What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though wholesome, the Mandy Moore vehicle A Walk to Remember is also bland and oppressively syrupy.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Too-syrupy re-tread of Love Story. Rated: 2/5 Dec 21, 2010 Full Review Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader This realist fairy tale of impossible love has a fair amount of nuance and charm. Jan 20, 2010 Full Review Christy Lemire Associated Press It's an overwrought teen weepy, Terms of Endearment for the TRL crowd. Jan 20, 2010 Full Review Rachel Wagner Hallmarkies Podcast The best of the Nicholas Sparks films. Great chemistry. Sweet story Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Patricia Karounos Refinery29 The pit in your stomach that forms when her reasoning is finally revealed never quite goes away, even as the young couple stay steadfast in their love for each other. Oct 23, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This was greeted with savage reviews upon its initial release, but it's actually one of the better Mandy Moore movies, one of the better Nicholas Sparks adaptations, and one of the worthier faith-based flicks. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 19, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I love this move so much. its literally my favorite movie. Its really a wholesome movie and its very cute. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Faiz D A nice romantic film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Kate M I don't get the other critics but for me it was one of my favorite romantic movies of all time maybe it's been quite cheesy for others probably it's been done for two decades ago which is apparently in a different phase now. But for me the words used , the characters, the singing of Mandy Moore, the story was not just another teen movie but it was made of pure love and sweetness that would make you want to fall in love that way😍 and made me still weep after watching it for the 8th time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Aurela S Absolutely love this movie. Yes, it is cheesy as all get out, but the morality behind it and the growth of the characters that takes place make the movie worth watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Patty V Sappy and dated, but cute Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Daniel S Really enjoyed it, but it seemed to move too quickly. Some films execute an expedited story well. This is good, just could have slowed it down a little. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
