Rating: Null/10 (1 March 2006)

"A Walk to Remember" is an incredibly boring, predictable teen "romantic drama", that it makes me wonder why so many people were captivated by this damaged sugar-lump. Before AWTR fans call me "cynic", I say: I'm a romantic teenage guy, but I wasn't moved at all by this crap. Why? Because all the clichés of silly melodramas are here; Shane West is a terrible actor and Mandy Moore is bland as hell (Gwyneth Paltrow and Keira Knightley are Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore compared to her); the screenplay sounds like Mexican soap opera and Adam Shankman is NOT a filmmaker. Peter Coyote and Daryl Hannah should get better agents.
If you want to see a beautiful drama with a refreshing touch of romance, go rent "My Life Without Me", with Sarah Polley.
My vote is 2 out of 10 (not 1 because Moore's character got what she deserved by the end).
