Average Rating:4.1/10

Consensus: Though wholesome, the Mandy Moore vehicle A Walk to Remember is also bland and oppressively syrupy.

Runtime: 1 hr 42 mins

Genre: Dramas

Synopsis: Landon Carter (Shane West) and his friends are the coolest kids in Beaufort, North Carolina. They wear the right clothes, drive the right cars, and get into just enough trouble to be rebellious.... Landon Carter (Shane West) and his friends are the coolest kids in Beaufort, North Carolina. They wear the right clothes, drive the right cars, and get into just enough trouble to be rebellious. Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) is the opposite--there doesn't seem to be anything cool about her. The preacher's daughter, plain Jamie wears big boxy dresses and the same sweater every day. She endures the scorn of Landon and his friends with a smile, always looking for the best in people. When a prank planned by Landon and his friend goes terribly wrong, the principal sentences him to tutoring on the weekends and working on the school play, activities in which Jamie is involved. As the two begin spending time together, Landon finds himself intrigued by this guileless girl who sees beauty in everything and exhibits unwavering faith in people and in the world. When circumstances beyond Landon and Jamie's control threaten their love, he stays by her side and does everything he can to make her dreams come true. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks, the film also stars Peter Coyote and Daryl Hannah. [More]

Succeeds modestly as a teen movie. Expect anything else from it and you'll be disappointed.

Those raised on idealized romances (the Ken and Barbie kind) where love conquers all will no doubt love this sappy tale.

A kind of low-rent version of Love Story with overt religious overtones...

'No one was expecting Remains of the Day but this film could have been more than just a Dawson's Creek stop gap.'

A sermonizing and lifeless paean to teenage dullards.
