Movie Reviews of A Walk to Remember
Movie Review: Jamie
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw this film, I found myself completely infatuated with the heroine. But I wasn't fully sure why. Yeah, she was beautiful, but most young women in the world of entertainment are these days.Jamie was sweet, and intelligent, but I've seen those things before, as well. Then it hit me-the telescope. She had this love and passion for astronomy. From the moment I saw her entering the cemetery, in the dead of night, to pursue her love of the celestial, it was over for me: I have never been so enchanted with a character. Now, I, personally, can take astronomy or leave it. But it's what it represents that makes her so appealing. Most people in America do things because of how they wish to be perceived within their peer group. But Jamie is into astronomy for its own sake. It is something she loves, for her own reasons. What other motivation could she have? After all, nobody is going to get elected homecoming queen for lugging a telescope around a cemetery at night.It's not something you do to be accepted. It's something she did because of who she was.
She was so charming, and so beautiful, but also so strong and independent. So kind, but also so sincere.Jamie was as close to the ideal woman as I can imagine. Yes, I know, I know.....she's not real(although I do seem to recall reading that she was inspired by a real person). But the response she awakens within me is quite real.Based upon some of the comments I've heard from other guys, I can tell that I'm not the only one who sees her in this light.They say you can't wear out a dvd. But I have the feeling I will be putting that theory to the test.

Summary: 5 Stars
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY THIS MOVIE. WITHOUT A DOUBT, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE SEEN IN AWHILE. MOST PEOPLE I KNOW WHO HAVE SEEN IT ARE SURPRISED AT HOW GOOD IT IS.IT FOLLOWS THE BITTERSWEET(MOSTLY SWEET) LOVESTORY OF BADBOY LANDON AN GOODGIRL JAMIE. MANDY MOORE STEPS AWAY FROM HER IMAGE AS A POPSTAR PRINCESS TO PLAY JAMIE,A A CONSERVITIVE PREACHER'S DAUGHTER WHO UNEXPECTANTLY FINDS LOVE WITH LANDON, A COCKY BIG MAN ON CAMPUS,PLAYED BRILLIANTLY BY SHANE WEST WHO GIVES A STARMAKING PERFORMANCE. THIS WAS A MOVIE THAT COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN A ..., SAPPY TEARJERKER BUT BECAUSE OF THE PERFORMANCES AND THE WONDERFUL STORY,WHICH IS SUBTLE AND DOESN'T HIT YOU OVER THE HEADIT BECOMES A SWEET MOVIE ABOUT NOT ONLY LOVE BUT REDEMPTION AND FAITH. NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM MANDY MOORE BECAUSE SHE IS GREAT BUT SHANE WEST CARRIES THIS MOVIE. IT IS TOLD MOSTLY FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW.IT IS THROUGH THE EYES OF HIS CHARACTER THAT WE SEE ALL THE EVENTS UNFOLD. THERE ARE A LOT OF HANDSOME YOUNG ACTORS OUT THERE THAT COULD HAVE PLAYED THIS ROLE BUT I CAN'T THINK OF ONE WHO COULD HAVE PULLED OFF WHAT SHANE DOES--THAT IS TAKE A CHARACTER WHO STARTS OFF AS A CONCEITED JERK AND TURN HIM INTO SOULFUL, THOUGHTFUL GOODGUY WHO NOT ONLY WINS JAMIE'S HEART BUT THE HEART OF THE AUDIENCE. HE DOES ALL THAT AND MAKES IT BELIEVABLE. EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE YET OR READ THE BOOK I AM SURE YOU HAVE HEARD THAT ITS SAD OR THAT IT WILL MAKE YOU CRY AND IT WILL BUT FOR ME THIS IS A MOVIE WORTH SEEING OVER AND OVER AGAIN EVEN IF IT MEANS CRYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN SO PLEASE GET IT!
