Two teens learn the true meaning of love

Rating: 8/10 (16 September 2005)

Landon Carter has always been with the crowd that constantly gets in trouble and makes fun of others. After Landon saves the life of one of his friends and gets busted by the cops, He is forced to do community service, including the school play. His co-star, Jamie Sullivan, is the pastor's daughter. At first he is afraid of being around her because of his reputation. Then after flyers are made about her in the wrong way, he defends her, leaving his popularity and friends. They start to go out with each other and admit that they both are in love. Then Landon learns the truth; Jamie has leukemia. He tries everything to help her. He finally made Jamie's number one ambition; they both got married in a church. After the summer was over, Jamie dies but remains in Landon's heart. I cry every time I watch it because it's so sad and happy. This, in my opinion, is Mandy Moore's best film ever. She and Shane West do the best job portraying Jamie Sullivan and Landon Carter.
