a powerful love story
Landon Carter is the most popular boy at school, and Jamie Sullivan is the totally non-cool pastor's daughter. They're the most unlikely match to fall in love, and yet it happens! In a subtle but powerful way, Jamie influences those around her, causing relationships to be restored and even the worst kids at school are changed. There are a few brief unnecessary scenes, but it is still a beautiful story of love and trust in the midst of great difficulty.

Surprisingly Sensitive and Touching Love Story
This movie is spectacular!!! I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of love stories....just be sure and bring a box of tissues. The only minor criticism I have of the movie is that I thought the teenagers were a little too crude and obnoxious....this could have been played down a little bit. Luckily, this tapered off within the first 20 - 30 minutes and then evolved into a beautiful story. It's almost as if the first few scenes don't fit with the rest of the movie. Case in point....there was a scene where one of Landon's friends was reading lines with him and he suddenly began making obscene sexual gestures....was this really necessary? Also, I think the movie may have been even more beautiful if they had kept the setting the same as it was is the novel...1958 rather than current day.

Surprisingly refreshing.
Before you say how could a guy like this film, especially one with a singer-turned-actress playing the lead. I beg you to reconsider. This movie is based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks. I've read several of his novels, and they're all very touching, albeit simple and slow. It was truly a surprise to see Mandy Moore take on this role with such seriousness. In this film, she plays the conservative daughter of a church minister. She's different from the other girls in that she doesn't care what other people think about how she dresses or what she does. In this film, Mandy Moore sings in a church choir and stars in a school play/musical (not a stretch since she is a singer in real life). Then there's the central element of this film which is her relationship with bad-boy-turned-good Shane West. Without giving away much more about the story, Mandy Moore prays for a miracle to happen and in the end it does.

This is a simple and sweet film. If I had to pick between this film and Crossroads (with Britney Spears), this would win. Watch it!
