Love brings together what peer pressure and lifestyles seek to keep apart in this coming-of-age story based on the bestselling book. Teen idol Shane West and multiplatinum recording star Mandy Moore star as two high schoolers -- she a straitlaced preacher's daughter and he an unmotivated delinquent. When events thrust him into her world, he begins an unexpected he'll never forget.
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. --Jeff Shannon

Summary: A Walk to Remember
Comment: Love cannot measure by a person look. Time and day that they spend together is so precious to them. When reading the book and watching the video it gave me that to find a true love is very difficult.

Summary: Perfect Love Story
Comment: "A Walk to Remember." Understand my full meaning when I say that this movie, an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' novel of the same name, is my favorite love story. Period. I know there are parts that have room for improvement, such as the dialogue in the beginning, but I love this movie like I love every good story. Unreasonably and fully.

I first saw this movie when I was in high school. I caught it in the middle during an airing on HBO, and was captivated by how Landon (Shane West) and Jamie (Mandy Moore) came together, how it not only sent Landon on a soul searching path to redemption, it also enriched Jamie's life in a way that is hard to describe. The performances are pitch perfect, but so genuine and underplayed that you almost forget you're watching a movie, which is an effect that only a handful of films had ever had on me... and I've watched thousands of movies. So in seeing the second half of this movie, I knew I had to have it... and was ecstatic to see that it was playing again directly after the first airing. I taped it and, as I was home sick the entire next week, I must have watched it at least once each day. Twice, on some. I bought the DVD soon after.

Few movies are as sincere as this one and, while it does delve into very lovey dovey territory, it never feels gooey or false. This movie is a celebration of faith, love, change, life, and death, and it will always be in my Top Five.

10/10 Classic.
