Summary: An inspirational teen film with a religious feel to it.
Review: "A Walk to Remember" is truly a beautiful, touching film. It's based on the wonderful novel by Nicholas Sparks. In "A Walk to Remember", Shane West stars as your typical high school teenage bad boy, Landon Carter, with very low expectations for his life and future, and a troubled family situation. Mandy Moore plays Jamie Sullivan, who is just the opposite. She is the daughter of the town's minister. Very religious, sweet, and always kind to everybody. When Landon gets busted drinking, his school principal forces him into participating in the school play...the same play Jamie is in. During the performance, Landon falls for Jamie, and tries to get Jamie to go out with him. As their love blossoms, Jamie finally confesses her true feelings for Landon, but she also has a terrible secret that could ruin their relationship forever.

Mandy Moore and Shane West have amazing chemistry, and that's really what pulls the film together. Superb acting from the entire cast, and a great storyline. There is no sex in this film and very mild language and violence, so it is a fine movie to see by the entire family. The DVD extras include 2 commentaries, cast film highlights, theatrical trailer, and the music video for Mandy Moore's song, "Cry".

I highly recommend this film to everybody, but especially teeangers.

Final Grade: A+

Summary: A heart-felt movie
Review: This is a great movie filled with romance and tragedy. Mandy Moore makes a great apperance in her first star role as Jamie Sullivan in this movie. Shane West is also a great actor. It is about a girl who has cancer that falls in love with her total opposite. It is a beautiful movie. I have also read the book and I love the book too. I cannot chose a favorite because they really are two different stories. They both have the same plot but the main events are different. This movie makes things that don't seem possible so real. It is so obvious that there was so much chemistry on set. That makes a great movie. Another thing that really makes this movie what it is is the fact that it is not your basic average teen movie. This is filled with less fantisized real issues that people have to deal with. During this movie I have felt every emotion possible. I could not stop crying at the end. If you don't think Mandy Moore can be a good actress, give her a chance and see this movie. She is not like Mariah who came from singing to acting. Mandy Moore has a natural talent of acting. This is a great movie and I recommend it to anyone who is searching for a great movie to check out. If this isn't already, add it to the list of movies you want to see.

Summary: A Movie To Remember!
Review: You get romantic comedies like "She's All That", and you get romantic dramas like "Crazy/Beautiful". "A Walk To Remember" is one of the latter. You also get movies designed to promote popstars such Britney Spears and "Crossroads". Thank God this isn't a movie like that. Speaking of God, this movie does feature Christian values but in a non-preachy way. The movie is simply about having faith in what you believe in. I'd never read the novel before hand so I had no previous notion of what this movie should be about. I watched it in a non-cynical way and with an open mind. I discovered that Mandy Moore was fantastic, as was Shane West. I'd already seen much of Shane West's work in tv and film so I was able to maintain my respect for the actor here. Mandy Moore though is more than a popstar and quite an accomplished actor. I'd only seen her in "The Princess Diaries", and now after seeing this I want to see more of her. "A Walk To Remember" is unashamedly romantic. Ignore all the negative reviews regarding this movie and accept it for what it is.

As for the DVD itself. The commentary by the original author and screenplay writer is fascinating. The other commentary featuring Mandy Moore, Shane West and the director is quite cluttered at the beginning with them talking over each other, but after a while they do get used to giving their commentary, and there is a seemingly nice bond between the three. The DVD also features the trailer and a music video from Mandy Moore. It would have been nice if there was a featurette and some deleted scenes which apparently do exist but were omitted from this DVD. However all in all, the movie itself is worth the buy. "A Walk To Remember" is a movie to remember. Brilliant!

