Roger Ebert

A love story so sweet, sincere and positive that it sneaks past the defenses built up in this age of irony. Read full review

Ellen A. Kim

What saves the film is the chemistry between the two leads. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

West delivers the emotional goods when tragedy strikes in the final reel. If 17-year-old pop star Moore isn't a skilled actress, she's at least unassuming. Read full review

Mike Clark

Goo oozes without mercy in A Walk to Remember. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

A vehicle for teen singing sensation Mandy Moore. As vehicles go, it's an Edsel. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Basically a prim, desexualized "Carrie," told from the prom date's perspective and featuring Peter Coyote in the Piper Laurie role. Read full review

Michael Dequina

A monstrosity of a movie that I am all too eager to forget. Read full review

Great movie about young people falling in love. There are some mature themes but ultimately its a movie that teaches us that you can fall in love at any age. This movie isn't shy when it comes to tearjerking scenes all of which are central to the plot. This movie also proves that you can goGreat movie about young people falling in love.

I absolutely love this movie. A lot of people dislike it but i really do like it. It has its funny times and it also has the time to where you should really feel like you are there with the actors. This movie is great.

Great drama movie. It has the laughs, tears, and soft moments a drama movie should have. Good for a date movie or to just pop in and rewatch! One of Mandy's best works.

Full of character archetypes, shameless manipulation, trite dialogue, and contrived drama, A Walk to Remember is unmistakably the work of a hack; a hack thinks this is the only way to write a compelling romance. Excuse me, but I like romances where I feel for the couple because I like them as people, not because they're religious and contrived illnesses separate them. That's how you can tell when a movie does not care for its own integrity, and simply chooses to manipulate. There are no characters in this mass, only archetypes and contrivances.… Expand

After reading the book, I automatically fell in love with the characters and could not wait to see them come to life in the movie. The script writer left out almost everything from the book which I for one, was very shocked about. There were so many beautiful scenes in this book and the way Nicholas Sparks writes is like a work of art. In the book, Jamie is portrayed has the girl who always helps the needy. She is always volunteering at the orphanage. I thought it was very strange how they left such a significant detail out of the movie. My all time favorite part of the book was when Landon went to collect the money jars for the orphans for Jamie. I can honestly go on and on about how poorly this movie was directed. But than again, the books are always better than the movies.… Expand
