Wow! I'm Truly Impressed...
Initially I watched this movie because I had not seen it before. I was like, hmmm well what kind of teen bull is this gonna be? It started off ok, it wasn't bad, wasn't great. Somewhere 15 to 20 minutes into the film it started gaining more and more depth till I almost thought I was watching an entirely different film. I will admit some of the high school stuff was not really original, but the love story between the 2 main characters was where the real magic took place. Their willingness to overcome the adversity of Jamie's(Mandy Moore) preacher father played by Peter Coyote, the mocking of Lance's(Shane West) friends. It makes you believe in love all over again.

Can't say enough about this, it truly touched me. Shane West was both likable and heartfelt, Mandy Moore was sweet without being fake or overdoing it. I can't really see how someone would not walk away from this feeling something for these characters. It was warm and charming, hopeful and courageous.

I was on a no cry record...
Mandy Moore has been one of my favorite female soloists but I wasn't too sure about her acting. I mean, "The Princess Diaries" wasn't too much of a stress for her role, but "A Walk to Remember" really put her to the test. ...And she passed - with flying colors (literally, I was crying so hard!).

Shane West was great too; his character brought out all the emotions we go through and his performance was just incredible! (And I interrupt to say that he is incredibly hot, and he and Mandy are such a cute couple on the screen!)

Now for the story (which we've all heard by now): a rebel falls for the plain but sweet daughter of a minister, getting to know her during his punishments for a prank with his friends. Don't groan or judge this another teen plot of geek turns out not-so-geeky - this book was written by the same author as "Message in a Bottle" and it is the sweetest movie out there.

While it may seem like any other love story (life-altering, sappy, tragic) the cast manages to pull it off and give you a whole new impression! My big-mouthed friends had basically given me a line-by-line summary of the movie, but I was caught anyway in the theater, gasping and crying. ...And guys: this is a sure lesson in love for you! ;-)

A Walk to Remember... What A Relief!
Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember is an intelligent, sweet, and attentive love story about two teens from different social classes that meet up coincidently and fall in love.

The movie begins with the troubled some teen Landon Carter,(Shane West)when trespassed on public property and pressured a friend to jump into a body of water in order to join Landon's group of friends (he jumped).Landon's friend was seriously injured and the police caught Landon. He was sentenced to do work for his community(tutoring, drama club etc) . Obviously, his popularity gets to him until the geeky "sweater wearing" Jamie Sullivan(Mandy Moore) saw something good in Landon. Landon, like his meanspirited self, he shews her off ,but finds a reason to need her help with his lines for drama club. Before they started Jamie warned Landon that he was not to fall in love with her. Later on, inside of him he does love Jamie. This film tragically deals with the peer-pressure of others, how Landon needs to forgive his dad, and what Landon is faced with when he does fall in love with Jamie.

This movie maybe sad and heart warming ,but for sure is a great uplifting movie that even gives a lot of moral values. surprisingly this movie was well made and it worked without the flavorless raunchy jokes and the teenage sex that would make it a teen movie.Thank God we got a grown up movie and not to much what we've seen before in our culture of raunchy teen flicks(sure they are entertaining ,but they do get old). I liked Mandy Moore in the movie. She seems real and is great on camera. Shane West is great as well as (lets not forget) Jamie's dad, Rev. Sullivan(Peter Coyote) who was likeable and convincing. The movie is charming and at moments is silly ,but overall was enjoyable and just a fun rental or something to watch on HBO. Grade:B
