This movie gives a bad name to the term "Chick Flick"

Rating: 2/10 (18 July 2002)

This movie has themes that almost completely differ from my own beliefs. Do you remember as a little kid the color wheel that they taught you, as if everyone in life was to become a natural painter? Well, if I was red, this movie would be a teal sort of green. A Walk to Remember features a) a high dosage of Christian faith, b) a celebration of teenage marriage, and c) Mandy Moore. I'm not sure why no one shot me before the movie started, because they should have. The only reason I didn't give this movie a 1 out of 10 is because of the inclusion of two New Radicals songs on the soundtrack. To say that Mandy Moore's acting was stiff would imply some sort of action (a derivative of emotion). Mandy Moore's acting was ... nothing. It was nothing! There is no adjective to describe how bland she was. There are also several characters who are completely unnecessary, like the ex girlfriend and Shane West's father. I don't know, maybe they're in the book or something.
