A Walk to Remember (2002)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Providence brings together two opposite souls, each to rescue the other - one with no constraints, the other held too tightly. Despite warnings, they helplessly fall in love. Time, as is its nature, reveals the bounds the star-crossed lovers face. Despite their youth, they cope with the barriers to their future together with poise and assurances far beyond their ages. Their comportment recalls that of lovers with far greater experience, dignity and grace than might be attributed to such young spirts.The casting is perfection and the acting even better. All characters are extraordinary yet somehow unquestionably believable. The film moves with grace and style. At no time is the viewer left waiting for or wanting more sentiment or passion. This under-rated film is worthy of so much more than it has claimed and deserves to be watched over and over. If this story doesn't touch your heart, you don't have one.

From Nicholas Sparks' second novel, "A Walk To Remember" pairs Mandy Moore and Shane West as high school teens at opposite ends of everything. Moore plays a bible carrying sweetheart who is basically a saint with an amazing singing voice, while West plays a jackass who is part of the cool crowd. Neither of them has much in common, but a prank pulled by West causes an accident that forces West to do community service. One such service is to take part in a school play…playing the lead. Huh, what? West has no interest in playing lead, nor does he have any experience in acting; but the drama teacher gives him the male lead anyway because…well, because the screenwriter and director want West and Moore to have a reason to spend lots of time together, and they couldn't be bothered with writing a more plausible reason, so we just have to accept that shenanigan.So anyway…Moore/West have to study their lines together and guess what? West starts to like Moore, despite her being all goody goody and wearing weird clothes and the same sweater…well, to be fair, Moore is beautiful and is such a nice person and honest and intelligent — traits that West is hard pressed to find in his cool group. Moore's portrayal of her character is absolutely on the money, very believable and extremely likable; and it is Moore who saves this movie from being a cheese fest and catapults it to an entertaining, heartwarming rom/com/drama.Enough of me gushing over Moore's performance. West/Moore's romance of course hits the obvious bumps: the cool kids hate her; the father hates West; West feels alienated by his cool friends, etc. But the biggest bump is when Moore reveals her secret to West. This revelation is my most memorable, movie moment, which I will not spoil; but fans of Sparks will probably guess the secret.For the average moviegoer, "A Walk To Remember" will be a bit too corny and syrupy for their tastes; but for rom/com/drama fans, this is one of the better ones, and Mandy Moore's performance has almost everything to do with it.Mannysmemorablemoviemoments

In this story Landon meets Jamie during his punishment. They fall in love while practicing for a spring play. Jamie who always believes in faith, hope falls in love with Landon who was a bully. It is a emotional movie and has a great story. One of the best and cutest couple. i suggest that everyone should go for this amazing movie.

A Walk to Remember is not a typical teenager's romance movie. Unlike movies nowadays, it truly reveals an innocence and honest love between a religious girl and a bad boy without all the unnecessary drama and teenagers' problem. The movie was intriguing from the moment Jamie met Landon at church, how he denied that he actually had fallen for her kindness and positive attitude towards life. I love the part when she sang for him for the school's play, how it made him lost his breath. Their love was so pure and beautiful, it can make you cry. Although we all can tell that she's hiding her illness from the beginning of their relationship, you still would like to see how she changed him forever. The movie lacks something in general, but overall I really enjoyed watching it. The original soundtrack has become my favorite. I can't help it since it's just so pure and beautiful.
