Editorial Review:
THE STORY OF TWO NORTH CAROLINA TEENS, LANDON CARTER & JAMIESULLIVAN, WHO ARE THROWN TOGETHER AFTER LANDON GETS INTO TROUBLE& IS MADE TO DO COMMUNITY SERVICE.
Description of A Walk to Remember:
With refreshing intelligence, A Walk to Remember offers welcome relief from the recent onslaught of teen-movie crudeness. Adapted from the novel by Nicholas Sparks and transplanted from 1958 to the present day, this admirable teen romance recognizes that two 18-year-olds--Landon (Shane West) and Jamie (pop singer Mandy Moore)--can be smart, mature, and sensible about the very real love they share. He's a popular kid in the cool crowd. She's got a goody-goody reputation as the dowdy daughter of a local minister (Peter Coyote); her values and priorities aren't rooted in peer pressure, and Landon feels blessed by her self-assured nobility. Their mutual affection inevitably heads into Love Story territory, but the movie is honest enough to survive its own schmaltz, and its attractive cast (including Daryl Hannah as Landon's mom) embraces a tone of sincerity and mutual respect. Finally... a teen movie with teens you can admire. --Jeff Shannon
A Walk to Remember Reviews:
A movie to remember 
2009-12-02 - Opposites attract. Bad boy Landon and reverend's daughter Jamie embark on a romantic journey in the heartfelt film A Walk to Remember based on the book by Nicholas Sparks.
The movie, released in 2002, features Mandy Moore as serious and faithful Jamie Sullivan, and Shane West as popular and cool Landon Carter. When a harmless prank goes awry, Landon is forced to participate in the school play and tutor students with mental disabilities, all activities that Jamie enjoys. Even though they start out disgusted by each other's values, Landon finds himself falling for her.
Jamie opens his world, showing him what he is missing out on in life. Little does he know that Jamie's passion for life was influenced by the fact that she has cancer.
This film portrays the pure and innocent experience of first love based on truth and respect. The beginning may seem like the usual teen romance movie, but as it progresses, the captivating chemistry and strong attraction between the two characters distinguishes this movie from others.
The director, Adam Shankman, made a great decision with the cast. The appealing teen pop star sensation Mandy Moore acts her heart out, and displays her vocal skills in the touching musical number "Only Hope". She manages to pull off a completely opposite role from her last movie as Lana, the mean girl from The Princess Diaries.
However, the tragic twist of the film is completely unexpected and out of place. The ending ruined the movie, and began to seem like just a remake of "Love Story". Set in North Carolina, the director seems to have forgotten some of the logical details, such as accents.
Overall, this film is definitely a walk that is hard to forget. For people of all ages, this movie will trigger many tears and touch on the deeper meaning of life, reminding us that true love occurs in the least expected places.
