This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

From Nicholas Sparks' second novel, "A Walk To Remember" pairs Mandy Moore and Shane West as high school teens at opposite ends of everything. Moore plays a bible carrying sweetheart who is basically a saint with an amazing singing voice, while West plays a jackass who is part of the cool crowd. Neither of them has much in common, but a prank pulled by West causes an accident that forces West to do community service. One such service is to take part in a school play
playing the lead. Huh, what? West has no interest in playing lead, nor does he have any experience in acting; but the drama teacher gives him the male lead anyway because
well, because the screenwriter and director want West and Moore to have a reason to spend lots of time together, and they couldn't be bothered with writing a more plausible reason, so we just have to accept that shenanigan.So anyway
Moore/West have to study their lines together and guess what? West starts to like Moore, despite her being all goody goody and wearing weird clothes and the same sweater
well, to be fair, Moore is beautiful and is such a nice person and honest and intelligent — traits that West is hard pressed to find in his cool group. Moore's portrayal of her character is absolutely on the money, very believable and extremely likable; and it is Moore who saves this movie from being a cheese fest and catapults it to an entertaining, heartwarming rom/com/drama.Enough of me gushing over Moore's performance. West/Moore's romance of course hits the obvious bumps: the cool kids hate her; the father hates West; West feels alienated by his cool friends, etc. But the biggest bump is when Moore reveals her secret to West. This revelation is my most memorable, movie moment, which I will not spoil; but fans of Sparks will probably guess the secret.For the average moviegoer, "A Walk To Remember" will be a bit too corny and syrupy for their tastes; but for rom/com/drama fans, this is one of the better ones, and Mandy Moore's performance has almost everything to do with it.Mannysmemorablemoviemoments

Cant say much about this movie, i bought it really cheap yesterday fancied it as I love Mandy Moore she is an exceptional singer and a good actress and Shane West too, and I knew it was an old film so they were quite young and inexperienced as actors in this film. Class is all i can say pure class, acting is superb the support cast Daryl Hanna and Peter Coyote the music and boy Mandy Moore sure has got an amazing voice. Yes OK its a little predictable but i didn't expect the secret. This movie has so much going on for it, I can highly recommend it for any age, I mean i am 66 and just loved it. BUT warning get the hankies out, I cried for so long i have a headache so make sure you have some pain killers around too lol. Just superb. West Side Story meets Mean Girls and Love Story all mixed together in a blender pure gold. Watch it you wont be sorry.
