Very sweet and emotional.

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2002)

I just saw 'A walk to remember', and thought it was such a sweet, emotional uplifting movie. It was a touch of beaches meets romeo and juliette. Very dramatic yet so sweet to the heart to relate to a modern adolecent audience.
Very true to the fact that i myself am a guy and i was sitting in a cinema by myself full of young girls who saw this movie with the exception of a few reluctant boyfriends who got pulled along i'm guessing! I'm not the kind of guy who cries at movies. In fact to date no movie has ever made me cry, (hence forth the 'cold hearted' nickname my friends gave me.. haha. I am though a sucker for romances and dramas, just haven't found a movie so strong) although 'A walk to remember' made my eyes moist. Prehaps it's because i could relate to the characters - or that the actors were so believable with emotionals. Either way, the way they all related to each other thanks to a great story, fantastic acting and well timed editing/directing .. the movie really took hold of you.
My sincere applause to first time actress Mandy Moore, and a very convincing Shane West.
