Summary of A Walk to Remember

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.

Critics Reviews

Variety
A glossy teen-weepie romance that often plays like an inspirational indie skewed toward Christian niche market.
San Francisco Chronicle
A movie for teenagers, and, as these things go, very entertaining.

Users Reviews

Talk about letting "viewers clean out their tear ducts", ain't that the truth. I literally started crying from the time Jamie told Landon about her illness to the end of the movie. I read the book awhile back so I couldn't remembered what happened....
All these negative reviews just reinforce the idea in Hollywood that stories are only realistic when they are smutty and disgusting. I thought this was just a dumb teen romance--I was very happy to be wrong. My wife wanted me to get a stupid movie,...
