Another terrible teen movie

Rating: 3/10 (2 September 2007)

***May be spoilers ahead*** A Walk to Remember is a very annoying movie. I will explain. Mandy Moore cannot act. In the least. She is one of the worst actors to grace the existence of Hollywood. Her performance in this movie is dull. The worst part is, she's probably not going to be in another movie like this where she can shine as the lead.
The plot of this movie is terrible. I mean, they get married! they're 18 for god's sake!! That just ticks me off. I am a fan of the Nicholas Sparks book because it's well written and i like .. well, everything about the book! But the movie, was veryy loosely based on the book. By loosely, I mean I could list 100 things (or more) about how the movie is soo much different than the book. But I'm not going to, because it would take too long to type.
The casting of this movie was well done. That's about the only reason why this movie gets any stars. Landon's gangster friends, all look gangster. Now, I love Shane West. I think he's gorgeous, and and OK actor. But he's nothing compared to, Leonardo DiCaprio, or Tom Hanks. But he's OK. He was and still is the only reason I watch this movie. The other reason is, Lauren German. She is the most talented woman in this production. As I said before, Mandy can't act to save her life. Or sing! As a matter of fact. While we're on the subject of the music in this movie, it deserves one out of the 3 stars.
The songs, are chosen very well. Although they didn't very with a lot of artists. Most of the songs in the movie are preformed by none other than.. my favourite band! Basically why I like the music so much. Switchfoot. Now what I'm about to say might be controversial, but I love the song Only Hope, but I HATE how Mandy Moore sings it! The version done by Switchfoot during the wedding sequence is sooo much better. I mean, Switchfoot wrote the damn song! Mandy singing that song, reminds me soo much of Celine Dion singing My Heart Will Go on. She didn't write it, she just preformed it! Taking all the credit for a song they didn't even write ticks me off.
This movie is a never ending flow of cheesy lines! I have to admit, those lines got me hooked on this movie for a month or so until I realized that life's not like that! People don't say things like that at all! For example: "Do you love me?" By the way, does it tick anybody else off how Jamie says Mmmmmmm a lot? And Mhmmmmm . Ahhh it ticks me off! Anyways, continuing with the quote, "Will you do something for me then? Will you marry me?" THEY ARE 18!! 18!! God.
This movie tries to be a tearjerker wayy to hard. With main characters crying all over the place, more sappy lines, and big hugs. Oh! And death!! Thats right I said it. Jamie dies!! Get over it retards. The last 15 minutes of the movie are the worst though. Just more lines, and death and tears. Cry me a river to all the idiots who fell for all the junk.
Well, that's about all I have to say about this piece of crap that is considered a film. Thanks for reading!
