I'd like a star named after me. Maybe..um, Demi Parker?

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2002)

"A Walk to Remember" spins an old tale for a new generation of young people. A touching, sentimental love story, not unlike the "Love Story 1970", this unpretentious little film offers some even performances by some fresh faces, keeps the melodrama in check, doesn't waste much time with Kodak moments, and pushes the right buttons with minimal schmaltz as it goes for the heart and ignores the viscera making for an easy buy-in to its heartwarming story. Should appeal most to teen females or sentimentalists of all ages. B-
