Set in North Carolina, "A Walk To Remember" follows the rite of passage of a jaded, aimless high school senior (Shane West) who falls in love with a guileless young woman (Mandy Moore) he and his friends once scorned. The two develop a powerful and inspirational relationship in which they discover truths that take most people a lifetime to learn.

Critics Consensus

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

Too-syrupy re-tread of Love Story.

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.

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’s exactly what it is and not trying to be what it’s not - a very 2002 romance movie that you put on in the background.

Better liked by the people than the critics. I enjoyed it. Mandy Moore plays a high school senior who is shunned by others because she seeks to live by her Christian faith. She and her father lost her mother years earlier, and her father has very strict standards for her. As a pastor of a local church, he is highly protective of his daughter. A popular classmate becomes interested in her, but her father doesn't want her to have anything to do with him, although the boy is a member of his congregation. There are some pieces to the story that would ruin it for you if revealed. Watch and enjoy it yourself.