Movie Review: Oh my GOSH
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh my gosh this is such a great movie. You can watch this over 20 times and not get tired of it! Trust me there are no corny scenes no stupid take of you clothes crap! Every parent can appreciate the support it gives them. A sweet film that will make you cry and if you dont cry it will eat you up inside thinking about it. Mandy Moore plays her part in such a refreshing way ( unlike Britney Spears) she plays a girl that sticks to her morals no matter what the situation. I think that she will go far in acting if she stays this way. Shane West... WOW... WOW i dont know what to say an amazing performance so amazing his character a bad-ass kid turned good. Oh my gosh not only is he drop dead gorgeouse but he is also an AMAZING ACTOR totally something you want to add to your collection, hey even guys love this story, i have a friend who saw it before me HE told me the whole story and was actually really in to it! He said it was his favorite "chick-flick" and made his " eyes a lil misty"! This movie really made a mark in peoples lives when i ask a guy have you seen " A walk to remember" they pop up and just start talking and talking about it, something the whole family will love. Although this movie makes you cry its kinda a good cry like you just gotta but doesnt mean your deppressed or whatever.
Shane West AMAZING wow wow i really dont know what to say such a good actor soooo much talent, as well as looks! Mandy moore totally refreshing and nice to see! This movie deserves so much more!!!
You will so miss out if you dont own this!!!!
Movie Review: A movie to remember
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone who knows what a good movie is and has seen this movie knows that it is a very good movie that is not just another teen movie. I've left a review on the film itself already, so please check that out. So now I'll leave a review on the overall DVD. The DVD includes two commentaries, the first by Mandy Moore, Shane West, and director Adam Shankman. It is a very interesting and funny commentary, and it is fun to listen to. But the 2nd commentary by author Nicholas Sparks and the screenwriter is much more fact-filled and interesting. Overall, both commentaries are essential to hear if you want to learn more about the making of the film. Next we have the music video for the main song of the film, "Cry" by Mandy Moore. Now this has got to be Mandy's greatest video ever, she looks great in it, and her voice is amazing. Shane also made an appearance in the video, which makes it alot better. Overall the video is very well done, and it is a great special feature. Then you can watch the trailer to the film, the full-length theatrical trailer, which as with any film, is a nice feature. The last thing is the Cast biographies and filmographies of Shane West, Mandy Moore, and two more cast members. The film includes English and French audio, and it has English and Frech subtitles. The only dissapointment you might realise, is that during Mandy's singing, there are no subtitles. So go buy the DVD if you haven't already. It's a great add to your collection, and believe me, you WILL watch it more than once.Movie Review: LITERALLY WEPT BUCKETS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Is it just my imagination, or is Shane West really too gorgeous to be true?? I watched the movie a couple of years back with my buddies, and we needed a towel to mop up our tears (no Kleenex for me!) The movie is one of the most touching ones I've seen so far.. and I loved it enough to be persuaded to buy the book as well.Landon Carter is a high school jock- arrogant, irresponsible, immature and wild. He meets one Jamie Sullivan, a quiet, misunderstood, unpopular misfit, who helps him learn to believe in himself and shares her faith with him. I found Shane West's interpretation of the role extremely convincing, he portrays Carter with just the right amount of charm, confusion and trepidation as he attempts to dissuade his growing feelings for Jamie. He is eventually led to become a warm, understanding individual, with new values and beliefs and a purpose in his otherwise aimless existence. Mandy Moore has totally exceeded my expectations of her acting abilities as a pop singer turned actress. The chemistry they have makes this movie a MUST see for soppy-flick fans like myself!
While the storyline is pretty common... A Walk To Remember is unique in the aspect that it has presented a typical love story, of the trials, tests and triumphs of young love in a fresh, new and provocative light, and though the film is different from the book by Nicholas Sparks, I found both very enjoyable in their own ways..
A movie not to be missed! And just for the road.... SHANE WEST ROCKS!!!
