| | | Take a risk. Dare to move. Love is a leap of faith.|It all comes down to who's by your side.
Love brings together what peer pressure and lifestyles seek to keep apart in this coming-of-age story based on a bestseller by Nicholas Sparks (Message In A Bottle) and directed by Adam Shankman (The Wedding Planner). Multi-platinum recording star Mandy Moore plays Jamie, a preacher's daughter whose self-confidence doesn't depend on the opinions of others. Shane West (TV's Once And Again) plays Landon, who's skating through high school on looks and bravado. But when events thrust him into Jamie's world, he begins an unexpected journey he'll never forget. Trust. Hope. Goals. Faith. Unconditional love. They're the remarkable steps to a life changed--and A Walk To Remember.

Editor's Note
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.

"...A WALK TO REMEMBER is a sensitively told story of first love....West and Moore rise to the challenge their roles demand under the committed direction of Adam Shankman..." 01/25/2002 p.C17Variety
"...Shane West makes an appealingly persuasive transition from embittered cynic to earnest romantic..." 01/28/2002 p.28 Chicago Sun-Times
"...A love story so sweet, sincere and positive that it sneaks past our ironic defenses....It tells a quietly touching story of a love based on values and respect..." 03/17/2002 p.5 Total Film
"...[Moore] turns in a sensitive, charming and radiant performance..." 10/01/2002 p.131 Chicago Sun-Times 8 of 10
The performances by Moore and West are so quietly convincing we're reminded that many teenagers in movies seem to think like 30-year-old standup comics... That Jamie and Landon base their romance on values and respect will blindside some viewers of the film... A Walk To Remember is a small treasure. - Roger Ebert
San Francisco Chronicle 8 of 10
...like Love Story [the film] carries a powerful emotional punch. West, a brooding babe-in-training, weaves a complex web of feelings in his portrayal of Landon. The sexy Moore, certainly among the most winning of the latest crop of singers, is even more captivating as an actress.... Terrific, in fact, describes the whole affair. - Octavio Roca

5 of 5 A Beautiful Story of Love and How Faith and God Ca Wednesday, July 17, 2002
Sherri from Corona, CA
Truly a Beautiful Story of Love about two local kids that grew up together but never really knew each other until a turn of events caused their paths to cross. How faith and preseverence can change the very core of a person. A great movie for youth groups..has a slight bit of profanity in the beginning but as an overall movie it is excellent. I highly recommend this movie. When I called my 3 sons (ages 14,13& 12) in to watch it with me they grumbeled "chick flick", they loved it. When I went to buy this movie at Wal-Mart they had sold out twice the same day they got them in. If your not sure you want to buy it rent it first and watch it. I guarantee you'll love it.

5 of 5 A truly touching movie, sparking much emotion Tuesday, June 04, 2002
Stan U. from Oakland, NJ
This movie is a celebration regarding life. It has its moments where it makes you feel wonderful all over. There are also moments where tears can fill the eyes. Overall, it does an excellent job of sparking many emotions. An extremely well-made film. Yes, it is cheesy at times, but you must look past that and at the heart of the matter. It will then take you into its grasp and squeeze you tight. Was this review helpful?
