NOT Another Teen Movie¿Truly Powerful, You Will Cry
"A Walk To Remember," the movie adaptation of tear-jerker novel specialist Nicholas Sparks best-seller, derives most definitely from the norm of recent teen romance movies (ie - She's All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, Summer Catch, Never Been Kissed, Princess Diaries, etc).

Like many movies based off of books, the plot is inherently more developed and more powerful. This is definitely the case with "A Walk to Remember." With the overtones of faith and the power of true love viewers will clearly be inspired and be left emotionally touched when they see this movie. This is more than a chick flick. In one word, the movie is "powerful."

The story as the previews allude to follows the story of Landon Carter (Shane West), "the very rough around the edges popular guy" and Jamie Sullivan (pop diva Mandy Moore), "the not-so-popular, but very good girl," a very unlikely couple who eventually fall in love. While the basic plot sounds cookie cut from any number of teen movies, all similarities stop there. Instead of the receiving the by-the-numbers storyline of unlikely love, what you do get is a powerful, yet tragic tale of love won and lost, but not really lost. With strong religious undertones (Jamie is the town Reverend's daughter), it is also a story of salvation and redemption.

Aside from the awesome story, the performances of cast are superb. Especially cool is the on-camera singing performance of female lead (and ultra-talented teen pop diva) Mandy Moore.

Best Scenes:

-- The play scene

-- Landon to the rescue

-- Landon and Jamie's first date

There's a lot of other great stuff, but it'd definitely be a spoiler if you've never read the book...

For myself, an avid moviegoer for over a decade, I can honestly say that I can count on ONE HAND the number of movies that have actually left me truly touched and in tears. Those movies are "Titanic," "The Green Mile" and "A Walk To Remember."

Ultimately, this is definitely one of the ultimate movies to go out on a date with your loved one (or potential loved one). Whether you're a guy or (definitely) a gal, you WILL like this.

Highest Recommendation

Amazing Movie!
Let's be honest! My friend wanted to see the movie because of Shane West (oh my god he is hott!). I was fine with it. After I saw it i couldn't believe that a 'teenie-booper' movie was that great! I was amazed. The Trailers give nothing was. The trailers are a little misleading. I was crying for atlest 30 minutes during the movie.

Shane West(Landen) who is amazing on 'Once and Again' gave a perfect preformance. They couldn't have picked a better man for the job.

Mandy Moore(Jamie) was outstanding. She really gave 110% to become her character. Her singing isn't to bad either (kidding! shes great)

When the movie first started I was a little disapointed because I figured another teen movie. Then about twenty minutes later I figured it was going to be an execelent film. I watched it twice already and cried both times. It's a must see!

My favorite scene (well i love the whole movie but if I have to say)

Landen- I might kiss you
Jamie- I might be bad at it

Landen- thats not possible!

Funniest Part-
Eric- If Jesus is so giving why hasnt he found you a new sweater?
Jamie- Because he was to busy looking for your brian!

Saddest Part: When Landen first crys! It'll melt your heart!

Definitely a movie to 'Remember'--very touching
Oh my god, this movie was so moving. I admit it, I am a teen so I have seen my share of the usual boy-meets-girl-and-falls-in-love-and-wants-to-have-sex movies... but this was different. The most Jamie and Landon did was kiss and hardly touch first base.

Landon Carter (Shane West) is your average popular bad boy who enjoys his life, has tons of friends and picks on all the new and not so popular people. But one prank completely changes his life and gets him into doing service appointed by his principal that hopes to change him and give him a different perspective on life. And that's how he meets Jamie (Mandy Moore). At the drama club where they play the starring roles of the school's Spring play. Jamie doesn't care what people think, obeys the rules, reads the bible, and goes to church every Sunday. But most of all, she is kind.

Landon is changed by her and their love story is a realization that young love without sex is possible despite the overlook of today's relationships. I found myself shedding tears by the end of the movie.

Although there are not many bonus features included in this DVD, the story itself is enough for a complete satisfaction by the viewer. Mandy Moore's music video 'Cry' depicts the afterlife and includes Shane West.

All in all, 'A Walk to Remember' was definetly 'A Movie to Remember'.
