on this film merely because it's not the usual lame sex-obsessed crude-joke-filled and corny trash that is constantly fed into the minds of teenagers. But actually, "A Walk to Remember" is a great film beyond its acceptability for most audiences -- Christian or secular. The reasons why this film are so special is that love is treated in the way that it should be... a willingness to love even if you know that you will be hurt. When it first came out, I had no interest in seeing it... but I went along to a showing and was captivated. I didn't know Hollywood had the intelligence to make this kind of movie any longer!

By now everyone knows the plot... it's about a wild child, Landon Carter, who gets into trouble for endangering the life of another student and drinking on school grounds. He's turned over to the principle, who informs him he must tutor underprivileged children on weekends, help the janitor after school, and participate in the annual spring play. Reluctantly, Landon accepts his punishment and is thrown in with a group of hopeful thespians, the most memorable of which being Jamie Sullivan, the local Bible-carrying minister's daughter. Since Landon is terrible at acting, and Jamie seems to have it altogether, he asks for help, despite her father's loathing of him.

The two go through the ups and downs of attraction, and that's when it really gets good, on an emotional level as well as visually. I loved seeing the changes in not only Landon, but Jamie as well. Landon becomes entirely unselfish and giving of himself... his soul desire through the last half is to make Jamie happy. It's a lesson in agape love that everyone needs. (I had at least two of my guy friends see this and totally get a new perspective on how they should treat their girlfriends.) And Jamie loosens up... she even wears a pair of jeans at one point and leaves her hair down. The scene in the middle of the highway will bring tears of joy to your eyes, since it's such an emotional "wow" that someone could do something so loving for you.

The music is also great, particularly the "Only Hope" sequence sung by Jamie (Mandy Moore) in the school play. That has to be one of the most gorgeous musical cuts I've ever seen on film... the images become a part of the music. I also appreciate the respect for Christianity shown by the characters; Jamie's father, the pastor, as well as Jamie herself, help break out of that stereotyped gay-loathing, Bible-hugging "religious" people mentality. It's a beautiful film, a gorgeous screenplay (the dialogue is so meaningful it's amazing) and tackles an emotional high with just the right level of good humor. I've reccomended it to all of my friends, and I would to you, as well.

On the DVD:

The picture and sound quality are beautiful; the textures and colors blend seamlessly to create something lovely to look at. The director's gorgeous cinematography is well-used in this edition, which is sadly under-pushed and without goodies. I would have appreciated a featurette or two, although there are two full-length commentaries, Mandy Moore's "Cry" music video, and a trailer. I didn't particularly like some of the comments made by the director on his commentary, which reference a raunchier version originally planned, and talks about some of the ways in which they knocked it from the targeted PG13 to a PG rating. (Why did I have to know that? Why can't I just respect him for making a clean teen flick?) But the movie itself, and the well-cut trailer, are exceptional in quality.

Rating: 5 stars