Summary: A Very Cute Mandy Moore movie next to PDS!!!!
Review: I'm not a very big fan of Mandy Moore which I only like her song Candy but anyways this was a cute movie next to her Summer 2001 hit "The Princess Diaries" which personally the best movie ever where she played Lana Thompson one of the cheerleaders who disliked Mia anyways Mandy has a great voice and dressed very cute and modestly in the movie except the part where she singed wearing a vey inmodest dress which that was a great scene anyways I thought this was very romantic and very sad and happy movie but I loved it and would really recommend you see it. :)14 yr. old

Summary: For all you cynics
Review: Look i consider myself as an intelligent film watcher, i know as much as the next person that this film is shmaltzy, predictable and unoriginal but hell it was really well done and really enjoyable to watch. There is nothing wrong with enjoying what has come b4. Films are rarely original the same themes are revisted in every film ie godd v evil, love conquers all etc and this film is no different. But if you weigh all the pros and cons this one comes up trumps. Mandy Moore (ala CANDY MANDY) and Shane West are very enjoyable to watch the music is woonderful and the locations look magnificent. Watch the film take it for what is it and enjoy it and take it for what it is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible!
Review: Mandy Moore's proformance in this film was incredible! Her music talent is outstanding & this showed that her acting ability is off the chart. Mandy Moore should be in many more films in the future. If I was a director/producer I would DEMAND that Mandy Moore was in my film!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The rison why I gave it only 4 stars is ...
Review: 1. The rison why I watch this movie is...
I was too lasy to leave my place , and rent something to watch that evening . So , I checked what on Pay-per-View . " Lord of the Rings " I already seen in the movie theater ." Hart's War " I seen to , and didn't like that much : story was too fake , and it was glorifying war too much - not worse to se it again . " A Walk to Remember " ?...No , another teenage fake love story . So , I endup watching " Lord of the Rings " . And loved it again . My girlfriend was already in bed .I finished good novel " Fruit of a Poisonous Tree " and around 4 in the morning I was still awake . Nothing on TV was good and I started just klicking channels up and down ...Ooops ! The Pay-per-View was still UP !!! With a Different movie on it !? They Do screw up sometimes . That is why I wathed this movie ! And I am glad , I did.
2. The rison , why I am glad , I whatch it .
It did start like an everage teen movie . The boys fooling around as allways . Than one of the boys ( Landon ) meet a girl (Jamie ) , and started fooling around with her . But Than movie started catching my attention . What I really like - was the developing of Landon character . First transformation came from his fight to admit to himself , that he likes her . The only result of this fight he've got - falling in love with Jamie . And we se another new character . Than , when kid find out , that his girl is dying from lukimia , we se another Landon . What can I say ... exellent acting by ( what his name ? ) ... Shane West ( just checked in TV guid ) , need to remember his name - very good actor . But !
3. Why I gave this movie only 4 stars .
The time between a moment , when he found out about her illness , and when she dyed... was not deep anouph for me . It lookes like to me , that they ( the movie makers ) didn't have anouph understanding of all the little things , surrounding this kind of conflict . All movie would be not anouph to tell this kind of story ... I know ... My girlfriend is slowly dying in front of my eyes from ALS . And I have to deal with that . And I can do NOTHING to help ... only to make her life a little esyer . First , I wathed her being tied all the time . Than , she couldn't walk upstairs . And I mooved her to the first floor. Now, she needs a walker to moove around . ... When we go to the store each week , and she holds my albow on the way inside ... I can se how it progressing ... how slower and slower we walk ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Heart-warming
Review: This is truly a great movie. Mandy Moore is surprisingly great and Shane West's talent is extraordinary. You'll laugh and cry. I have personally watched it over 50 times!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie, even though it is a 'chick flick'
Review: As a guy, it was pretty hard for my wife to get me to watch this with her, but once I got into it, I was really drawn in. This movie is about true love and a bad-boy discovering that there is much more to life than partying and drinking. When Landon (Shane West) is forced to work on the school play, and needs help to learn his lines, he is forced to ask for help. He convinces Jamie (Mandy Moore) to help him, and through her he begins to see that life is too precious to waste. This story really fits the title, as Shane West's character finds a new path for his life, and the ensuing transformation is really moving. This movie will help you to remember the important things in life, and will remind you to treasure the ones that you love. Watch this movie and let it show you faith and love in a new way.
