Critics Consensus

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

This realist fairy tale of impossible love has a fair amount of nuance and charm.

It's an overwrought teen weepy, Terms of Endearment for the TRL crowd.

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.

2.5/4

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.

It started a bit cliche with the whole high school romance tale, but later on, it took a wild and dark turn. Might've been a bit fast at times in the story, but overall a sweet movie

A Walk to Remember is a cinematic gem to always remember Mandy Moore's spot on performance and her undeniable connection with Shane West. This poignant romance is a love letter to fans of Nicholas Sparks and romance novels, reminding us to stay true to our hearts and cherish every moment with our loved ones. Grading: B

A Walk to Remember (2002) might seem at first like just another cheesy teenage love story, but it takes a different turn that makes it special in a good way. Mandy Moore does a solid job, but overall I felt the cast leaned too much into overacting, which sometimes took away from the story. The soundtrack wasn’t really my style either. Bottom line: even more than 20 years later, I’d still recommend giving this movie a watch.
