A Moving & Compelling Story

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 2003)

I saw this movie because it received a lot of buzz. I don't normally see a movie on word-of-mouth, & still don't know what convinced me to initially see it, but I'm eternally grateful to have experienced this rare & precious cinematic gem!
The chemistry between Shane West and Mandy Moore is amazing. While you maintain that they are teenagers, you're convinced that they discover true love. I truly applaud Mandy Moore's performance. Peter Coyote & Darryl Hannah deliver superior supporting roles.
I literally cry every time I see this movie. To see the beauty, depth & sacrifices of love.... I can't describe it with words. I implore you to lower your guard and forget what you think you "know" about chick flicks or teen films. "A Walk To Remember" is a must-see! I dare you to see this movie & not be moved.
Final Note: The music so beautifully supported the film, especially during the performance of "Only Hope".
