Summary: Total Sap
Review: This movie is total sap from beginning to end. This is by far the sappiest movie I've seen in years. It has all of the classic elements of sap: boy and girl from mutually exclusive social realms fall in love and one of them dies at the end (hmmm just like Rome and Juliet, West Side Story, Titanic, and a myriad of other stories with the same plot). This movie piles on the sap extra thick at every turn. For those reviewers who thought that this was a good teen movie, all I can say about that is, "You've got to be kidding me." This movie is as non-intellectual and unrealistic as many of those mindless movies that the film industry targets at teenagers. If you like total sap, then this movie might be for you. For those of you like a movie with substance, don't waste your time.

Summary: The moment you'll start to cry
Review: When an onslaught of teen movies came pouring in the pre-summer of 2002, I knew this would be bad for the box office. Seriously, who wants to see a dumb teen flick about a girl that a guy is trying to get on a bet, or maybe because she's popular or beautiful? No one. "Crossroads" was a huge waste of time, and was filled with sex, teen drinking and mid-driff Britney (Adolencent boys will probably disagree with me on that). When "A Walk to Remember" came out, I was slightly reluctant to see it, especially with the disapointment of "Crossroads". Later, when it was released on DVD, my sister said I should get it because it's nothing like other teen movies. I though "What the hell", and got it for her anyways. I thought mainly the only reason why she wanted to get it was because hunky teen actor Shane West (TV's "Once and Again") was in it. I thought what's the harm in watching a innocent teen flick? They're all the same, right? Not this one. Once I started it, I couldn't stop watching it. It was beautiful. It was wonderful storytelling and very intresting characters. But probably the most important thing about this movie is what it made me do...cry. Yep, I cried. Like a baby. Very rare does a movie come around that is so touching that you feel along with the characters. Especially not a teen movie. This isn't just another teen movie.Landon Carter (West) is a troubled 18 year old in North Corolina. After a hazing gone bad when a kid is paralyzed, Landon runs from the cops...for about a few seconds before crashing. Injuring his left leg and a scar on his forehead, Carter is forced to do community service with his school. To help him in the suituation is plain-jane girl, Jamie Sullivan (Pop-star Mandy Moore, who I must say is a very, very talented actress). Jamie is the town's Baptist's preacher's daughter, whom her strict Baptist father (played by Peter Coyote) forbids her from dating. After Landon is enrolled in a school play that is lead by Jamie, he starts to grow attacted to her. Landon's friends, however, keep Landon from expressing his true feelings because they are the popular crowd. But in no time at all, Landon falls in love with Jamie. But Jamie is struck with a problem that prevent her from falling in love with Landon, and it not just her dad what I'm talking about. "A Walk to Remember" was a brilliant film, complete with love, laughter, heartbreak, and tragedy. All this sounds like a William Shakespeare story, right? On the contrary...it's based off the novel by Nicholas Sparks ("Message in a Bottle" is his first novel-adapted-into-a-movie). The film is so beautiful, that scenes when Jamie and Landon are bonding together makes you wanna burst into tears of joy. If you rent, or buy, this movie, it's best to watch with some tissue. In one such scene, Landon thanks his divorced father for a very special treat (see the movie), where he starts crying while he hugs his father he hasn't talked to in 7 years. That scene made me cry hyerically because it makes you love your own father for all the sacrifices he's made in the past for you. Both West and Moore give Oscar worthy performances, and Landon's Mother (played by Daryl Hannah) also did a wonderful job as a parent figure. See "A Walk to Remember". Hopefully, with this movie, Teen movies will never be the same again.

Summary: This movie makes me want to be a better person.
Review: I ordered this dvd for my younger sister. With the Australian dollar being so low, it cost me a small fortune. I didnt know much about Mandy Moore but now I am mesmorized. This movie makes me want to be a better person, is a breath of fresh air and has an amazing message. It also has a high quality script, believable acting and a great soundtrack. A total pleasure.

