Summary:
With refreshing intelligence, A Walk to Remember offers welcome relief from the recent onslaught of teen-movie crudeness. Adapted from the novel by Nicholas Sparks and transplanted from 1958 to the present day, this admirable teen romance recognizes that two 18-year-olds--Landon (Shane West) and Jamie (pop singer Mandy Moore)--can be smart, mature, and sensible about the very real love they share. He's a popular kid in the cool crowd. She's got a goody-goody reputation as the dowdy daughter of a local minister (Peter Coyote); her values and priorities aren't rooted in peer pressure, and Landon feels blessed by her self-assured nobility. Their mutual affection inevitably heads into Love Story territory, but the movie is honest enough to survive its own schmaltz, and its attractive cast (including Daryl Hannah as Landon's mom) embraces a tone of sincerity and mutual respect. Finally... a teen movie with teens you can admire.

lugubrious and badly directed, but touching.

Customer Rating:

Technically, this film is putrid. It suffers from every hollywood sin imagineable. Characters are poorly developed, the plot is choppy and inconsistent, the cliches are utterly blatant, and the movie is predictable. In short, it is your average syrupy dip of cotton candy fluff.

Yet, I am ashamed to say that there is something redeeming about this film. There is a certain poignant, hidden honesty. Perhaps the movie pulls on the universal strings of human nature in the right way.

You have the damsel in distress. The bad dude who saves her, and, in turn, is saved. The father who hates him, but grows to appreciate him. Oh, and sundry bathos filled scenes that blatantly attempt to pull the tears from your lacrimal glands.

Like an under-ager sneeking cigarrette, this movie is a guilty pleasure. It is hard to hate Mandy Moore's character (however inconsistent her development). She is uber-innocent, exists in a ethereal world, and is picked on by all of the people you hated in high-school. She gives this film what life it has. The viewer feels a certain attraction to her-even if this attraction is contrived in formulaic fashion.

One must note the irony here. The movie is making a moral point of telling you that it is not cool to pick on dorks, geeks, or what have you. Yet, in order to make us feel guilty for picking on the weak and meek, they choose a beautiful, lustrous young woman. Who would pick on her?! I guess it would not have the same resonance if they picked an ugly, importunate dork. Owell, such are the foibles of mankind.

At any rate, I found it hard to despise this mawkish flick despite its blatant limitations. Perhaps, in some quixotic universe, unalloyed love and redemption do exist. Perhaps pure salvation is possible. At the least, sane humans hope for such things. To paraphrase a classic quote from the movie, hope is like the wind, you can't see it but you can sure feel it!! (facetiousness intended)

To all the lugubrious souls in the world, it might be alright to spend a few hours watching this film. Your time could be spent doing worse things.

I love Nick Sparks, the movie was only O.K.

Customer Rating:

O.K., O.K. everyone has said that the book is WAY better than the movie, so I won't go over that ground, just know that it is comparing apples to oranges. While the book was wonderful, the movie was just O.K. I know that it is probably impossible to recreate and recapture the feelings of a romantic novel in movie form. There is so much introspection involved with a novel. Things that cannot be "seen," Thoughts that cannot be acted out etc...which are the basis of Sparks' books. So, for that, I can understand how a movie cannot be the same, or have as much feeling as the book.

However, to include the opening scene, which I hated, and the scene with the "computer generated" picture of "Jaime," was taking away time that could be so much better utilized in developing the chemistry between Jaime and Landon. In the book I felt it. In the movie, I didn't believe it. Not enough time was spent together. What attracted him to her? Seeing her in make-up and a dress???? I wanted to know more of Landon's thoughts. In the book he shares so much of that because he was the narrator. Are the previous mentioned scenes in there so it will relate to our "teen culture?"

Also, after watching the movie, I wondered what the "Walk to remember" was. So, maybe they should say it is based on his novel and call it something else, especially because they have changed the plot so much. Of course it is going to disappoint loyal Sparks' fans!

I know that Mandy Moore got rave reviews. I didn't see the reason why. I saw nothing special in her as I did in the book's character. Shane West was much better. He is very handsome and believable, yet I still didn't "get" why he fell so quickly in love with her. There was no explanation of these growing feelings and I felt "left out" wondering how they got to that so quickly. Why would any guy like him want to date the girl who wears old lady clothes and has one sweater??? That's what I was wondering. If you want to know--go read the book :-)

All in all, not terrible. There was happiness, sadness, but the plot was weak and the acting only passable.

Tear jerker!	Customer Rating:
Love this movie! My husband and I even saw this in the movie theater. He later admitted that even though it was a "chic flic", he still liked it!

The Best Love Story	Customer Rating:
I watched this movie when it first come out. It warmed my heart and showed me the message of hope. This is the most beautiful movie that I have ever watched. I loved it so much it has been playing on my mind recently and I had to buy it, if you haven't seen this movie, it is defiently one you will not want to miss.

I am a 29 year old guy and I commonly try to avoid most "teen" films that have a pop star in them. So it took me 5 years before I finally found this film after several recommendations pointed to it. I ended up completely falling in love with this film in part because it is sweet, inspiring, and it manages to confront many timeless issues that face teens, friends and lovers. I was in part swept up in the film because it also mirrors some of my own experience and it models love and our human struggle in a way that succeeded in teaching me to be a better person. Quite life changing to watch a film and then have better relationships and appreciate the small things once taken for granted. I also wish to recommend these other films: Moulin Rouge, Harold and Maude, Science of Sleep, Amelie, Shakespeare in Love, and Love Story.
