A Walk To Remember DVD

Advantages: Touching, more than your average teen movie/chick flick
Disadvantages: You'll cry!

A Walk to Remember A typical chick-flick style film that most blokes will not agree to watching, don't read this review if you want to be suprised by it as it pretty much gives away the whole storyline! **THE PLOT** The film starts with a group of a few high school students at a lake which is private property. The group are getting another student to take an initiation test to let him join their group. The initiation is to climb up to an extreme ...
...be jumped into from such a height. Just as Landon reaches the bottom of the ladder, the sound of police sirens emerges and the rest of the group quickly jump into their cars and drive off. Landon however cannot leave the boy in the middle of the lake like that - he wades in and pulls him to the side of the lake before jumping into his car and trying to escape. Landon gets caught by the police and is given community service as a punishment (he was ... Read review

Advantages: Good Acting From Mandy Moore, Good Performance From The Lovely Shane West, Good Story.
Disadvantages: Well I Guess They Guys Would Brand It As A Chick Flick!

...I think it had been a year, well I can’t really remember. What am I talking about then? Well ever since I saw a trailer for the movie a walk to remember I’d wanted to see it. I’d almost purchased it on DVD but decided to wait a few more weeks to see it on the big screen. Anyway my mate (who would like to remain anonymous) we’ll call her Dorothy, had just seen it the first day it came out and she thoroughly enjoyed it and recommended ...
...ruined it for me in a matter of seconds, what is wrong with you Dorothy?! Anyway the novelty wore off so I decided to wait a while before seeing it in the cinema, but last night I finally went to see it and all I can say is “aaaww”. From the trailer it looks like a soppy, romance movie but that’s not all it is. It deals with serious issues teenagers have to deal with in life. I liked everything about it. I mean from the outside ... Read review

Advantages: Great cast and acting, great soundtrack, not just a chickflick
Disadvantages: Might make you cry!

A Walk To Remember - film only °*°*° Story °*°*° We open in a deserted cement factory next to a lake. In a bid to join the 'cool kids', Clay Gephardt must jump into the water. Inevitably, he gets hurt when the water isn't deep enough and the police turn up. One of the group spends a few minutes trying to help the injured boy, and gets caught by the police. It turns out this is Langdon Carter - our main male lead. It's the next day when we meet ...
...is the Reverend. She is a very plain looking girl and has the look of someone who's shy and quiet. For the first time we get to hear her sensational singing voice, and it is this that catches Langdon's eye. We quickly learn that Jamie is not part of the 'in crowd'; Langdon puts it that she is 'not exactly a reject, but defiantly in self exile territory'. As punishment for being the one caught, and in a bid to make him 'experience other types of ... Read review

Advantages: great acting, brilliant plot,
Disadvantages: none

...has been turned more into a teen movie but this doesn't mean it is cheesy in any way, it is very mature and the book couldn't have been brought to life any better. The reason many critics were unsure of what to expect from this film is because this is Mandy Moore's firsty try at acting. After the other failures from Britney Spears and Beyonce Knowles, Mandy shows she can be brilliant at acting and singing. Mandy does not look glamorous in this film ...
...with Sean Connery. This is a different part for him even though it is a teen movie. He plays the nice guy and shows how brilliant he can be. Peter Coyote and Daryl Hannah also do a great job as being parents of both teenagers. With a great cast does the film live up to what you would expect? Yes it is a brilliant and lovely teen romance with a lot of feeling and emotion. The film doesn't start off brilliantly but there is a reason why the beginning ... Read review

Advantages: surprisingly good acting and characters
Disadvantages: a little too soppy at times

...Bouncy, Mandy is actually not a bad little actress. And "A Walk to Remember", similarly, is not a bad little film. The story at first focuses on the two leads Jamie (Moore) and Landon (Shane West) and the vast differences between them. Jamie is the minister's daughter, an excellent student, and one of those "well-rounded" individuals who throws herself into extra-curricular activities. Landon is bright enough, but he's in with a "bad" crowd who ...
...After an "initiation" of a friend into their select little gang goes wrong, Landon finds himself forced to take part in all the extra-curricular activities he's strived to avoid. Tutoring, the school play . . .all things that JAMIE does voluntarily, purely because that's the type of girl she is! She makes the effort to get to know Landon but he isn't interested in grasping her extended hand of friendship. Not that Jamie lets that bother her - she's ... Read review
