What a pleasant surprise!

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2002)

I have to start off by saying that i am not a fan of the Pop princess scene, but what a pleasant surprise A walk to remember turned out to be! I watched this movie by default and all i can say...again...is wow! Manday Moore, the last in the line of Pop teens to hit the scene is absolutely wonderful in the role of Jaime Sullivan. She deserves to be given credit for a job well done. As a previous user mentioned, they always seem to cast the beautiful in the role of the dowdy-but-soon-to-be-hot role. No one can say that Mandy moore is beautiful, but never in the movie is she so polished and greased up. She looks natural and it's all so believable! Her acting was really good, and she handled the emotional scenes well - could've been better, but it was ok.
Aaah, then we come to Landon, played by Once and Again's Eli Samler. Excellent. I loved him in this role, the emotional scenes was really moving and i found myself teared up ALL THROUGH this movie!
I would recommed this to anyone. I've gone to see it twice already, and i'm planning on buying a copy as well.
By the way, th soundtrack is great too. Tell me you cried through the ply scene when Jaime was singing Only hope???? Come on, admit it!
EXCELLENT!!! A must see! Oh, and kleenex is essential!