Summary: One of the greatest love stories I've seen
Review: To start off, Mandy Moore didn't sing her own song, it was a Switchfoot song. This movie touched me more than any film in my past. And I am a movie buff, constantly watching everything that comes out. I won't go on like everyone else, but I will say I am forever changed by this story. It made me want to be a better person, and I've been trying very hard. I rented and bought this movie in the same day!

Summary: A truly unforgettable movie.
Review: A fantastic movie about the blossoming romance between two people that have nothing in common at all. Jamie Sullivan(Mandy Moore)and Landon Carter(Shane West) are two different people from two totally different worlds. Jamie is somewhat like "goody goody two shoes" who knows exactly who she is and has a sense of direction in life. While Landon is a guy who's only enjoying school because he's popular, fate brings the two of them together and Landon finally realizes the importance of life.
Although this story has a sad ending. I thought it was a fantastic adaption of Nicholas Sparks' novel. Finally a teen movie that isn't based on sex,drugs,etc. I have to praise both Mandy Moore and Shane West on playing their parts. You could feel the chemistry between them, and hopefully that chemistry will lead to something off-screen. Mandy Moore also sang beautifully in the movie, and her song "Cry" is also featured in the movie.
I strongly recommend this movie to teens and adults alike, but be prepared to have a box of tissues next to you while watching it, because you are indeed going to shed a tear or two. Truly a movie worth watching and will definately touch the hearts of all the hopeless romantics out there.

Summary: A Most Memorable Walk To Remember
Review: Superb DVD both in the way the story unfolded and the most unexpected but delightful performances by Mandy Moore and Shane West. Although it had it's sad moments, they were purposeful and not superfulous. It had significantly more happy moments, all of which "rang true" and ended on an upbeat note. A most delicious delight in this day and age. I did feel the resolution between father and son was too easy and more than a little glossed over but it did not change my enjoyment of this movie one bit

Summary: Oh my GOSH
Review: Oh my gosh this is such a great movie. You can watch this over 20 times and not get tired of it! Trust me there are no corny scenes no stupid take of you clothes crap! Every parent can appreciate the support it gives them. A sweet film that will make you cry and if you dont cry it will eat you up inside thinking about it. Mandy Moore plays her part in such a refreshing way ( unlike Britney Spears) she plays a girl that sticks to her morals no matter what the situation. I think that she will go far in acting if she stays this way. Shane West... WOW... WOW i dont know what to say an amazing performance so amazing his character a bad-ass kid turned good. Oh my gosh not only is he drop dead gorgeouse but he is also an AMAZING ACTOR totally something you want to add to your collection, hey even guys love this story, i have a friend who saw it before me HE told me the whole story and was actually really in to it! He said it was his favorite "chick-flick" and made his " eyes a lil misty"! This movie really made a mark in peoples lives when i ask a guy have you seen " A walk to remember" they pop up and just start talking and talking about it, something the whole family will love.
Although this movie makes you cry its kinda a good cry like you just gotta but doesnt mean your deppressed or whatever. Shane West AMAZING wow wow i really dont know what to say such a good actor soooo much talent, as well as looks! Mandy moore totally refreshing and nice to see! This movie deserves so much more!!!
You will so miss out if you dont own this!!!!

Summary: You cannot enhance perfection!
Review: Forget the "higher critics" this film is just fantabulous. This film may not satisfy the sensual appetite of some movie-gluttons today but mostly I am finding people agreeing with me that they were joyfully suprised. Obviously it is just a movie but "Jamie" (Mandy Moore) and "Landon" (Shane West) has a certain chemistry just so right where I wish the romance could continue off screen (and maybe it will) I am catching on myself and creating my own life's list of things I aspire to do (one being to go to a major movie premiere) I really liked seeing Moore without all of the "war-paint" on. Unbelievably, some of the negative reviews are dissing the film for lack of foul language. Whatever they say, profanity does not get my positive attention. I do my best to ignore it as it is an excuse for something substantive to say. This film has great dialogue. Something very much lacking today. Something you will enjoy on the DVD is a pioneering format in the actor's/director's/writer's commentaries. They really set the example of how it is to be done. Spontaneous, fun and informative. Very enjoyable. Hats off to everyone involved.
