Beautifully Acted and Thought-Provoking
Because of his involvement in a prank gone wrong, good-looking, popular but unmotivated high school senior Landon Carter (Shane West) is sentenced by the school principal to take part in community activities, such as tutoring disadvantaged students and being in the school's spring musical, both of which likable, plain outcast Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) also happens to participate in. Here is where the stage is set for their two worlds to collide in a way that neither ever thought possible.

Shane West gives an engaging performance. In just a little over 90 minutes, his emotions run the gamut from totally disinterested to totally in love, and it's very believably well done. Mandy Moore's portrayal of Jamie's quiet but confident individuality and innocence is a refreshing, pleasant surprise. These two have excellent screen chemistry, which is so important on film. You don't have to be a fan of popstar Moore or of "Once & Again's" West to be moved by this humanistic and beautiful tale of the power of love. Highly recommended.

Sweet movie about first love.
Having read this book and loved it, I had no idea what to expect when I went to see the movie. I was especially uneasy about the movie being transplanted into the 90's, I felt it could lose a great deal in translation. Happily, my fears were unfounded. Instead of bowing to all the traditional bents of a teen movie, A Walk to Remember stayed sweet and touching, just like the book.

Mandy Moore is excellent as Jamie, the goody-two shoes misfit with a big heart. She brings the character alive in a way strikingly similar to how I imagined her. Shane West, meanwhile, has a most memorable performance here, as Landon Carter, first as a member of the in crowd, who has no plans for life beyond weekends and then as a young person in love.

Sweet, touching, and emotional, this is a beautiful movie. And whether or not it is considered a "teen" movie, I highly recommend it to people of all ages.

It reminds me that life is beautiful, if we want it to be.
I didn't expect to be so touched by this movie. In the first 20 minutes, i was kind of studying Mandy Moore's face and acting, but suddenly I started crying, and couldn't stop, I couldn't wait to see it the second time. This is not a perfect movie in every sense, but it's very beautiful, and it moves me in a way I've never imagined. The screen chemistry between Shane west and Mandy moore is so convinceful and I hope they are dating in real life.

I came from a different culture, The way I grew up teaches me loyalty to marriage and family, we really believe one love in a life time. When I first got here, I was very shocked to see so many black jokes about sex and marriages in TV and big screen. It looks like everyone start playing dating game since teenager, and never stops. The violents and drugs in school make me worry about my baby's future. This movie show me the pure love I didn't see in the screen for a long time. I disagree some reviews about this movie is unrealistic. I do believe the love described by the film exists, as long as we have faith in it, and we fight for it. It also let me reexamine my own marriage and my own life. When I started fighting with my husband because of all this work stress and life stress, we are kind of cruel to each other, say so much bad things we shouldn't say. It reminds me of the love we once had. The life is so short, why can't we forgive each other, be kind to each other. Just enjoy the life. The life is beautiful, if we want it to be.

The movie want me to be a better person.
