You'll remember this for a long time
A Walk to Remember is an absolutely incredible movie! The acting of Mandy Moore and Shane West is phenomenal!
The story of the popular bad boy (played by West) and the shy, unpopular girl falling in love is absolutely extraordinary! Mr. Sparks wrote a dynamic love story and the casting director did a fabulous job picking the actors for this movie.
I was afraid the movie would be bad, but it wasn't. It was beautiful, sweet, and quite sad. Everyone in the theatre left in tears and, in the bathroom, they were comparing the scenes they cried during.
A Walk to Remember helps you to understand who people can really be when they shed the shell of what people expect and gain an understanding of who they truly are.
Mandy and Shane both have a great degree of talent and will likely have long acting careers, and probably receive many awards for future movies. (Let's face it, teen movies don't get Oscars, so don't expect nods for either for this one.)
Mandy DOES sing some in the movie and sounds so beautiful. Her voice and the songs that she sings compliment each other so well.
I've gotten this book and the soundtrack, both of which are awesome! I plan on getting the video as soon as it comes out. I would recommend everyone else do the same!
Teen "Mind Candy?" I think not.
I had no expectations other than another mildy entertaining teen sweet predicatble "mushy" movie. Well I was totally pleased to get a very well thought out and very well acted mature approach to a subject that could have left the viewer in groaninig agony. I loved this movie. i loved the job that both Mandy Moore and Shane West did. I was actually floored by the adult treatment of this difficult subject. Now don't get me wrong, this movie is not without its faults. Like the predictability from Landon and Jamie's first encounter, "... promise you won't fall in love with me..." That aside I think that these two did an excellent job of portraying true teen love and how quickly they matured as they realized what they had. Mandy Mooore should stick to acting, and sing on the side. She has a beautiful voice but I get the feeling that she has some pretty good skills at this acting thing too. Kudos to the director for his guts to do it hisd way. Kudos to the casting director for having the guts to go with some unknowns for this flick.And the actors, what can I say other than reiterate my earlier comments, this is a great teenage love story. Although it may not have been a boxoffice smash, it is far better than a lot of the fare that I have seen this year and I am heartily recommending it to all my friends. By the way, I am 53 year old father of three boys , the youngest of whom is 20 and who recommended this movie to me. BRAVO.
beautifully done
beautiful. there is no other way to describe this movie. this film, directed by adam shankman (who also did "the wedding planner"), was beautifully developed in EVERY aspect. the writing, directing, acting... all the way down to the soundtrack. this movie is truely a jewel... not your typical choice for a pop stars debut movie, or debut role. mandy moore plays jamie sullivan, the dowdy, socially akward daughter of the towns baptist minister. not popular, and not desiring to be, sullivan is comfortable in her own skin, and isnt bothered to show that her faith is the top priority in her life. landon carter, the guy from the opposite side of the tracks, is at 1st annoyed by her, then intruiged, and finally falls head over heels in love with her. but the story takes an interesting twist, leaving their doomed relationship in fates arms. the story is inspiring and uplifting, and will leave you encouraged. moore is delightful, proving that she isnt just "candy". shane west, whos plays landon, nails his part, somehow finding that impossible balance of sexy, irresistible heartthrob and sensitive, loyal boy-next-door. the soundtrack is unbelievable, filled with tracks featuring Mandy moore, Average Joe (shane west's band), Switchfoot, and others such as soulful christian artist Racheal Lampa, old-school styled New Radicals, hardcore Cold, and groovy (no other word to describe it) Toploader. there is something in this film for everyone, from your kids to teens to grandparents. your at a loss if you pass this movie up. the honesty and purity and simplicity will speak to all audiences, proving that love speaks all languages, is universal, and really does conquer all.
