Heartwarming heartbreaker.

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2002)

I actually came close to tears on this one. Which is pretty rare. The most recent movie to make me cry in probably the last ten years is RIDING IN CARS WITH BOYS. Shane West does a pretty good acting job here and so does pop star Mandy Moore. This film is much better than what I was expecting. I was expecting another mushy romance story with characters that always make the wrong choices. But this is an intelligent romance with a moral.

The story was a little original with believable acting from most of the actors. While I didn't really cry or anything, I did get a little moved at certain parts of the film. When we find out the bad news, I really wasn't expecting it. It came sort of like a shock to me. But, all in all, everything turns out good. The ending wasn't really a happy one, but atleast it wasn't a sad, depressing one. A WALK TO REMEMBER gets 5/5.
